Solus vs FoldNotes

There's always more to do. More to track, more to optimize, more to feel behind on. Solus is built on a different belief. One intention, held clearly through a single day, is worth more than a hundred tasks left half-finished. Solus is a daily intention app designed to help you focus on one meaningful thing each day. Instead of managing endless tasks, begin your morning with a single intention, carry it with you throughout the day, and end with a quiet moment of reflection. Set one intention in the morning. Live with it. Mark it complete when you're ready, or carry it forward when you're not. Every day begins fresh. Whatever happened yesterday stays there. No streaks. No history used against you. No record of the days you didn't follow through. When you're done, the moment is quiet and intentional. Not a score. Not a statistic. Just a gentle close to the day. Your intention stays with you beyond the app. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep it visible without opening Solus, and it appears in StandBy while your iPhone rests on its side charging. You can ask Siri to set your intention or mark it done without touching the screen at all. Widgets follow your selected theme so your Home Screen feels consistent. Solus follows your preferred text size, so it stays comfortable to read. Everything is stored on your device. No account required. No data leaves your iPhone. Solus is free to download. The daily intention experience is completely free and always will be. If Solus has been helpful, you're welcome to buy a coffee. It's a small one-time way to say thank you. For those who want to go further, Solus Plus is available as a one-time purchase with no subscription. Solus Plus includes: • Evening Close End each day with a quiet question and a moment of reflection. • Quiet Archive Keep every intention you've ever set in one place. No scores. No color coding. No completion rates. Just a quiet record of what mattered. • Themes Five thoughtfully designed themes. Dawn and Midnight are free. Stone, Dusk, and Slate are available with Solus Plus. Solus is for anyone who has tried productivity systems and walked away exhausted. For anyone who knows what matters today but keeps losing it in the noise. One intention. One day. That's enough.

Some notes are short. Others grow into chapters, plans and running logs you scroll past a hundred times. FoldNotes lets you fold the finished parts away, so a long note stays as small as the part you are actually working on. Every note is a plain Markdown file. No database, no proprietary format, no export step. Your notes sit in iCloud Drive or on your device, and any other app can open them, today or in ten years. It is also a real iOS app, written in Swift. Not a web page in a wrapper. It opens instantly, works offline, handles a hardware keyboard properly, and does not sit in the background eating your battery. FOLD ANYTHING • Collapse any heading or list item and everything beneath it folds away • Hoist a section to work on it alone, with everything else out of sight • Task counts stay on the folded heading, so you can see what is left without unfolding WRITTEN FOR MARKDOWN • Live styling as you type — headings, lists, quotes, code, links • Six heading levels, and GFM tables with a real table editor • Code blocks with syntax highlighting • Wiki-links [[like this]], with previews and automatic backlinks • Nested tags TASKS WHERE YOU WROTE THEM • Four states: to do, in progress, done and cancelled • Due dates and priorities written inline, in plain text • Assign them to a project and add context and comments • Counts roll up to the section above them BUILT FOR IPAD • Library, notes and editor side by side • Hardware keyboard shortcuts throughout • An inspector with outline, tasks, references, properties and a note graph • Scan printed text straight into a note with the camera FIND ANYTHING • Search every note, including regular expressions • Saved queries and database views across your whole collection • Daily notes with a calendar COMING FROM ANOTHER APP • Import from Bear or Obsidian in a tap • Or simply point FoldNotes at the Markdown files you already have MAKE IT YOURS • Light and dark themes, including Nord, Dracula and Catppuccin • Choose your body, heading and code fonts • Paragraph focus, sentence focus and typewriter scrolling Folding is not a formatting trick. A long document asks you to hold every section in your head at once; folding lets you put the finished ones down. That is the whole idea, and everything else here is built around it. Your notes will outlive this app, and every app like it. That is rather the point.
