For note‑taking, Evernote’s free tier stores up to 60 MB of notes and allows you to clip web articles for later reading. If you need a simple calendar, the built‑in Google Calendar app sends push notifications and lets you share events with classmates or teammates.

All the apps above work offline after the first sync, which means you won’t waste data on a bad connection. They’re also lightweight, so they won’t slow down older phones.

Give these apps a try, and you’ll see how much you can accomplish without spending a dime. Keep an eye on updates—many free tools add new features every few months, so the list stays fresh.
