OrbNote vs Hyphen

Capture the thought first. OrbNote is a chat-style notebook designed for Apple devices. Text, images, recordings, files, and checklists can all enter the same timeline like messages. You do not need to choose a folder first or design a complete structure while an idea is still forming. Put it in Quick Jot, then organize it manually or ask AI for suggestions when the right place becomes clear. Capture like messaging Every note is a message, naturally preserving its time and context. Quick Jot Not sure where something belongs? Capture it first and organize it later. AI organization · Pro AI can suggest a suitable group and Thread and explain why. Accept or ignore each suggestion, or explicitly enable automatic organization. Text, images, audio, and files Keep different types of content in the same context. Pro includes recording transcription and search across image text (OCR), attachments, and full article text. Across Apple devices Capture on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, and keep everything in sync with your own iCloud account. Local-first Regular notes are stored on your devices first, with no separate OrbNote content account required. AI remains optional and processes only the content needed when you use an AI feature. Privacy and control Protect important Threads with a password (Pro) and let time-sensitive messages expire automatically (Pro). Export notes as Markdown with original attachments.

Hyphen is a quiet place for the details you would otherwise lose. Write a sentence, list, quotation, decision, observation, or full page. Every note belongs to its day, so you can move naturally through time and return by date, month, year, Chronicle, or search. WRITE WITHOUT FRICTION Capture a quick thought in place. Expand into the full editor when the thought becomes something larger. MARKDOWN MADE FOR IPHONE Use headings, emphasis, lists, checklists, quotations, links, and code without hunting through the iOS keyboard for punctuation. SEE YOUR DAYS TAKE SHAPE Move naturally between Day, Month, and Year, and view time as a quiet record of activity. Hyphen shows continuity without turning your writing into a streak game. FIND WHAT YOU WROTE Search your writing, browse Chronicle, and move directly back to the day where a thought belongs.
