JustMe. is the most secure way to chat with yourself. Think of it as a private messaging app where you are the only participant. Your data lives on your iPhone and in your own private iCloud: no servers of ours, no ads, no tracking. Your thoughts remain yours. This is not an AI chatbot. There is no algorithm reading your messages or generating replies. JustMe uses smart rules, right on your device, to turn what you type into organized, actionable information. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Chat with yourself: Type freely to capture thoughts, ideas and anything on your mind. - Reminders in plain language: Write "Tomorrow at 6pm doctor" and JustMe creates a reminder with the right date, time and title. Add advance notices so you never miss anything important. - Lists: Type "Shopping list: bread, milk, eggs" and get an organized list instantly. Tick items off as you go. - Wishlists: Keep what you'd like to buy or be given, with link, image and price. Move links you share from other apps straight into a wishlist. - Weekly menu: Plan lunch and dinner for the week. Get a "Today's menu" notice in the morning and a separate one for dinner, plus reminders to defrost or start cooking. Send the ingredients you're missing to your shopping list in one tap, and get ideas when you don't know what to cook. - Pantry: Know what you have at home. What you tick off in your grocery list goes to the pantry on its own. When something runs out or is running low, put it back on the list where you buy it, one list per store if you like. JustMe warns you before you buy something you already have, and you can ask in the chat: "/have detergent". - Everyday tab: Lists, menu, pantry and wishlists in one place, with today's meals at the top. - Save links from anywhere: Paste a URL in the chat or use the Share Extension from Safari or any other app. - Voice notes: Tap the microphone to capture your thoughts by voice. - Notes: Keep important messages and find them in their own section. - Slash commands: Type / for quick commands: /reminder, /list, /link, /note, /wish and /have. Choose which ones show up. - Search everything: Find any message, reminder, list or link instantly. PRIVACY AND SECURITY Your privacy is not a feature: it is the foundation. JustMe was built with one principle: your data belongs to you and no one else. - Your data is stored on your iPhone and in your private iCloud, never on our servers. - Sign in with Apple for anonymous, secure authentication. - PIN protection (4 or 6 digits) and automatic lock. - Face ID and Touch ID support. - No ads. No tracking. No data collection. - Your messages are understood by rules, not by AI. The only AI feature, Premium meal ideas, runs on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence. Nothing is sent to the cloud. EXPORT YOUR DATA Your data is yours to take anywhere. Export messages, reminders, links, lists, menu and pantry in TXT or CSV format. PREMIUM JustMe is free to use with generous limits. Your data syncs across your Apple devices with iCloud on every plan. Upgrade to Premium to unlock: - Unlimited reminders (free plan includes 10). - Unlimited lists and wishlists (free plan includes 1 of each). - Unlimited saved links and documents (free plan includes 5 of each). - Unlimited pantry (free plan includes 30 items at home). - Plan your menu beyond the next 7 days and copy a whole week. - AI meal ideas generated on your iPhone (devices with Apple Intelligence). - iCloud sync for voice notes, documents and profile photo. Available as monthly, annual or lifetime plans. IN ENGLISH, SPANISH AND JAPANESE JustMe fully supports English, Spanish and Japanese, adapting to your device language. Reminders and lists understand natural language in all three. Your thoughts deserve a private space. JustMe gives you exactly that, nothing more, nothing less.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SecondBrain at 100% against JustMe's 50%. SecondBrain also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). JustMe's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. JustMe sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and SecondBrain sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
JustMe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SecondBrain has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of JustMe's written reviews are positive against 100% of SecondBrain's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
