Quicks vs Decoy

Quicks is an app built for one thing: writing down what comes to mind, right away. You can start typing as soon as you open it, with no titles to add or folders to sort into. It doesn't have many features, but that lets you focus on capturing. Capture instantly: You can start typing as soon as you launch the app, and pressing Return saves it. The input field clears when you save, so you can keep capturing as ideas keep coming. Capture from Apple Watch: Just speak to your Apple Watch to capture. There's no need to take out your iPhone. Capture from Mac: On Mac, press ⌘N to go to the input field and capture using only your keyboard. Hover over an item to show the edit and delete buttons. iCloud sync: Everything you capture syncs via iCloud, so you see the same list on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Tap to copy: Tap an item to copy its text. It's handy for searching a keyword that caught your attention or pasting text into a message. Organize later: You can add to your ideas later, or give them emoji icons so they're easy to tell apart. On iPhone, touch and hold to reorder and swipe to edit or delete, so you can keep what matters most at the top. When to use it: Capture ideas that come to you on a walk or after a shower, keywords that catch your attention in a conversation or a book, and plans or shopping items you suddenly remember. You can also keep text and contact details you use again and again. Dark Mode and VoiceOver: Both are supported. Keyboard shortcuts on Mac: ⌘N: Go to the input field / Esc: Finish typing In the edit screen: ⌘S: Save / Esc: Cancel

The iPhone's own Notes app can't live on your Lock Screen. Decoy can, and nobody else can read it. Appointments, medication, errands you'd rather not explain. The Lock Screen is the surface you glance at most, and it's also the one other people see most. So some things never made it there. While your phone is locked, Decoy looks like a blank card, or whatever text you chose in advance. The moment Face ID passes, your real notes appear. ■ Made for ・Writing things down and then never looking at them again ・Living or working around people who glance at your screen ・Appointments and errands you'd rather keep to yourself ■ What it does ・Works as a to-do list, or as plain notes ・Reminders at the time you set ・Repeats daily, on weekdays, weekly, monthly ・Separate lists for separate parts of your life (Pro) ■ How it's built ・No ads ・Everything stays on your device by default. iCloud sync is there if you want it ・No accounts, no sign-in A note on what this is not: once Face ID or your passcode has been entered, anyone holding your phone can read your notes. Decoy hides things from the people around you, not from someone with your unlocked phone. Keep passwords and PINs in a dedicated password manager. Decoy Pro is a one-time purchase. It removes the note limit and adds per-note reminders, separate lists, and control over how things look while locked.
