Read full descriptionHide full description
I kept opening my notes app to jot down one quick thing and getting hit with folders, tags, and a pile of old notes I forgot to delete. I just wanted a pad of paper. So I made one. Tearpad opens straight to today's page. Cursor's already blinking, so you just write. There's no title to fill in, nothing to file, no place to put it. When tomorrow rolls around, it turns to a clean page on its own. Yesterday's is one swipe back, curling away like a real notebook. That's really the whole thing. It's for the notes you'd scribble on a sticky and throw out later. A phone number, a grocery list, the two things you have to do before lunch. Stuff that doesn't need a filing system. What you get: โข Opens to today every single time โข A fresh page shows up on its own, so you're never staring at last week's leftovers โข Swipe to flip back through your old pages โข Checklists, bullets, and numbered lists, right there in the text โข A few paper colors, textures, and typefaces if you want to make it yours โข No account, no sign in, nothing to set up If you like it, there's one optional purchase that unlocks the extras. It's a one time thing. I'm not going to charge you every month for a notepad.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Tearpad at daily against Simple Memo Matelial's every 4 days. Simple Memo Matelial's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
