Jot

Jot is a fast, minimal note-taking app built around one idea: capture now, organize later. Most note apps force you to decide where something goes before you can write it down. Jot flips that. New notes land in your main feed by default, no folder required, no decision needed. Organize them into categories when you have the time and mental space. Perfect for: β’ Quick notes and ideas - tap +, type, done. Out of your head in seconds. β’ Grocery & shopping lists - group items by store, check things off as you go. β’ Journaling - automatic timestamps on every note, toggle on or off whenever you need them. β’ To-do lists - simple checklists for tasks, errands, and anything you need to remember. β’ Custom categories - create your own with a name and emoji to organize everything your way. Your notes stay yours. No accounts. No social features. No unnecessary data collection. Just a simple place to jot things down.
Daily Checklist

Routine is a private, focused checklist for the tasks you repeatβand the occasional task you need to do once. Create a task, add one or more schedules, and see the items due today in time order. Check off a task when you complete it; that checkmark applies only to that scheduled occurrence, so a repeating task is ready to complete again the next day. Each occurrence is tracked independently, so checking off one task never marks another one done. FEATURES β’ Schedule tasks every day, on weekdays or weekends, on selected days of the week, on specific days of the month, or just once β’ Add multiple times and schedules to the same task β’ Set multiple reminders: at the task time or 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes beforehand β’ See today's routine at a glance, with current and past items visually distinguished β’ Mark scheduled occurrences complete from the app or Home Screen widget β’ Add optional details to tasks β’ Pin important tasks, search by title or details, and sort the full task list β’ Pause a task without deleting it β’ Preview the Home Screen widget and choose its text size, how much task history to show, and whether to show descriptions β’ Use small, medium, large, circular, or rectangular widgets Your tasks and completion status are stored on your device. Routine is designed to stay simple, fast, and private.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Daily Checklist at 2 against Jot's β. Jot's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
