No ads. No sign-up. No subscription. Add one room and color tracking starts right away. Each room's or task's tile slowly shifts through four colors — Sparkling, Tidy, Getting dusty, Time to tidy — based on the days since you last marked it done. The sakura cat never nags or shames you; it only ever suggests, like "Want to tidy up together soon?" ROOM LEVEL OR TASK LEVEL, YOUR CHOICE - Add a room and color tracking starts immediately - Break a room into tasks (sink, range hood, and so on) for finer-grained tracking - Choose a frequency for each: Daily, Weekly, Every 2 weeks, Monthly, or your own custom days NEVER PRESSURES YOU - No overwhelming list of everything you've been putting off, no streak-shaming - The sakura cat's messages are always phrased as a gentle suggestion HISTORY - See each room's and task's color history as a simple day-by-day chart - See at a glance how many times something reached "Time to tidy" EASY TO SEE, EASY TO USE - Color-blind friendly mode (adds a pattern, not just color) - Three text sizes; haptics can be turned on or off - 9 languages: English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese and Portuguese YOUR RECORDS STAY ON YOUR DEVICE - No account. Your records are saved only on your device - The app itself never connects to the internet (purchases are handled by your device's app store) - Copy your records as text (export) and paste them back in (import), for example when you change phones FREE TO USE - Up to 3 rooms, 3 tasks per room, with full color tracking (including custom thresholds) - History for the last 7 days - Every setting is free, including color-blind mode, text size and export/import The in-app purchase is a one-time purchase, and nothing renews automatically. It unlocks unlimited rooms and tasks, all-time history, and 2 cat-color themes. Colors are just a guide. Use this app at your own pace.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fuwari Diary at none against Tidy Note's 1. Fuwari Diary also leads on update cadence (daily vs monthly). Tidy Note's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
