Something reminds you of somebody. Tell them. Each note is a tbf: one short sentence that opens tbf, and ends however you like, signed with your name. tbf, you drove three hours to sit with my mum. tbf, you learned to text for me. tbf, you have never once let the bins win. Send a little thank you to your partner, your sister, your dad, your best friend or the flatmate of nine years. Add a photo if you like. It takes about nine seconds. They keep it. You keep the ones they send you. Every note from one person sits together on its own page, so the good stuff is still there next year. Send one to somebody who does not have the app yet. Pick them from your contacts and they get it in a text. They read it straight away, and when they get the app you are paired. Each pair is private to the two of you. There is no feed and no likes. Group cards for birthdays, leaving dos, weddings and graduations. Start one, send the link, and everybody writes a note in their browser without installing anything. It opens on the day. Share the best ones. When the person who wrote it allows it, a tbf can go out as a card with its own link. Your first ten notes, your first six photos and your first person are free and stay free, and so is everything already written. Past that, one plan covers everything: tbf, one month: renews monthly. tbf, one year: renews yearly. Prices are shown in the app in your own currency before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A subscription renews unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MyCentsys Pro at none against tbf's 2. MyCentsys Pro also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). tbf's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
