Your Notion databases, one tap away. Nutshell turns the databases you already have in Notion into a fast, focused mobile app. Tasks, groceries, habits, reading lists, projects — whatever you track in Notion, Nutshell puts it on your home screen and gets you in and out in seconds. A TAB BAR THAT'S YOURS Build your own navigation. Each tab on the bottom bar shows a list, a group of lists you pick, or every list from a database — as many or as few tabs as you want. CAPTURE IN SECONDS Add new pages with a quick-entry sheet that feels like a dedicated to-do app, not a document editor. Templates can pre-fill properties for you — a page added from your "Today" list is already dated today. LISTS THAT MATCH YOUR SETUP Filter and sort pages the way you do in Notion, and choose exactly which properties each card shows. No digging through pages to find the view you need. EDIT ON THE GO Check things off, update properties, and append quick notes to a page's content — all without waiting for Notion to load. WORKS OFFLINE Your pages are stored on your device. Changes are saved locally first and synced to Notion; if you're offline, just sync again when you're back. WIDGETS FOR ANY LIST Put any list on your home screen with customizable widgets. Tap an item to open it in Nutshell or jump straight to Notion — your choice. FREE TO TRY, PRO WHEN YOU'RE READY The free version lets you connect one Notion workspace and browse your databases. Nutshell Pro unlocks editing and quick add, home screen widgets, unlimited tabs and workspaces, and every layout — available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. --- Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula Nutshell requires a Notion account.

Point your camera at a CE certificate. Ledger does the rest. Ledger is the fastest, most private way for licensed professionals — nurses, NPs, physicians, PAs, therapists, teachers, CPAs, attorneys, EMS, and more — to keep every license, certification, and continuing-education credit current. SCAN IT. DONE. Snap a photo, pick from your library, or import PDFs. Apple Intelligence reads the title, provider, hours, completion date, and category — entirely on your device. Confidence scores flag anything worth a second look before you save. BULK IMPORT YOUR BACKLOG Select a pile of PDFs or photos and Ledger parses them while you browse. High-confidence certificates file themselves; the rest queue for a quick review. COMPLIANCE AT A GLANCE Fitness-style rings show exactly where each credential stands. One CE activity can count toward multiple licenses at once — log it once, it fills every ring it satisfies. Requirement templates prefill the rules for dozens of licenses (state RN/LPN, MD/DO CME, PA-C, NP recert, PT, pharmacist, CNA, EMS, CPA, attorney CLE, and more). REMINDERS THAT PACE YOU Not just deadline alarms. Ledger nudges you monthly when you're behind pace and stays quiet when you're on track. A context-aware dashboard headline tells you the one number that matters today. FITS YOUR BOARD'S RULES CE due on a different schedule than your license renewal? A topic with its own timeline, like suicide-prevention hours every 6 years? Ledger tracks each on its own clock. With Pro, your transcript saves to Files automatically when a CE period ends. AUDIT-READY IN ONE TAP Export a beautiful PDF transcript with your certificates embedded, or a CSV of everything. Verify licenses against official registries and stamp the date. YOUR INFORMATION STAYS PRIVATE No accounts. No servers. Your documents never leave your devices — scanning and AI run on-device, and optional sync uses your private iCloud. Ledger only sends anonymous usage counts (like "a credential was added") to help improve the app — never your name, your credentials, or your documents. Plus: home and lock screen widgets, Siri shortcuts ("Log CE in Ledger"), light/dark themes, accent colors, and full Dynamic Type support. LEDGER PRO — Free includes 2 credentials and 20 CE records. Pro unlocks unlimited credentials and records, audit-ready PDF/CSV export, and custom reminder cadences: $3.99/month, $24.99/year (7-day free trial), or $69.99 once, forever. Requirement templates are starting points from published board rules — always verify with your board.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ledger at 5.0 against Nutshell's 4.0. Ledger also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%). Nutshell's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nutshell sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Ledger sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ledger holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nutshell has 34 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Nutshell's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ledger's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
