Notch Reminders
Read full descriptionHide full description
Notch is a calm home for the reminders you already have. It works directly with the Reminders app, so your lists, your iCloud sync, Siri and your Apple Watch all keep working exactly as before. There is no new account and no second database: Notch simply shows your tasks more clearly. ONE CLEAN LINE PER TASK Each task sits on warm paper with its date and a single Complete button beneath it. Long links, email references and pasted URLs become small, readable link marks instead of a wall of characters. Tap a task for its details; press and hold for everything else. WRITE IT THE WAY YOU'D SAY IT "Send the outline tomorrow at 2pm." "Call the dentist next Tuesday." "Check the oven in 20 minutes." Notch reads the date, the time, the priority (!high) and the list (#Work) out of what you type, and leaves the title clean. EVERYTHING WITHIN REACH Search and the task field float over your list, so the next task is always one thumb away. Today, Upcoming, All and Completed are a tap apart. On iPad, your lists and tasks sit side by side. NOTIFICATIONS THAT OPEN NOTCH Notch delivers its own alerts for due tasks, so tapping one brings you straight to the task. MADE TO BE LOOKED AT ALL DAY Paper or bright ground, light or dark, eight muted accents and four text sizes that follow your system's Dynamic Type, with serif headings and fine rules. Home Screen widgets in three sizes let you check tasks off without opening the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything is parsed on your device. Notch makes no network requests, collects no data and needs no account. Your tasks stay in your own iCloud Reminders. Free on iPhone and iPad.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Notch Reminders at weekly against Funnel's every 6 weeks. Notch Reminders also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
