Rote vs BIFF

We believe that taking notes should not be a burden that adds pressure; it should be as easy and purposeless as posting on a social media timeline. Whether it's capturing interesting inspirations, recording daily snippets, or arranging simple to-do lists, you can jot down notes effortlessly. At the same time, Rote will not become the "digital cage" that confines you. The content you write should not be locked down by any form or tool. In Rote, you can record, share, and even fully export all your notes in any posture. You have absolute sovereignty over your data, with the freedom to come and go, and say goodbye to data bondage forever! We even provide a self-hosted solution. Just rely on the mirrors and scripts we provide, and you can quickly set up and host your own Rote, achieving absolute data sovereignty (Data Sovereignty)! Rote also has a super cool feature - public notes. You can choose to make any of your notes public, whether it's a single share or a personal homepage, allowing anyone to see the content you want to share, just like a public "personal social media timeline." Geek mode: Private circle! If combined with self-hosting and registration restrictions, you can even create a customized version of a social media timeline for personal use or sharing with a few friends! I personally also place a high priority on recording efficiency! With shortcuts, you can quickly record after copying a piece of text or an image with a single click. As we said, we don't want note-taking to be stressful, and we are shortening the path to recording to the extreme. In addition to the above, there's more! - Multi-platform synchronization, PWA experience to the max: In addition to the app, we also have a web version, allowing you to use Rote on any platform. - Thanks to Rote's excellent PWA configuration, you can still enjoy a smooth experience close to the native app even without installing the app! - Desktop component family: Including recent notes, random reviews, and heatmaps, making your note stream always jump on the desktop. - Open-source repository gateway: Welcome to visit the open-source repository for Rote self-hosting, let's build together!

BIFF is a behavior-aware planner with receipts. The free plan lets you schedule up to 5 task blocks per day. BIFF Plus is an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks unlimited daily task blocks when five is not enough. BIFF tracks the gap between what you planned and what you actually did, then adapts future scheduling around your real patterns. The live scoring path stays deterministic and inspectable, so recommendations can explain themselves instead of feeling random. BIFF is not a generic calendar. It notices overloaded days, fake morning plans, repeat misses, and the slots you keep ignoring. It keeps score, surfaces the pattern, and lets you edit everything manually. Free BIFF includes: • planning up to 5 task blocks per day • manual tasks, recurring tasks, and work schedule setup • task instances with done, snooze, skip, and reschedule tracking • planner and receipts views with behavior-aware recommendations • explanation text and score breakdowns for optimizer moves • weekly recap and behavior stats built from actual task history BIFF Plus includes: • unlimited daily task blocks • Apple-managed purchase, cancellation, and restore BIFF does not use an LLM in the live scheduling loop. Scheduling remains deterministic. Future model work is still shadow-only, and the current product logic is heuristic-first and fully explainable.
