I created Adjourn when I started to take on product coordination in addition to my software development activities at work. With at least 30 minutes per day (sometimes up to 5 hours per day!) of meetings, I struggled with remembering everything. I tried handwritten notes, regular note apps, dedicated meeting apps, Trello, and mindmaps.
I liked the handwritten notes for their durable storage. I liked Trello for the ease of separating and grouping content. I liked mindmaps for the ability to make infinite branches of information. But none of them really worked for me for long.
Adjourn set out to combine all the good points of the note-taking methods I liked while keeping everything as simple as possible. Some of the other meeting apps I tried just felt like another note-taking app with special functionality and that didn't really cut it.
I like the idea, and the interface looks good so far. However—and I know this may not be a popular opinion—if I can’t self-host it, it’s a non-starter. The sorts of stuff that get discussed in our internal meetings would be the stuff of nightmares if it were dumped from an online service: project planning, root cause analysis, vendor comparisons, code reviews, you name it. It’d be a very tough sell to put that in the hands of a third party.

Let me know what you think!

Very nice app. What is it built on?
