OrbNote vs DidThat

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 adds automatic transcription and search across text in images (OCR), voice transcripts, attachment names, and full article text. Across Apple devices Capture on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and keep everything in sync with your own iCloud account. With Pro, you can also record from Apple Watch. Local-first Regular notes are stored on your devices first, with no separate OrbNote content account required. AI features are optional and run only when you use them. Privacy and control Protect important Threads with a password lock (Pro) and let time-sensitive messages expire automatically (Pro). On Mac, export notes as Markdown with original attachments.

DidThat is a done list - the opposite of a to-do list. Instead of planning what you should do, you log what you already did. There are no goals to miss, no boxes left unchecked, and no failure state. You just notice what you accomplished, and the app quietly celebrates it. The idea is simple: ADHD brains and busy people massively underestimate how much they get done in a day. DidThat fixes that by giving you a place to capture it all - from "replied to an email at work" to "got out of bed" to "made lunch." Everything counts. HOW IT WORKS Tap to log what you just did. That's it. An entry goes on your list with a timestamp. Do this throughout the day and watch your count grow. At the end of the day, you'll be surprised how much was on it. FEATURES - Freeform entries — type whatever you want, no templates or predefined tasks - Optional categories — tag entries like Work, Self-Care, Home, Social, or Fun, or don't - uncategorised is fine - History — browse past days, weeks, and months to see what you did - Insights — weekly and all-time views with category breakdowns and your most active days - 6 colour themes — each with light and dark mode, follows your device setting or set manually - Home screen widgets — see your count at a glance and tap to log - Daily nudge — an optional evening notification that tells you how many things you did today (and stays silent on days you didn't log) - No zeros anywhere — if you haven't logged anything today, the app shows a friendly prompt instead of "0 things done" - iCloud sync — your entries sync across all your devices automatically DESIGNED FOR ENCOURAGEMENT DidThat is built around one principle: every interaction should feel like a small win. The count bounces when you log something. Your history shows colourful bars that grow with each entry. Days you didn't log simply don't appear - no gaps, no guilt. The insights page shows patterns without ever comparing you to yourself or setting targets. There are no streaks that break. No week-over-week comparisons. No "you did less than last week" messaging. Just your data, presented warmly, without judgment. PRICING DidThat is free to try for 5 days with full access to every feature. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks the app forever. No subscription, no ads, no tracking. PRIVACY All your data stays on your device and in your personal iCloud account. DidThat has no analytics, no third-party tracking, and no server. Your entries are yours.
