Jotter is the notes app that feels like your desk: sticky notes, checklists, handwriting and voice notes in one place. Tick off groceries from the Home Screen widget, or ask Siri to "add milk to Groceries in Jotter." No ads, no subscription, no account. Your notes stay on your devices and in your own iCloud. WHY JOTTER • Fast: one tap on New note, the widget or Control Center, and you are typing • Free: no subscription, no ads, nothing locked • Private: no account and no Jotter server. Notes sync through your own iCloud • Yours: export any note as a PDF or text, or every note as Markdown files CHECKLISTS THAT TICK Type [] and a space to start a checklist. Tick items off with a tap — groceries, packing lists, the ten things to do before Friday. Tap New, pick List, name it, and start adding items. HANDWRITING WITH APPLE PENCIL Write or draw on iPad with Apple Pencil, or with your finger on iPhone, on blank, lined, grid or dotted paper. The page grows as you go. Your handwriting is read on the device, so it turns up in search, and it converts to typed text with a tap. PHOTOS, SCANS AND VOICE NOTES Take photos, scan documents, record voice notes and add files right inside a note. The text in your photos and scans is searchable, and voice notes are transcribed on your device. SEARCH THAT FORGIVES Type a word or two, in any order, without worrying about capitals or accents. Jotter searches titles, text, tags, handwriting and the words inside your pictures, and shows you the sentence it found. ORGANISE LATER, OR NEVER Pin what matters. Write a #tag and it becomes a filter. Make a folder when a set of notes wants a name. Or don't: everything is always in All Notes. CAPTURE FROM ANYWHERE • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, including a list you can tick without opening Jotter • A New note button in Control Center • Siri: "Jot down in Jotter" • The Share button in any app: save a link, photo or text into a new note or one you already have SEVEN THEMES, EACH ITS OWN WORLD Classic sticky notes, Lamplight's desk lamp, Herbarium's field book, Blueprint's drafting grid, Airmail's stamps, Washi tape, and Velvet's plum and gold. Each theme changes the colours, the type, the highlighter, the checkboxes and what happens when you finish a list, and can change your app icon to match. FORGIVING, AND PRIVATE Deleted notes wait in Recently Deleted for 30 days. Lock a private note behind Face ID. Set a reminder on any note. No analytics, no ads, no tracking — Jotter has no server at all. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD A calm paper-and-ink design with a little comic-book fun around the edges. Light and dark mode, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and keyboard shortcuts on iPad, where your folders, your notes and the open note sit side by side. Jotter is free. If it earns a place on your Home Screen, you can buy the maker a coffee in Settings. It unlocks nothing, and it is entirely optional.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Copy & Paste at none against Jotter's 3. Jotter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
