Gravity vs Tenoa

Gravity keeps all your notes in one stream, with the newest at the top. As you add more, older notes sink down the list. When one of them still matters, swipe it right and it comes back to the top. The idea comes from Andrej Karpathy's append-and-review note: write everything in one place, read back through it now and then, and move up whatever you still care about. Gravity has no folders, so there's nothing to file. Writing The cursor is waiting at the top when you open the app. Type your note and press Return twice, or tap the add button. A half-written draft stays where you left it. Rescuing and tidying Swipe right on a note to rescue it. Swipe left to archive, delete, share or copy. Archived notes have a page of their own, and deleted notes stay in Deleted Notes until you restore them or clear them out. Markdown and checklists Headings, bold, italics, lists, links and quotes show formatted in the stream. Start a line with "- [ ]" to make a checklist, then tick items off without opening the note. In the editor the formatting appears as you type, and a small bar above the keyboard adds headings, bold, lists and checklists. Everything is saved as plain Markdown text. Tags Start a note with todo:, idea:, read: or any word followed by a colon, and it gets a colour of its own. Type todo: into search to see only those notes. There's no tag manager to look after. Search Search covers every note on your phone, archived ones too, and works offline. It matches parts of words and ignores accents. Getting notes in The Home Screen widget starts a new note or pastes in whatever you last copied. You can also share text or a link from another app, and it becomes a new note at the top of the stream. Privacy Your notes are stored on your iPhone. Gravity has no accounts and no analytics, and it doesn't collect any data. If you want your notes on your other Apple devices, turn on iCloud sync; it also works with Gravity for Mac, which is sold separately. You can export everything as JSON or Markdown at any time. Looks Choose light, dark or OLED black, or follow the system, and pick from three text sizes. There's a stats page too, worked out on your phone, of course. Price You pay once. There's no subscription, no in-app purchases and no ads. Privacy policy: https://www.gravitynotes.app/privacy-policy

Tenoa is a local-first visual library. You save the things worth keeping: pages, images, videos, notes. They become plain files in a library you own, on your own devices. WHAT YOU DO WITH IT - Save from anywhere. Share to Tenoa from Safari, Instagram, or any app with a share sheet. - Browse it visually. Your library is a grid of the things you saved. - Find things again. Search across everything you have saved. - Open it anywhere. Your items are plain files. You can read them, back them up, and move them without Tenoa. NO ACCOUNT There is nothing to sign up for. You never give Tenoa an email address. Open the app and start saving. YOUR LIBRARY STAYS YOURS Tenoa has no accounts or tracking. It hosts no library, and items live on your devices. If you pair Tenoa on this device with the Tenoa desktop app, your library syncs between them peer to peer with end-to-end encryption; Tenoa-operated rendezvous servers only help your devices find each other and never see readable content. WORKS WITH YOUR COMPUTER The desktop app adds browser capture and runs AI summaries and tags on your computer. An optional cloud AI is off by default and uses only your own provider key. Searching by meaning also lives on the desktop. Pair once and everything you save on your phone appears on your desktop, and the other way around. The iPhone and iPad app also works on its own: save, browse, and search without any other device. WHAT IT COSTS This app is free. No subscription, no in-app purchases. A sample library is included so you can look around before you save anything of your own. Questions: hello@tenoa.app
