Linote
Read full descriptionHide full description
Linote is inspired by Andrej Karpathy’s append-and-review note-taking approach. One continuous note. Append new thoughts at the top. Review occasionally. Let unimportant ideas naturally sink. This simple model works remarkably well, but managing it inside a generic notes app eventually creates friction. Linote is a purpose-built single-page notebook that keeps the same philosophy while making it faster and more practical for daily use. With Linote, every note lives on one flat page. You can quickly append ideas, move important ones back to the top with a swipe, select multiple notes to merge or clean up, and search instantly by keyword. No folders. No hierarchy. No context switching. Linote helps you unload thoughts quickly, trust that nothing is lost, and review when you are ready. It follows the original method, optimized for real-world use.

The clearest difference is rating: Linote at 5.0 against EZ Diary App's 3.7. Linote also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). EZ Diary App's advantage is ratings volume (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
