Noted Down vs Simplio Notepad

Noted Down is a Markdown editor and note keeper boasting live preview, searches, linking of notes, and multiple file support. It is designed to hold all the notes you need in your pocket and being markdown you can just type and not worry about the formatting. The extended version of markdown in Noted Down gives you all the normal markdown stuff as well as supports for tables, code highlighting, table of contents generation and checklists as well as functions to further automate your notes. It includes local help files so you can work while offline. Although input is via simple text, a context menu can help you to insert and update in markdown and a suggestions list is at hand to help with linking and using functions. Comprehensive search and replace (including regex) is also available for each note. Editing other text files is also supported and you can use Apple’s editing tools for PDF’s and Images while in the app. Notes and files can be organised and contents searched for within the app and even edited from your computer as Noted Down will act as a web server for all your files. This app is add supported, but designed so that ads will be of minimal impact to your work flow.

A notepad that opens in one tap and then stays out of your way. If you have watched the notes app you used for years grow into a database with AI panels, sign-in screens and a sidebar of features you never asked for, Simplio Notepad is the calm alternative. It is a minimal notepad for jotting quick notes, drafting an email, capturing a meeting line or thinking out loud — no account to create, no cloud you cannot turn off, no friction between the thought and the page. Open the app and you are already in a fast text editor with the cursor blinking. Type, paste, or dictate. Markdown, simple lists and checkboxes are there when you need structure, pin and archive keep the important notes within reach, and search finds the half-remembered line in seconds. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets surface today's note at a glance, so the scratchpad you started on the train is still one tap away when you sit down at the desk. Export any note as text or PDF when you need to hand it off to a document, an email or a colleague. The interface ships in 39 languages with full VoiceOver support, and the writing app stays deliberately quiet: no ads, no analytics, no engagement loops, no nudges trying to turn a notebook into a productivity system. A simple notepad for journalers, students, meeting note-takers and anyone who wants sticky notes, voice notes and markdown notes in one place that respects their time.
