Useless Notes is a creative note-taking app that lets you capture ideas in an infinite, freeform canvas environment. Instead of traditional lists, you can add text notes, links with previews as colorful cards that can be positioned and scattered anywhere on the canvas. The app embraces a playful, casual approach to organizing thoughtsβcards appear at random positions and angles, giving your notes a natural, organic feel. You can delete notes with a fun burning animation, filter by different types of content, and search through your notes when you need to find something specific. It's perfect for anyone who wants a more visual and less structured way to capture thoughts, ideas, and inspiration without the constraints of traditional note-taking apps.
LifeHUD

I created LifeHUD because I wanted a daily planning tool that felt lightweight, visual, and easy to use. Many planning apps felt too complex for everyday life, so LifeHUD focuses on the essentials: what you need to do, what you have completed, and what helps you feel steady throughout the day. LifeHUD is designed to be a dashboard for daily life: Simple enough to open quickly, useful enough to check often, and personal enough to make your routine feel your own. Plan Your Day Create simple to-do lists and keep track of what needs to be done next. To manage a task, press and hold on a list item, then release to open the options menu. From there, you can edit the item, set it to repeat, or adjust its schedule. Tasks can be repeated daily or scheduled for specific days of the week by holding down on the repeat icon. Move Between Days Swipe left or right on your to-do list to move between days. Use this to plan ahead for tomorrow, check what you completed yesterday, or review unfinished items from a previous day. Each morning, LifeHUD can also prompt you to add unfinished tasks from the previous day so they do not get lost. Stay Fueled LifeHUD includes friendly reminders to help you remember meals during busy days. The hunger tracker gives you a simple, game-inspired visual reminder to pause and eat before you run out of energy. It is designed for everyday routine support, not medical or dietary advice. Track Your Progress Use the progress calendar to see what you have completed over time. Your completed days appear in a visual heat map, making it easy to see your consistency build. Tap any date on the calendar to review what you completed that day. Use the Home Screen Widget: Add the LifeHUD widget to your Home Screen to see your tasks at a glance. The widget helps you quickly check what is next without opening the full app. Customize Your Dashboard Choose from built-in themes to adjust the look and feel of LifeHUD. LifeHUD Pro unlocks additional customization options so you can personalize the app more fully. LifeHUD Pro: LifeHUD Pro is available as a one-time upgrade. Pro includes: A distraction-free experience Water tracking Full color customization LifeHUD is built for people who want a simple way to plan their day, remember what matters, and see their progress over time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Useless Notes at none against LifeHUD's 1. Useless Notes also leads on iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.2). LifeHUD's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
