We might be the first social network where every word is handwritten. Every note. Every comment. Every reply. Written by hand with your finger, Apple Pencil, or any stylus. No keyboards. No copy-paste. There's nothing else like this. No other social network has ever made handwriting the way you communicate. Your feed is drawn, one stroke at a time. In a world that moves too fast, NotTyped is a place to slow down. The friction of handwriting is the feature. It makes you think before you post. Nothing here writes for you. Your handwriting is your voice. No two notes look the same. HOW IT WORKS Write a word on the canvas. Tap to confirm. Keep writing. Post when you're done. That's it. WHAT YOU CAN DO Follow writers whose handwriting you love Like, comment, and reply, all by hand Share notes as images to Instagram, Threads, and more Dedicate notes to friends Keep your account private if you want NotTyped. Write it. Don't type it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: NotTyped at weekly against Jami's every 3 weeks. Jami's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
