Active Notes vs Quark

Stop being the only one who remembers. You know it's early release Thursday. You know the party RSVP is due Friday, practice moved to 4:30, and nobody has thought about dinner. Nobody else knows, because it lives in your camera roll and your head. Active Notes takes it from there. Screenshot the school email, the party invite or the sign-up flyer. The date goes on your calendar with a reminder, the to-do is written for you, and the note clears itself once the day has passed. Nothing to type, nothing to set up. Free to use, no account needed. NOTHING FALLS THROUGH THE CRACKS Early release. The birthday party RSVP. Practice moved to 4:30. Screenshot it and the date lands on Apple Calendar, or Google Calendar with a free account, with a reminder before it starts. When a flyer asks something of you, like "RSVP by Friday" or "sign up by Wednesday", the note offers it as a to-do. Screenshot the dress or the deal and it's in To Buy with the price and the link. Say yes to the calendar once and every event after lands on its own. Each morning a short digest tells you what today holds. All free. YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS With Premium, share a list with your household and it's on their phone the moment you add something. Screenshot an invite into Family Events and it lands on everyone's calendar. Add milk from the couch and it's on their list before they reach the aisle; a tick on their phone is a tick on yours. Nobody asks "what time is the party?" again. Joining is free for them. DINNER, DECIDED Share a recipe from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or any website and it arrives ready to cook from: the ingredients to tick, the step you're on lit, every "simmer 20 minutes" a timer. Plan tonight's dinner from the recipes you saved. All free. With Premium, plan the whole week together, fill the empty nights in a tap, and send every ingredient to one grocery list with the amounts added up. FREE • Screenshots you share, read and filed • Events on Apple Calendar, with reminders • Suggested to-dos from flyers and emails • A morning and evening digest of your day • Recipes ready to cook from, and tonight's dinner planned • Lists and To Buy, on your Apple Watch too A free account (Apple or Google) adds Google Calendar, notes kept forever, and joining your household.

Cancel anytime. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. IT CLEANS UP AFTER ITSELF Once the party is over, the note removes itself. We call it the Visual Offload System™, and the feeling is Permission to Safely Forget™. Keep the notes you want. Recipes never clear themselves. IT READS THE SCREENSHOT. ONLY THE SCREENSHOT. You never ask it anything, and it never reads your email or messages, sends anything or spends your money. Smart Extraction sends the image to a cloud AI provider to pull out the details, never to train models, and can be turned off. Shared lists sync to your household. No ads, no trackers, nothing sold. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled 24 hours before the period ends; manage them in your App Store settings.
