Minimal | Notes vs Scrinium

Write with focus. Open your mind with Minimal, a meditation-inspired notes and writing app. Minimal combines thoughtful, modern design with powerful features to deliver a spacious, beautiful writing environment. • Note Lifetime • Collaborative writing • Publish notes as websites • Add Todos to the Calendar app • Beautiful formatting • Sync everywhere: Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch Minimal is a simple yet powerful notes app. Inspired by meditation, nature, and architectural design, Minimal provides a beautiful space to think, write, and organize projects. NOTE LIFETIME The Note Lifetime keeps your notebook fresh and reflective of the present moment. When a note goes unedited for a duration you choose in settings, you’ll be gently notified. This is an opportunity to review the note, act on it, or let it go. COLLABORATIVE WRITING Share notes with friends, family, and teammates. With a gentle design, writing remains focused and tranquil, even as thoughts merge and ideas multiply. Everyone receives changes as notes evolve, and multiple people can make edits at the same time without conflict. FOCUSED + SPACIOUS DESIGN Minimal is designed so only one element is ever in focus. We love the beauty of a blank page – abundant empty space allows for an ease of creative expression. PUBLISH AS WEBSITE Transform notes into beautifully-formatted websites in microseconds. TODO LISTS Todo lists are an effective way to organize projects and complete tasks. Sync with the Calendar app, get things done, and check everything off. BEAUTIFUL FORMATTING Minimal combines Markdown-style formatting with elegant typography. The result is simple, expressive notes that make it easy to think and write. SYNC EVERYWHERE Bring focus to your favorite devices. Minimal is designed for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Cloud Sync is fast, reliable, and invisible. SHARE, EXPORT, IMPORT You’re in control of your notes. Share directly in iMessage, export as PDF or HTML, and use the system share mechanism to take notes anywhere. Importing links + prose into Minimal is just as easy. CUSTOMIZE EVERYTHING The best notebook is personal. We made everything in Minimal customizable, from fonts + themes to sorting notes + note actions. You can also build custom workflows using the Shortcuts app. A LITTLE GIFT Wow, thanks for reading. As a little gift for tuning in, these are our favorite musicians -> Somi, Snarky Puppy, and London Grammar. They’re jazzy and introspective, just how we like it.

Scrinium is a read-later app with a longer memory. Save an article from Safari or with the Scrinium Clipper on your computer, and keep a private offline copy that remains searchable even if the original page later changes. SAVES Use the Share Sheet or Safari toolbar button on iPhone and iPad. Scrinium saves the page content your browser provides. It does not bypass paywalls or unlock content you could not already access. KEEPS Saved text and available images are kept for offline reading. Scrinium presents articles in a native reader—not an embedded browser—and never executes the captured webpage. Retained source remains inert and private. FINDS Search the full text of your archive instantly, with matching words highlighted in each result. Automatic tags are created on-device from article text and publisher metadata. It's an archive to search, not an inbox to clear—no unread counts, streaks, or guilt. READS Enjoy serif typography, adjustable text size, offline images, and a reader that filters common page clutter such as ads, subscription prompts, and related-story modules. Highlight important passages, hide unwanted blocks, and let Scrinium remember those choices for each publication. LISTENS Tap the headphones and Scrinium reads the article aloud, sentence by sentence, highlighting the current sentence as it speaks. Playback continues on the Lock Screen with play, pause, and sentence skip, along with your place in the article; AirPlay and Bluetooth speakers work; leave mid-article and Listen resumes where you stopped. Articles in other languages are spoken in their own language when your device has a matching voice installed. Reading aloud uses system voices available on your iPhone or iPad. Scrinium does not send article text to a developer server. SYNCS Your archive syncs through your private iCloud database. There is no Scrinium account, developer-run content server, analytics, advertising, or tracking. BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY No Scrinium account. No subscription. No AI summaries or rewrites. No analytics, advertising, or recommendation feed. Scrinium saves the articles you choose, presents them clearly, and leaves the author's words alone. The free archive holds up to 15 articles. Reading, search, highlights, editing, deleting, and sync are never limited. Scrinium Unlimited removes the save limit and unlocks the desktop Clipper with a one-time purchase—no subscription. Family Sharing is supported.
