Snug
Read full descriptionHide full description
Snug is a warm, private room for your mind. A place to write what you'd never say out loud: thoughts, worries, plans, the messy first draft of an idea. No one reads this. Not even us. Snug is local-first. Your notes live on your device, offline by default. Nothing leaves your phone unless you choose to turn on Sync, and when you do, everything is end-to-end encrypted, so only you can ever read it. WHY SNUG • Local-first and offline. Your notes stay on your device and are always there, even with no connection. • Optional end-to-end encrypted sync. Turn it on to keep your notes with you across devices. They're encrypted before they ever leave your phone, and we can never read them. • A calm place to write. A beautiful, distraction-free editor with Markdown, rich text, images, and voice notes. • Lock it down. Protect Snug with a PIN or Face ID. • Warm by design. Soft, cozy, and quiet. Built for thinking, not for an audience. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Most apps want your data. Snug wants you to forget it's even connected. Your words are yours: kept on your device, encrypted if they ever travel, never sold, never mined, never read. Write freely. It's just you here. snugthink.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Snug at none against Cat Keyboard's 4. Snug also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
