A Day
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tired of your camera roll being a messy drawer of things you don't need? Receipts, parking spots, Wi-Fi passwords, and locker numbers don't belong next to your memories. Meet A Day, the self-clearing visual notepad. A Day is a simple tool built for one purpose: to hold your temporary visual notes, and then get out of the way. Capture a quick "snap" of anything you need to remember right now, but not forever. How it works: - A Clean Slate: Every snap you take disappears automatically after 24 hours. - Just 24: A simple 24-item limit keeps things light and manageable. - Stress-Free Utility: Use it for quick notes, reminders, or anything you'll be done with by tomorrow. Stop cluttering your gallery. Start your day fresh.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: A Day at none against Hand's shown. A Day also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
