◆ The source of PutApp I am an App control, like to install all kinds of interesting and fun applications, especially those small but beautiful, high value, minimalist design products, maybe just because of its beautiful UI, simple and literary temperament, so you can't stop loving it, so there are more and more apps installed on the phone, and the memory is getting smaller and smaller. Sometimes the frequency of opening it is very low, but I still want to pay attention to its trend, learn & learn from its beautiful UI, excellent interaction and so on. So I developed an app for designers, product managers and app collectors, hoping you can use it to collect and organize those apps that make your eyes shine. ◆ Some features of PutApp 1. Collecting apps can be done without opening PutApp to submit apps, select/create app sets, notes and other functions. 2. The apps in the app collection support custom sorting, batch deletion and migration. 3. You can easily filter the noted and uncommented apps. 4. Click on the application logo to open some of the locally installed applications directly. ...... ◆ My website Code Power Studio: https://www.maliquankai.com (Occasionally share various resources of product/design) Code force all open resource site: https://design.maliquankai.com (product/designer/independent developer's resource library) ◆ Contact me Your suggestions are vital to us, any questions and suggestions, write in the comment section or contact me.

Vault Notes

Vault Notes is a privacy-focused note manager which provides an inbuild encrypted storage. It imploys rigorously tested AES-256 encryption standard to store user notes. All the notes are stored locally on the user’s device. Contrary to the ongoing frenzy of “move everything to cloud” we believe in “localization of user data” giving you the control of your data and not some third-party cloud service provider. We know you gotta change your device once in a while that’s why Vault Notes also provides a secure migration facility, which allows you to export and import your notes without having to compromise the sanctity of your data. Word of advice, keep your passphrase long and secret. May encryption protect us all!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vault Notes at none against PutApp's 1. Vault Notes also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). PutApp's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
