Blurp

Some thoughts only exist for a few seconds. Blurp is for those. Open it and it is already recording-ready. One tap starts, one tap stops. There is no project to create, no file to name, no second screen between you and the thing you were about to forget. Recordings land in a list you can actually read: the newest first, each one with its own waveform, playing the instant you touch it. Search finds them by name, or by what you said if you have turned transcripts on. FREE, AND STAYING FREE Unlimited recording. The library, playback, renaming, deleting, search, and sharing. No limits on length or number. BLURP PLUS iCloud Sync — your recordings on your other devices, through your own iCloud. Transcripts — speech to text that runs on your phone, not on a server. Widgets — Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets that open Blurp already recording. WHERE YOUR RECORDINGS LIVE On your phone. If you turn on sync they go to your own private iCloud, which we cannot read. Transcription runs on the device — audio is never uploaded to transcribe it. There is no account, because there is nothing to sign in to. Blurp does not summarise your recordings, title them for you, or rewrite them into something tidier. It records what you said and gives it back.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pomodoro at none against Blurp's 2. Pomodoro also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). Blurp's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price there is nothing between them.
