Purnote

Notes you actually own. Purnote keeps every note as a plain Markdown file in your own iCloud Drive โ no database, no proprietary format, no lock-in. Every note is an ordinary .md file in a folder called purnote, so you can open, edit, search, back up or move your notes with any tool you like โ on your Mac, in any text editor, forever. Write a note on your phone and it is on your Mac a moment later. Edit it on your Mac and it changes on your phone while you are looking at it. If you ever stop using Purnote, you still have your notes. That is the whole idea. โข Free โ no subscription, no ads, no accounts โข Plain Markdown files, stored in iCloud Drive where you can see them โข Share from any app into Purnote โ save a post or link as a note, in the folder you choose โข Organise notes in folders, with #tags and Smart Folders โข Add photos to a note โ saved as plain files beside it, never locked in โข Create tables from the formatting bar โข Drag a note onto a folder to move it โข Formatting buttons above the keyboard โ headings, bold, italic, lists, checklists, quotes, links โ so you do not need to know Markdown to write it โข Notes are named after their first line, so the folder makes sense on your Mac โข Rendered notes with headings, tables, task lists and code blocks โข Full text search across every note โข Works without iCloud too, keeping notes on this iPhone Purnote collects nothing. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no servers other than your own iCloud.

Verdict
Purnote and Commits are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters โ price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them โ neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
