Read full description

The simplest notes, focused on today. Stream keeps your notes not in folders, but in a stream of days. Write today, then flick back through the days that have flowed by. • Needle scrubber — one bar, one day. A single drag skims through your past days and jumps straight to any date. • Checklists & markdown — bold, bullets, and checkboxes saved as plain text. • Show on Lock Screen — pin notes and to-dos as a Live Activity and check them off right there. • Lock Screen control — open Stream instantly from a Lock Screen button. • Tags & filters — follow a single stream with one #tag. • Markdown export / import — your data is always yours, in plain text. All notes are stored on your device only.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stream Note at none against Planote's 3. Stream Note also leads on ads (none vs shown). Planote's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
