Make room for your thoughts. Muun brings your written notes, voice recordings, and next steps into one calm workspace. Capture an idea before it disappears, give it a home, and return to it when you need it. WRITE OR SPEAK Start a written note or record your voice with speech transcription. Keep the original recording alongside your note and listen again whenever you like. A HOME FOR EVERY IDEA Organize notes into folders, add hashtags, pin the ones that matter, and search your library. Archive thoughts for later or restore a note from Recently Deleted. SEE THE CONNECTIONS Link related notes, explore topic groups and a visual connection graph, or browse your thoughts on a timeline. SMALL STEPS, MADE CLEAR Keep checklists inside your notes and see unfinished items in Today. Review suggested tasks and optionally add scheduled steps to your calendar. ASK YOUR NOTES Find answers and create weekly summaries using an available on-device model. You can also connect your own supported provider API key in Settings. Model availability varies by device and language; external providers may charge for use. YOUR NOTES, YOUR PACE Choose light, dark, or system appearance. Muun follows your preferred supported device language: English or Turkish. Export notes as Markdown files. Notes, folders, and tasks sync through your private iCloud database when iCloud is available; audio recordings stay on the device where they were made. Speech recognition runs on the device when supported; otherwise Apple's speech service may process audio. If you connect an external AI provider, relevant note text is sent to that provider for answers and summaries. A little less noise. A little more room to think.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Muun at none against SimpleMind's 1. SimpleMind's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
