Write now, organize later. Fragments is a minimal note-taking app designed to capture your everyday thoughts the exact moment they happen. A sudden flash of inspiration, an insight from a book, a phrase that comes to mind on a walk. Or even your child's funny little quotes. Capture those fleeting thoughts instantly, before you lose them while looking for a folder or creating a new note. Once you finish writing, the screen returns to a clean, blank slate, always ready for your next thought. It simply exists as a quiet place to ensure you never let an important note slip away. ■ Basic Features (Free) ・ Instant Capture: The keyboard pops up the moment you open the app. The entry screen is completely ad-free for all users, allowing you to start typing instantly. ・ Reliable Auto-Save: Your typing is recorded constantly. Even if the app closes unexpectedly, your unfinished notes will never be lost. ・ Simple Timeline & Quick Trash: Notes are stacked chronologically for easy review. In the detail view, you can quickly discard unwanted notes into the Trash and smoothly swipe to the next one. (Save unlimited fragments for free). ・ Folders: Create up to 3 folders to categorize your notes. ・ iCloud Sync: Notes are automatically stored safely in iCloud. Seamlessly carry over your data when changing devices. ・ Studio: A unique workspace where you can bring your saved notes onto the screen and physically arrange them like puzzle pieces to build new texts. ■ Fragments Pro (One-Time Purchase) Unlock full functionality and remove all remaining ads to tailor the tool perfectly to your needs. ・ Completely Ad-Free: All in-app ads (including Library and Studio) are completely removed, providing a perfectly quiet space. ・ Privacy Lock (New): Secure your private thoughts with Face ID / Touch ID. The privacy shield activates automatically to protect your notes from prying eyes. ・ Unlimited Folders: The 3-folder limit is removed. Create unlimited folders to categorize and sort your accumulated notes by project or purpose. ・ Premium Themes: Unlock 12 additional carefully curated, calming colors, allowing you to customize the entire app from a total of 15 beautiful palettes. ・ Premium App Icons: Personalize your home screen by choosing from a selection of exclusive icon designs. ・ Advanced Export: Easily export your accumulated notes in bulk as .zip, .txt, or .csv files for smooth data integration with your PC or other tools.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TypewriterDiary at none against Fragments's 1. TypewriterDiary also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (18.5 vs 26.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
