Catch an idea. Keep it in your own notes. Simple Memo helps you capture short thoughts by voice or text and keep them in your Obsidian workflow or your own email inbox. DIALOGUE MEMO: A NOTE THAT ASKS BACK Speak an unfinished idea and answer short follow-up questions by voice in the same memo composer. Tap the memo to stop the exchange and edit by typing. Organize the note when you are ready, then review it and use the existing Send button. Questions and note organization use Apple Intelligence on your iPhone. Dialogue Memo does not require Siri setup. A supported iPhone with iOS 26 or later, Apple Intelligence enabled, and a supported language model are required. Voice input also requires microphone permission. Your input remains available when the model cannot be used. CAPTURE THE THOUGHT Write or dictate on iPhone. Use a supported Apple Watch or Siri shortcut when your hands are busy. Save ideas, thoughts to revisit, and short notes before you forget them. KEEP IT WHERE YOU ALREADY LOOK Set up Obsidian integration to append notes as Markdown in your selected folder. Send notes to your own email address to read them in your usual inbox. SET UP YOUR DESTINATION Email delivery requires email verification and an internet connection. Obsidian integration requires selecting a destination folder and granting access. Syncing that folder across devices depends on your sync service and settings. Apple Watch and Siri workflows require supported devices and initial setup. Steps and connection requirements vary by capture method. FREE PLAN AND PREMIUM Free to download. The free plan allows up to 3 memo sends per day. Premium removes the sending limit. Saving to Obsidian without sending an email is a Premium feature. See the in-app purchase screen for current pricing, included features, and renewal terms. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled before renewal. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple account settings.

NoteFlowは、Markdownで知識を整理する人のためのキャプチャキューです。 iPhoneからメモ、リンク、会話の抜粋、テキストクリップをすばやく残せます。記録した内容は一つのキューで確認し、利用できる場合はSiri AIで整理してから、Filesへ書き出すか、選択したフォルダへMarkdownとして保存できます。 NoteFlowが大切にしているのは、保存前の確認です。記録は、内容が整っているか、どこへ保存するかを自分で確認するまでキューに残ります。 主な機能: - メモ、リンク、会話、クリップのクイック記録 - 準備済み、処理中、待機中、整理済みを確認できるキュー - Apple AIによる整理と、利用できない場合のローカル処理 - Obsidianで扱いやすいMarkdown書き出し - Filesで選択したVaultフォルダへの直接保存 - テキスト記録や主要画面の表示に対応したショートカット - AI処理や書き出し前の機密情報マスキング - 既存ファイルを上書きしない競合回避保存 アカウント、サブスクリプション、ログインは必要ありません。

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NoteFlow at none against Simple Memo's 2. Simple Memo's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
