Your notes are displayed chronologically, organized by the hour, making it easy to revisit your day at a glance. 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.

What did you actually do today? Not what you planned. Not what you announced. What you did. I did is a goal app built on proof. Set a goal — up to three, so the word still means something. Do one real thing toward it. Log it in ten seconds: a line of text, a photo of the thing you actually did. Then back to your life. A FLAME THAT REPAIRS Show up and it burns. Miss a day and nothing burns down — one did brings it back, and the app celebrates the comeback instead of shaming the gap. Nobody here is in the shaming business. PROOF, NOT CHECKBOXES Nothing completes with just a checkmark. Every did is evidence, and over time your goal ends up with a wall of things you really did. It is the only feed worth scrolling: yours. TOGETHER GOALS Share a goal with your person. They see the dids, they cheer them, and they can nudge you when the day is running out. Stop nagging. Start a flame. A COACH THAT LIVES ON YOUR PHONE It suggests today's smallest next action, and it runs entirely on the device. Your dids never leave it. The action stays yours — the coach only points. THE HALL OF DID Finished goals do not vanish. They go on a shelf you can look at on the days you doubt yourself. MILESTONES WORTH SHARING Thirty dids. A hundred. A finish line crossed. The card you post says what you did, not what you promised. ALSO IN THE BOX Lock-screen and home widgets that keep today's did in sight. Stickers for the posts. A camera built into the composer. Apple Health proof chips — the run attaches itself. Voice logging. Everything syncs through your private iCloud: no account, no servers of ours. WHY IT COSTS A DOLLAR $1 a week is not a paywall. It is a commitment. Free products optimise for engagement; we optimise for showing up. No ads, no data brokers, no "we miss you". Paying is the first did. WHO IT IS FOR People who do things — and people trying to become that person. If you are here because you showed up anyway, welcome. Nobody remembers the days they almost did something. We are building the app that makes sure there are fewer of those days. Every goal, one did at a time. — Subscriptions: weekly, monthly or yearly. The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial; any unused portion of a trial is forfeited when you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage and cancel in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Recall at daily against I did's fortnightly. I did's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
