MindKit is a lightweight, modular todo and note application. When we're working, studying, or enjoying our daily life, we always focus on many things: - What will I do / learn today? - How many times have you been running / exercising this month? - Am I in good mood today? - I haven't had breakfast for days? - What should I buy next time I go to the supermarket? - How many days is mom's birthday? - Where did you spend all your money this month? - What's the progress of the books you've been reading recently? - How long have you been studying today? - Pay the credit card on the 26th of each month. Keeping todos organized, tracking daily life as well as habits, presenting elegant notes, these are all things MindKit tries to do for you. # Main functions ## Action ### Tasks What do you have to do today / tomorrow / todos?

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Mindkit at 46 against Grit's 1. Mindkit also leads on device support (4 vs 1). Grit's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mindkit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Grit sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Grit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mindkit has 46 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Mindkit ships an update every 9 days, Grit fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
