write it down. then it disappears. at a moment you can’t predict — hours, days, weeks later — it comes back as a notification. not as a task. more like your past self tapping you on the shoulder. there’s no feed. no archive. no list to manage. everything is encrypted on your device. no servers, no accounts, no tracking. we never see what you write. one-time purchase. no ads. no subscriptions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Buzz at Free against note to self.'s $1.99. Buzz also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). note to self.'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
