Oaklet Notes vs Saam Todo

Type and handwrite in the same note. Oaklet Notes puts your writing, Apple Pencil handwriting, whiteboards, tables, and math on one page, and recognizes your handwriting on your device, so search finds what you wrote by hand. Everything stays in an encrypted vault on your device. No account needed, and it works fully offline. ONE NOTE, EVERY WAY YOU THINK • Type with a block editor, then write over it with Apple Pencil — your ink moves with the line it's next to • Handwriting is recognized on your device: search your handwriting, or turn it into typed text • Whiteboards for mind maps and flowcharts, drawing with layers, tables with formulas, LaTeX math, task lists • Lay out blocks side by side, or freely as cards connected with lines • Decorations — stickers, sticky notes, tape, and stamps LOCKED TO YOU • AES-256-GCM encryption protects every note • Vault password, plus an optional Note Password for sensitive notes • Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID • Auto-lock when you step away • Works fully offline, and your notes never pass through our servers • Sign in with Apple is optional and only used to carry a subscription to your other devices. Your notes are never sent to us CONNECT YOUR NOTES • [[WikiLinks]] and ![[embeds]] link notes together, with a backlinks panel • Interactive knowledge graph that shows how your notes connect • Hierarchical tags and full-text search • Calendar view and reminders — browse notes by date, and set a reminder on a note or on its own. By default, notifications show only a generic alert, never your note's title or text AI IF YOU WANT IT — YOUR MODEL, YOUR KEY • AI is optional. Connect a local model running on your own computer, or your own cloud provider's key — the app connects to your provider rather than hosting one • Semantic search with your own model; drafting and rewriting, questions about your notes, and plain-language tool calling ON MAC, IPAD, IPHONE, WINDOWS, AND LINUX • Direct Share — send a note straight to a nearby device. Pair once with a code; transfers are encrypted end to end and go straight from one device to the other • Sync through one of your own computers or your own WebDAV server — the server only ever holds encrypted files • Notes on your own disk, not a vendor's database. Import and export Markdown anytime; export to PDF, HTML, and Word Oaklet Notes is free to use. An optional Pro subscription adds sync, the knowledge graph, AI writing tools, PDF, HTML, and Word export, Face ID unlock, and more — try it free for 30 days in the app. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID and can be managed in Settings.

Most to-do apps let you write down everything. A full list can be easy to write but hard to start. Saam holds three things at a time. Finish all three, and you write another three. As many times a day as you like, or just the once. WHY THREE Your plans can be as big as you like. The next three should be small enough that you can start right now. A short list is easier to begin than a long one, and beginning is usually the hard part. Not your whole list. Just the next three. WHAT IS INSIDE Three slots, and nothing else to set up. A small companion that sits with you while you work. A coin for every finished thing, and themes to spend them on. Badges that arrive as you go. Charts showing when you finish things, and on which days. One daily reminder, off by default, at a time you pick. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-in. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking of any kind. Everything you write stays on your device, and you can erase all of it from settings at any time. Saam is a quiet app. It will not chase you, guilt you. It just holds three things until you are ready for the next three.
