Retelle will help you curate your life events and stories. With a personal timeline you will never forget events, people or places. Too often it happens that amazing memories are forgotten since we rely on remembering them by accidental association while talking about similar stories or events. With Retelle you can go back and relive the moments and experiences of your life, make sure you are not forgetting anything and very easily reconstruct the timeline of all important memories. It is easy to forget these events because we don't think about the very often and we believe this app will help you with that. With Retelle you can go through your timeline and refresh your memory before going out with friends so you don't miss any important experiences that happened. For example, meeting a friend that you've seen a year ago, you can easily scroll through events from the last year and retelling them becomes much easier. Anything that you find interesting can be put on a timeline: stories, pictures, contacts, e-mails, links to news, videos, images that you found and want to save them so you can share your experience with others. At this point App has the essential features to start documenting your life and in the future I will be adding more capabilities like: searching and filtering of your timeline, adding locations and tags, adding multiple images and videos, summaries for a time period and much more. Light/dark mode, font size and some other settings are read from the phone and cannot be changed from inside the app. In the future there will be an option to change these settings. Most importantly: all the data is yours! Every piece of data is stored on the local file system and no one except for you has access to it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Retelle at Free against Pocket Note Pro's $3.99. Retelle also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Pocket Note Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.1). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
