Pinote vs Simul

Your next task. On your Lock Screen. A parcel to return before you leave. A question to ask at your next meeting. Write it in Pinote and pin it, so you can see your next task without opening the app. • Notes and checklists Write freely, then focus on the next item in your checklist. • Pin now or schedule a time Pin a note from the editor or choose when it should appear automatically. Lock Screen availability and updates depend on system settings and device conditions. • Continue across devices Use iCloud to keep your notes across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Each device displays notes in its own way. • Recover deleted notes Recently Deleted keeps copies on this device for 30 days. After restoring a note, you can turn its pin and automatic schedule back on yourself. • Keep a file backup Export a Pinote JSON backup and import it later without overwriting existing notes. Export as text to read your notes in other apps. Recently Deleted is stored separately on each device. No separate Pinote account is required. Cross-device sync uses iCloud. No ads appear on your Lock Screen.

When you can't follow, just put your phone down. Simul turns what you hear into bilingual captions in real time: the original on top, the translation below, sentence by sentence as they're spoken. ■ Entirely on this device Recognition and translation both run locally. Audio and text are never uploaded and never touch a server. It works in Airplane Mode — go ahead and turn off your network right now and try it. ■ Where it helps · Face to face: one conversation, every turn translated — whoever speaks is detected automatically. If it picks the wrong side, tap that half to switch it. Lay the phone flat between you and one tap splits the screen so their half reads right way up · Lectures and meetings: set it on the table and follow the speaker line by line · Video: play a foreign-language video out loud and read along on screen ■ Built to be read Pure black, large type. The sentence still being spoken is dimmed and underlined; it settles once it's finished — so you always know which line can still change. Show both languages or just the translation. Caption size adjusts on its own, without changing your system text size. ■ Apple Watch Read captions right on your wrist, and start or stop from there. Put the phone down without missing anything. ■ Also · Speak the translation aloud so the other person can hear it · Generate a summary of the conversation when you're done · A Home Screen widget showing your current language pair — one tap to start · Start from Control Center, the Action button, or Siri · Continue on another device with Handoff ■ Language models download first The first time you use it, Simul walks you through downloading the recognition model for your languages. Models are managed by the system and shared across apps, so they don't count toward Simul's size. Downloading needs a network connection — after that, you never need one again.
