Thought Path is an inbox to quickly capture all your thoughts, ideas, and tasks. Easily see the output of your brain over time, on a map, or in search results. You can integrate Thought Path with Shortcuts, to automate capturing and reviewing your thoughts. Though Path is free to use indefinitely, but you will need to review and archive all your thoughts once you reach a cap of 15. Pro users can remove this limit with a subscription fee. This app is made by a sole indie developer, and that means I care about user experience, not collecting user data. All your thoughts and ideas are saved on device and synced over iCloud - nothing is ever sent anywhere else for any reason.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Thought Path at 4.4 against Today's 3.5. Thought Path also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 2). Today's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (50% vs 25%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thought Path sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Today asks for nothing beyond the download.
Thought Path holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thought Path has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Thought Path's written reviews are positive against 50% of Today's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Thought Path ships an update monthly, Today every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
