You can also create powerful "folders" that update themselves based on your categories or keywords. With Recall, you can: Capture Daily Notes Effortlessly: Every day, you begin with a blank slate, ready to note down anything that comes to mind. Organize Without Thinking: Use a simple colon after the first word (e.g., "Home: Water the plants") to instantly categorize your notes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CellNotes at none against Recall's 4. CellNotes also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Recall's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
