here are so many note taking apps. You can find a lots of them with many advanced features. Many of them can count the words, change the color and size of characters, categorize documents by folders, synchronize with the cloud, put photos, and even recognize handwriting ... At first, I tried to create such an app. However, the impression of a friend who touched the prototype changed my mind. "I don't need so many features like this." I don't usually take notes with an app.When I use them, I'll copy to my paper notebook later so digital data will be needless after all. The only feature I need is tidying up notes more easily. Tidy up I didn't noticed it Certainly digital data does not take up space, but when it accumulates it make us feel stressed. We need tidying up. That's why I made this. It's an app for taking notes and tidying up them. I can't affirm this is a full featured note-taking app because I got rid of many features to make my app lighter. It's more like draft than note what you can take with this app is. So, I named this "DraftDog". Why "Dog"? Because doggies are cute.

Float is a to-do app with three spaces. Write everything that comes to mind into the Dump space at the bottom: groceries, ideas, someday tasks. Move what you're still deciding on up to the Think space in the middle, and what you'll focus on today to the Focus space at the top. Moving takes one drag: press, lift, and drop. When an item crosses a boundary, the edge ripples under your fingertip. โข Three spaces โ Focus, Think, Dump. Nothing moves on its own. You always decide the order. โข Drag to move โ press and hold to lift, then drop it exactly where you want. Move with a button and the boundary bounces gently as the item passes. โข Several at once โ tap to select multiple items and move them together. โข One-handed mode โ one button brings all three spaces down to your thumb. โข Double-tap to complete โ a hand-drawn line strikes through and the item goes to the archive. Deleted by mistake? Undo right away. โข Repeat reminders โ things you can't forget come back every 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 3 hours. Complete the item and the reminder stops. โข Backup and restore โ export and import a file. Free for everyone. โข Themes โ nine colors. The app icon can match your theme. Premium (one-time purchase) unlocks eight themes and expands dump pages from 3 to 7. Everything else is free. No account, no ads, no tracking. Your data stays on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Float at every 2 days against DraftDog's weekly. DraftDog's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
