Simply Things vs NanoPad

Simply Things is a minimal todo list for people who want to capture tasks quickly, stay focused, and keep daily planning light. No project-management noise. No crowded dashboards. Just a clean place for the Things you need to do, with the Apple-platform details you expect. WHAT MAKES IT SIMPLE - Fast capture for tasks the moment they come to mind - A focused list that keeps today's work readable - Pin important Things so they stay at the top - Reorder and rename Things as your day changes - Widgets that show your pinned Thing and the rest of your list - iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Keyboard shortcuts for fast iPad and Mac workflows BUILT FOR FEWER DISTRACTIONS Simply Things is designed to stay out of the way. It gives you enough structure to keep your tasks clear without turning your personal todo list into another system to manage. If you like low-clutter planning, quick capture, and a task manager that feels native on Apple devices, Simply Things is built for you. EARLY BIRD ACCESS Simply Things is still growing. A subscription tier is planned for later, and current Early Bird users keep access to future Simply Things features. Have feedback or a feature request? I read every message: hello@simplythings.app

NanoPad is a quiet place to catch a thought, keep a checklist, and save a useful link. Notes, tasks, and URLs stay connected: write in a note, then find the task or link in its own view. WRITE YOUR WAY Use Markdown or the formatting toolbar for headings, lists, checkboxes, tables, links, and images. Search across your notes, return to recently opened work, and export your writing as Markdown, plain text, or PDF. KEEP YOUR NOTES TOGETHER Your notes are stored on your device and sync through your personal iCloud account when available. Share text or a web page to NanoPad from other apps. START FREE, UNLOCK WHEN YOU NEED MORE Free includes five fully editable personal notes, plus iCloud sync and export. If you have more than five notes after a trial or purchase ends, every note stays visible, searchable, copyable, and exportable; the first five remain editable. NanoPad Lifetime is one in-app purchase for unlimited editable notes and every available theme, font, and paper style. You can choose a free 7-day trial of the full app first. It requires no payment and does not renew automatically. When the trial ends, paid features lock unless you buy Lifetime; your writing stays yours. On Mac, the same App Store purchase also unlocks sticky note windows, Focus Writing, and linked Markdown folders.
