The Task Board is a brand new visual approach to organizing to do lists and notes. This is where you quickly note down and arrange your day-to-day tasks and easily mark them done. You enter your pending tasks on the "ToDo" tab and swipe-off all the finished ones to the "Done" tab. You can intuitively swipe the items back and forth between the "ToDo" and "Done" tabs. The board gives you a bird's eye view of all the items in one quick glance. It gives you a good idea of how many things are pending and how they're grouped. You can re-group and re-arrange the items as and when you like. The smooth scroll and pan gives you the feel of a frictionless whiteboard that stretches quite a bit with central area in focus. You can move the board around and bring any group of items in focus. You can also search for an item which brings the item in the central area of focus. To import a list of text items from any other app, simply copy it there and paste it to the task board. Similarly to do a backup of all the items on the board, select all, copy and paste it in any other app you like. You can do occasional cleanups by selecting and trashing the items. The undo button is helpful if you accidentally do something unintentionally. The task board works in both landscape and portrait orientations. These are some of the things you can do with this task board: - quick one-touch note taking - unlimited board space - swipe-off between the boards/tabs - easy scroll - smooth move around - search - arrange all - arrange related (group) - select on board - copy from board - paste on board - delete from board - zoom in and out with a pinch gesture - undo Enjoy managing your never ending list of day-to-day tasks.

You write things down and still forget them. Fridge fixes that by putting your note where you cannot miss it — on your lock screen. Not in an app you have to remember to open. Not in a widget you have to go looking for. The first thing you see, every single time you pick up your phone. YOUR LOCK SCREEN IS A FRIDGE DOOR That is the surface households already use for the note that must not be missed. Shopping list. Gym bag. Call the dentist. Stick it there and it does its job on its own. TICK THINGS OFF WITHOUT UNLOCKING Tap a checkbox straight from the lock screen. No Face ID, no app launch, and no losing five minutes to social media on the way in. IT DOES NOT DISAPPEAR The big note is a Live Activity, and iOS ends those after about eight hours — a limit every app in this category runs into. Fridge ships a lock screen widget that never expires. Add it under your clock (the app shows you how, once) and your note is always there. Fridge also re-arms the big note every time you open the app, tick a box or edit a line. In the worst case your note gets smaller. It does not vanish. YOU DECIDE WHAT APPEARS WHERE • Live note, Widget only, or Off — one tap • Hide it in the Dynamic Island, so taps meant for other apps stop landing here • Widget-only mode keeps it off your Apple Watch entirely • Fridge never sends you a notification. Not one. MAKE IT YOURS Start with three clean designs, free. Unlock 23 more with Plus — legal pad, kraft, chalkboard, blueprint, polaroid, receipt, graph paper, midnight and more. They look like real paper, not colour swatches. Handwriting fonts, washi tape, magnets, push pins and photo corners. DRAW, AND STICK THINGS ON Pen, marker, pencil — and a proper eraser. Drop in a photo and Fridge lifts the subject out of its background automatically, on your phone. Photos stay pinned where you put them, so drawing on top never drags them around. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN TOO Small, medium and large widgets. The medium and large ones are tickable. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No account. No sign-in. No analytics, no trackers, no third-party SDKs of any kind. Background removal runs on your device. There is no server for your notes to go to. FRIDGE PLUS Try everything free for 7 days — no card, no commitment. After that, keep it your way: monthly, yearly (the best value), or pay once for lifetime with no subscription at all. Plus unlocks all 26 designs, unlimited notes, unlimited background-removed photos, and removes the small Fridge mark. Everything that makes Fridge work stays free: the lock screen note, the checkboxes, the widgets, and full control over what appears where. Requires iOS 18. iPhone only. — Fridge Plus subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Task Board at none against Fridge's 3. The Task Board also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Fridge's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
