Stash is a notes app designed for how you actually think. Stash doesn't make you create a new document anytime you want to capture your fleeting thoughts. Instead, you can add a note faster than you can send a text. Stash doesn't store each note in disconnected silos. Instead, you can see all your thoughts in one connective thread. Stash doesn't support markdown. Instead, you can double-tap to highlight, swipe to cross off, and long press to lock with Face ID. Yeah, Stash doesn't do a lot, but it does exactly what you need it to, better than any other app out there. Terms: https://stashtosave.com/terms Privacy: https://stashtosave.com/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stash at 100% against Chronomizer's 50%. Stash also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). Chronomizer's advantage is ratings volume (33 vs 3) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chronomizer sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Stash sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Stash holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chronomizer has 33 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Chronomizer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Stash's.
Chronomizer ships an update every 4 weeks, Stash monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
