Your home, at a glance Swipe through your spaces on the home screen. Arrange rooms, cabinets, drawers, and boxes in a hierarchy that reflects your home. Switch to the list to see how they fit together. Put things in order Sort the spaces list and the items inside a container by name, A–Z or Z–A, or newest first. Your custom order is still there whenever you want it. Start with a name Enter an item's name and choose where it belongs. A photo is optional, and you can add notes when you need them. Things to do. Things to bring. Build a checklist for work, a weekend away, or everyday errands. Mix text entries with items you've already recorded. Check off your progress; taking an item out is a separate action. Know where to look Search by name to see the location you recorded, then open that container in Nook. Mark an item as taken out when you use it, and mark it as home when you put it back. Nook keeps the locations and status you enter; it does not automatically track physical objects. Start free. Unlock once. Record up to 30 inventory items for free, with unlimited text-only checklist entries. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks unlimited inventory items. No subscription. Existing records remain available to view and manage.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: *slash at none against Nook's 1. Nook's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
