Your best ideas don't wait. Neither should you. Thought Sweep is your digital memory — a place where every thought, idea, to-do, and reminder lives so nothing important gets lost. Most apps make you organize everything immediately. Thought Sweep works the way your brain does. Capture it now. Sort it when you're ready. CAPTURE ANYTHING IN SECONDS Type it, speak it, or dump a dozen thoughts at once with Thought Dump. Hold the mic and just talk — Thought Sweep listens, transcribes, and even picks up on the category, reminder, or to-do you meant, automatically. No folders to navigate, no system to figure out. Just get it out of your head and move on with your day. SORT IT YOUR WAY When you're ready, sweep through your unsorted thoughts like a deck of cards. Assign categories, mark to-dos, prioritize what matters. It takes seconds and keeps your mind clear. NEVER LOSE A LINK AGAIN Found something worth remembering while browsing? Share it straight into Thought Sweep from any app — Safari, Instagram, wherever you found it. It's saved before you even switch back. YOUR PERSONAL CATEGORY SYSTEM Build categories that actually reflect your life — Mindset, Health, Business Ideas, Restaurants, People you know. Your thoughts organize into a system that makes sense to you, not a template someone else built. TINDER FOR YOUR THOUGHTS Swipe through everything you've captured. Rediscover ideas you forgot. Prioritize thoughts that still matter. Delete what doesn't. It's the most satisfying way to engage with your own mind. YOUR MOST IMPORTANT THOUGHTS, FRONT AND CENTER Thought Sweep quietly surfaces what's worth acting on and resurfaces older ideas at the right moment — so nothing important gets buried and forgotten in the pile. TO-DOS WITH PRIORITY TIERS Stop letting important tasks get buried. Mark anything as High, Low, or Parked. Your to-do list stays organized without the overwhelm. REMEMBER THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE Create people categories for mentors, friends, colleagues, family. Store thoughts, advice, and ideas connected to the people that matter. Never forget what someone told you. REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY REMIND YOU Set a one-time or recurring reminder in seconds — even by voice. Thought Sweep pushes it right to your lock screen when it matters. BUILT FOR BUSY, FAST-MOVING MINDS Thought Sweep is designed for people who think fast, generate ideas constantly, and need a system that keeps up — without slowing them down. Perfect for entrepreneurs, students, creatives, and anyone who has ever lost a great idea because they had nowhere to put it. Capture everything. Lose nothing. Remember what matters.

Everything you save. Ready when you need it. Stuff is a private home for your notes, documents, screenshots, links and voice recordings across iPhone, iPad and Mac. Save something now, find it when it matters, and put it to work without starting from scratch. SAVE FIRST. KEEP MOVING. Capture text, images, PDFs, Word documents, links, files and voice notes. Paste, drag, share, pick from Photos or Files, use Shortcuts and widgets, or capture from the Mac menu bar. Stuff saves the original before processing it in the background. FIND WHAT YOU NEED. Quick Find brings items, templates and saved facts into one search, with actions to open or copy a result. On Mac, press Command-K to get there without breaking your flow. Search beyond filenames: find words in documents, images, scans and voice transcripts. Use natural language or exact text, filter your library, and see what matched. MAKE YOUR SPACE FEEL LIKE YOURS. Choose Paper, Ocean, Universe or Worlds. Explore a library of document previews, browse grouped stacks, and keep each project, client or collection together in Spaces. Pin favorites and switch views to suit the way you work. COPY THE DETAIL. SKIP THE DIGGING. Quick Copy keeps useful details within reach: names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, dates, links and references. Pin the values you use often, return to recent copies, and check the source before you use a detail. You stay in control of what gets copied or pasted. WRITE ONCE. REPLY FASTER. Turn repeated replies into templates with typed blanks. Fill from Stuff suggests details from your saved content, with sources you can check. Review the completed reply, then copy or share it. Write Markdown notes, preview documents, present PDFs, or turn a Space's photos into a deck. SEE HOW YOUR STUFF CONNECTS. Graph brings your items, tags and Spaces into view. Focus on a project's neighborhood to explore the connections in your library. PRIVATE AND LOCAL BY DESIGN. OCR, extraction, semantic search, embeddings, transcripts and optional local intelligence run on your device. Your library syncs through iCloud when available; downloaded models and search data stay device-local. If you enable link reading, Stuff sends only a public page address to Mobeera's reader service so the page can become searchable. It never sends capability URLs such as private shared-document links. You can turn link reading off at any time. STUFF FREE AND STUFF PRO Stuff Free includes every capture, search, sync, voice, template, Copy, Graph, preview, and presentation feature, plus one Space and up to 20 link reads per day.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Thought Sweep at none against Stuff's 2. Thought Sweep also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Stuff's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
