Maho Notes is a markdown-based note-taking app for people who care about their words β and want to keep them. Every note is a plain .md file on your device. No proprietary format, no vendor lock-in, no servers you don't control. Sync through your own iCloud, your own GitHub repo, or keep notes purely local β your choice. A NOTES APP THAT SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE Full multilingual support, including search across English, δΈζ (Traditional Chinese), ζ₯ζ¬θͺ (Japanese), and νκ΅μ΄ (Korean) β powered by a CJK-aware tokenizer that actually understands word boundaries in each language. Add furigana to Japanese kanji, Zhuyin to Mandarin, TΓ’i-lΓ΄ to Taiwanese, or readings to Korean β all with one simple syntax: {ζΌ’ε|γ΅γγγͺ}. THREE WAYS TO SEARCH β’ Keyword search β fast SQLite FTS5 across every note β’ Semantic search β on-device vector embeddings find ideas, not just words β’ Hybrid β both, fused into one ranked list Models run entirely on-device. Nothing about your notes leaves your hardware. WRITTEN IN MARKDOWN, RENDERED BEAUTIFULLY β’ Full CommonMark + GitHub Flavored Markdown β’ KaTeX math equations β’ Mermaid diagrams β’ Syntax-highlighted code blocks β’ Ruby annotations for any language β’ Image and asset embedding β’ Tables, task lists, footnotes ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Vaults hold collections. Collections hold notes. Drag-and-drop reordering, custom icons and colors, hierarchical sub-collections, and per-collection ordering β all stored in plain YAML you can read. SYNC THAT RESPECTS YOU β’ iCloud β seamless across your Apple devices β’ GitHub β version your notes as a private repo, sync through your own account using GitHub's official Device Flow login (no third-party server in the middle) β’ Device-only β keep everything offline Conflicts get clearly-named files (note.conflict-DeviceName.md), never silent overwrites. UNIVERSAL APP One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Optimized layouts for each: a focus-friendly stack on iPhone, a three-column workspace on iPad and Mac, with the same vault wherever you are.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MindTodo at none against Maho Notes's 3. MindTodo also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Maho Notes's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
