Sheet Notes vs Scrap Paper Pro

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.

Scrap paper, not a filing system. Scrap Paper Pro is one page. It opens where you left off, at the bottom, with the keyboard already up. There are no notebooks, no folders, no titles, no tags, and nothing to name. You write the thing down and get on with your day. ONE PAGE, EVERYWHERE • One canvas. Everything you jot lands on the same page, in order. Nothing to file, nothing to lose. • Always at the bottom. The app opens with the cursor where you stopped writing. • Syncs privately. Your page follows you across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch through your own iCloud account. • Capture without opening it. A Home Screen widget shows your latest lines and drops you into the canvas. A Lock Screen widget starts dictation in one tap. Siri takes a thought hands-free. • Apple Watch. Dictate a line from your wrist and it appears on the page. • Swipe to undo. A horizontal swipe undoes and redoes by thought, not by character. • Two typefaces, three appearances, one size slider. That is the entire settings screen. TURN NOTES INTO ACTIONS On devices with Apple Intelligence, tap Scan for Actions and your page is read on-device to find the things you meant to do: • "coffee with Sam Thursday at 10" becomes a Calendar event at the right time • "add a reminder to get toilet paper" becomes a reminder that says get toilet paper • "text Sam that I'm going to be home late" opens Messages to the right person with the message already written • "buy printer ink from amazon" opens Amazon searching for it • Addresses open in Maps, links open in Safari, numbers dial You choose which suggestions to keep, and nothing happens until you say so. Anything already handled stops being suggested next time. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No account, no server, no analytics, no ads. Parsing runs entirely on your device — your writing is never uploaded to anyone, including me. Your notes live in your own private iCloud. Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders are touched only in response to an action you tap. One purchase, no subscription. Write the thing down and get on with your day.
