Karavan vs FoldNotes

Organize projects visually with Karavan – a native Kanban board app with automatic sync. Key Features • Flexible Kanban boards with customizable columns, swimlanes and lane notes – switch to compact cards when you need to see more at once • Board Backgrounds – give each board its own look with a gradient, a symbol or your own photo, in the board's color • Task IDs & Links – every task has a short ID; copy it, or share a link that opens the task straight away • Eisenhower Matrix – not sure what to tackle first? Switch any board to a 2×2 priority grid, drag tasks by effort and impact, and preview every change before it's applied – priorities you've set by hand are never silently overwritten • Subtasks – break any task into a checklist, track progress right on the card, and let Karavan suggest moving a task to Finished once everything's checked off • Attachments – attach photos and files to any task, and preview them with Quick Look • Up Next – see your most urgent and high-priority tasks across every project in one place, and jump straight to the board • Undo & Redo, plus a full Change Log of every change with one-tap revert • Powerful search – find any task instantly; it scrolls into view and highlights itself so you never lose track • Custom notification time per task, independent of its due date • Task priorities, due dates, auto-archive, and overdue/due-soon warnings • Configurable Finished Columns – decide exactly which columns count as done, not just the last one • Board templates – use the built-ins, customize them to fit your workflow, or build your own from scratch • Custom Project Icons – drag your own photo onto a project, or pick one from Photos or Files, and it replaces the icon everywhere the project shows up • Pin your favorite projects and give each one its own color for quick recognition • Customizable task types – 19 built-in types or create your own with custom colors and icons from the full SF Symbols library (6,900+ icons) • Built-in Pomodoro timer – start a Focus Session with a tap; the timer appears on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Markdown support in task descriptions with live preview • Per-board filters and sorting that persist across sessions • Drag and drop, swipe between columns, and reorder with a tap – navigate your board however feels natural • Automatic sync across all your devices – works offline, syncs when you're back online Perfect For: Software developers, event planners, homeowners, students, and anyone who wants visual project management without the complexity.

Some notes are short. Others grow into chapters, plans and running logs you scroll past a hundred times. FoldNotes lets you fold the finished parts away, so a long note stays as small as the part you are actually working on. Every note is a plain Markdown file. No database, no proprietary format, no export step. Your notes sit in iCloud Drive or on your device, and any other app can open them, today or in ten years. It is also a real iOS app, written in Swift. Not a web page in a wrapper. It opens instantly, works offline, handles a hardware keyboard properly, and does not sit in the background eating your battery. FOLD ANYTHING • Collapse any heading or list item and everything beneath it folds away • Hoist a section to work on it alone, with everything else out of sight • Task counts stay on the folded heading, so you can see what is left without unfolding WRITTEN FOR MARKDOWN • Live styling as you type — headings, lists, quotes, code, links • Six heading levels, and GFM tables with a real table editor • Code blocks with syntax highlighting • Wiki-links [[like this]], with previews and automatic backlinks • Nested tags TASKS WHERE YOU WROTE THEM • Four states: to do, in progress, done and cancelled • Due dates and priorities written inline, in plain text • Assign them to a project and add context and comments • Counts roll up to the section above them BUILT FOR IPAD • Library, notes and editor side by side • Hardware keyboard shortcuts throughout • An inspector with outline, tasks, references, properties and a note graph • Scan printed text straight into a note with the camera FIND ANYTHING • Search every note, including regular expressions • Saved queries and database views across your whole collection • Daily notes with a calendar COMING FROM ANOTHER APP • Import from Bear or Obsidian in a tap • Or simply point FoldNotes at the Markdown files you already have MAKE IT YOURS • Light and dark themes, including Nord, Dracula and Catppuccin • Choose your body, heading and code fonts • Paragraph focus, sentence focus and typewriter scrolling Folding is not a formatting trick. A long document asks you to hold every section in your head at once; folding lets you put the finished ones down. That is the whole idea, and everything else here is built around it. Your notes will outlive this app, and every app like it. That is rather the point.
