The Stack vs 100 Notes Studio

The Stack is a different take on To-Do List management. It favours simplicity, and encourages easy capture of your thoughts ("notes to self") as you have them. It uses a single list of simple text-based notes, organised using #hashtags.

100 Notes Studio is a private, offline workspace for handwriting, typed notes, PDF markup, page-attached audio recordings and study. WRITE WITH CHARACTER 29 distinct pens and brushes — fountain pen, calligraphy, fude brush, technical pen, watercolor wash, charcoal, mechanical pencil (2B/4B/6B) and more — each with its own texture and stroke response. Pressure and tilt shape supported strokes, while palm rejection helps prevent stray marks. Pixel, whole-stroke, and precision erasers handle corrections. Use the lasso to move, scale, copy, or delete strokes, plus a ruler, eight shape tools, and a laser pointer for presentations. 100 DISTINCT NOTEBOOK STYLES Each Studio Style has its own cover, paper structure, color palette, dividers, stamps or stickers, toolbar accent, and widget appearance. The collection includes minimal, linen, Japanese grid, academic, engineering, music, meeting, research, planner, travel, wellness, recipe, creative, and dark-paper systems. Browse and preview all 100 styles before choosing one.
