HyoMemo turns your lists into simple spreadsheet-style tables: a checkbox, a category, and the item. • Create as many tables as you like, each with its own icon • Tap a cell and type, just like a spreadsheet. Press Return to move to the next row • Filter by category and sort by any column • Auto reset: checks clear automatically every day or week at the time you choose. Great for daily bags and weekly inspections • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. Check items right from the Home Screen • Start from templates, or save your own • Search across all tables • Paste several lines to add them as separate rows • Rename the Category and Item columns for each table • Add text from Safari or other apps with the share sheet, or ask Siri • Sync iPhone and iPad with your own iCloud Drive (turn it on in Settings) • Undo deletions and resets, and export to CSV, Markdown, or JSON Great for groceries, daycare and work bags, emergency kits, and step-by-step procedures. The free version shows ads. Remove them with a one-time purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Type Shhh at none against HyoMemo's 1. Type Shhh also leads on ads (none vs shown). HyoMemo's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
