Scrappy vs Notch Reminders

Scrappy is a digital scrapbook for ideas, research, and fun. Use Scrappy to save text, links and images—and find them again. Scrappy shows everything as large thumbnails that open to fill the view, where you can swipe through items individually. Scrappy’s sidebar shows favorites, recent items, and categories for things like notes, images, and web links to help you find what you need, along with its excellent search features. You can also create your own lists, including smart lists, with customizable icons and colors, and items can have searchable, and optionally color-coded tags too. In addition to notes, web links and images, Scrappy can play movie and audio files, has built-in support for previewing PDFs and text files, and can show other files with Quick Look. * GETTING STUFF IN - Scrappy’s Share extension can save web links, images, files and text from within other apps - If you’ve already copied something, use New from Clipboard to create a new item from the home screen or within the app itself - You can also take photos or videos with the camera, and add photos and videos from your Photos library * NOTES Use notes to collect text, links, images and other attachments. - Notes have consistent styles, and pasted text is cleaned up automatically - Links can be shown as clickable text or previews - Links to YouTube and other videos can be played inline - Include quotes, checklists, bulleted and numbered lists, highlighted text, horizontal dividers, and links to other items - Lock notes to protect sensitive information with a password that only you know * WEB LINKS When you save a web link to Scrappy, what’s shown adapts to the content: - Articles resemble reader mode in web browsers with a featured image and cleaned-up text - Other links, such as social media posts, will appear as cards with a summary and image - YouTube and other links to videos can be played Scrappy also supports links with highlights, showing only that text, and when you view the original page the highlighted text will be scrolled into view. When viewing web links, Scrappy lets you: - Remove portions of text from articles - Edit information about the links - Save the original page for offline viewing too, if required * SEARCH Once you’ve got things into Scrappy, you’ll want to find them again. Scrappy finds items by their name, date, kind, URL, tags and content, including text in scanned PDFs and images. Scrappy finds images by the text and prominent features they contain, and what they represent, such as screenshots, illustrations and receipts. Search suggestions appear as you type, and you can combine these to drill down to what you need. Found text is highlighted as you swipe through results. Scrappy also lets you create Smart Lists to match items against a set of rules. * GETTING STUFF OUT Finally, it’s no good putting things in an app if you can’t get them back out again. All the items you add to Scrappy can be dragged to other apps or saved as files, and you can export any list or the entire library as files and folders in standard formats that any good app can understand. * SUBSCRIPTIONS Use of Scrappy requires a paid subscription that you can purchase in the app. Payment will be charged to your account following any free trial offered unless cancelled in Account Settings at least 24-hours before the end of the trial period. The subscription will automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. Subscriptions may be managed and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to Account Settings after purchase. If you start a free trial and cancel before it ends, you cannot reactivate the free trial. When your subscription ends, you will lose access to any functionality provided by the subscription. Terms of Use: https://reinventedsoftware.com/scrappy/terms.html

Notch is a calm home for the reminders you already have. It works directly with the Reminders app, so your lists, your iCloud sync, Siri and your Apple Watch all keep working exactly as before. There is no new account and no second database: Notch simply shows your tasks more clearly. ONE CLEAN LINE PER TASK Each task sits on warm paper with its date and a single Complete button beneath it. Long links, email references and pasted URLs become small, readable link marks instead of a wall of characters. Tap a task for its details; press and hold for everything else. WRITE IT THE WAY YOU'D SAY IT "Send the outline tomorrow at 2pm." "Call the dentist next Tuesday." "Check the oven in 20 minutes." Notch reads the date, the time, the priority (!high) and the list (#Work) out of what you type, and leaves the title clean. EVERYTHING WITHIN REACH Search and the task field float over your list, so the next task is always one thumb away. Today, Upcoming, All and Completed are a tap apart. On iPad, your lists and tasks sit side by side. NOTIFICATIONS THAT OPEN NOTCH Notch delivers its own alerts for due tasks, so tapping one brings you straight to the task. MADE TO BE LOOKED AT ALL DAY Paper or bright ground, light or dark, eight muted accents and four text sizes that follow your system's Dynamic Type, with serif headings and fine rules. Home Screen widgets in three sizes let you check tasks off without opening the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything is parsed on your device. Notch makes no network requests, collects no data and needs no account. Your tasks stay in your own iCloud Reminders. Free on iPhone and iPad.
