Chronicle vs Scratch.

Chronicle brings the feel of a real paper notebook to your iPhone and iPad — clean, focused, and distraction-free. Whether you want to build better habits, capture your thoughts, or plan your week, Chronicle keeps everything in one place with a beautiful, paper-like design inspired by classic journaling. JOURNAL YOUR DAYS Write freely in a paper-textured canvas. Add a highlight (the best part of your day) and a lowlight (something to improve). Build a daily reflection habit without friction. TRACK YOUR HABITS Add any habit you want to build — exercise, reading, water intake, meditation, or anything else. Track it as Yes/No, a count (reps, km, minutes), or free text. Chronicle shows your streaks, completion rates, and 12-week heatmaps so you can see exactly how you're doing. PLAN YOUR DAY AND WEEK Add to-dos for any day. Check them off with a satisfying tap. The weekly planner gives you a 7-column spread to see your whole week at a glance — just like a classic paper planner. BEAUTIFUL INSIGHTS See your 30-day completion rates, current streaks, activity heatmaps, and to-do progress charts — all in one Insights view. MULTIPLE PROFILES One app, multiple people. Each person on your iPhone or iPad can have their own profile with separate habits, journal entries, and to-dos. DESIGNED LIKE A REAL NOTEBOOK - Warm cream paper background (#FAFAF7) - Choose your page texture: plain, ruled lines, dot grid, or graph paper - Satisfying spring animations and haptic feedback - iPad: full split-view sidebar layout - iPhone: clean tab bar, icon-only Chronicle is simple enough to open every morning and powerful enough to grow with you.

Most task apps get in your way. You open them up just to write down a quick thought, and suddenly you’re picking dates, picking projects, and clicking through dropdowns. Scratch is built on a simpler idea: treat your to-do list like the paper scratchpad on your desk. It gives you a single, clean Markdown canvas for your entire day. Open the app, type what you need to do, and get back to what you were working on. No folders to manage, no forms to fill out, and no clutter. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT * Just Plain Text: Use standard Markdown for list, checkboxes, headings, hyperlinks, and highlighting. * Everything in One Place: No nested submenus or lost lists. Your active tasks, daily notes, and quick brain dumps all live on one continuous page. * Your Data, Your Choice: Want complete privacy? Use Scratch in 100% offline Local Mode — your notes stay locked on your device. Need access everywhere? Turn on Cloud Sync to mirror your data on other devices. * Instant Access with Widgets: Keep your list front and center. Use home screen widgets to view your scratchpad at a glance, or add lock screen widgets to check tasks without even unlocking your phone. * Blazing Fast: It opens instantly and stays out of your way so you can capture ideas as fast as you think of them. If you like keeping things simple, Scratch is for you.
