Sheet Notes vs Marko

Sheet Notes: Notes in a Grid Sheet Notes is a flexible workspace for people who find linear documents too restrictive and spreadsheets too rigid. It organizes your ideas into a grid where every cell acts as a Markdown-ready canvas. How it works: * Grid Layout: Move beyond lists. Structure projects and data in a layout that follows your thought process. * Full Markdown: Use rich text, headers, code blocks, and images within any cell. * Seamless Sync: Works across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud, with an optional GitHub sync for version control and sync to other platforms like Windows. * Privacy First: Your data stays on your device. It’s fast, works offline, and doesn’t track you. * Customization: Choose from themes like Midnight or Sand, or build your own to suit your workflow. It’s a simple, non-linear way to keep your research, writing, and planning organized without the overhead of a complex database.

Marko is a fast, native Markdown viewer for iPhone and iPad. Open any .md file and read it the way it was meant to look, with real typography, syntax-highlighted code, GFM tables and task lists, Mermaid diagrams, and KaTeX math. Everything renders on your device with no network access, so your documents never leave it. Marko is a viewer, not an editor. It never changes your files. Open Markdown straight from the Files app, or share it in from Mail, Safari, or any other app, and read it full-screen with an outline, find in page, and adjustable text size. It is built for the Markdown you didn't write by hand, too: the .md that AI assistants and coding agents produce, generated READMEs, and agent output.
