NoteSam vs Fırlat

NoteSam — Handwritten Notes for iPad Built by a mathematician who needed a handwriting notebook that actually kept up with the Apple Pencil. Couldn't find one. Wrote it. Private by design. Your notes live on your device. Sync goes only where you point it — iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, WebDAV, S3, SFTP. No third-party tracking SDKs, no ad networks, no behavioral profiling. WRITING • Native PencilKit engine tuned for low-latency Apple Pencil • Vector strokes — infinite zoom, no pixelation • Pressure + tilt sensitivity • Palm rejection that just works READING & ANNOTATION • PDF import — annotate textbooks, contracts, lecture notes • EPUB reader with text-anchored highlights that survive font-size changes • Voice memos attached to the page ORGANIZATION • Unlimited folders and notebooks • Template marketplace — grid, dot, music, planner, more • OCR search across handwritten notes PRIVACY End-to-end encryption (AES-256-GCM + Argon2id). Your cloud provider sees ciphertext only. Product analytics is limited to anonymous conversion events (sign-up, purchase). Your handwriting, your PDFs, your voice memos — those never leave your device unless you sync them yourself. OFFLINE-FIRST Everything works without a network connection. Sync is additive. Free tier: unlimited notebooks, PDF + EPUB import, all core drawing tools. Pro unlocks the template marketplace and multi-provider sync.

Fırlat is here to catch what crosses your mind before it's gone. The simplest way to take a quick note: open the app and the cursor is already waiting. Write, throw — the idea is caught. No account to make, no sign-in, no settings to touch. HOW IT WORKS Capture — Open Fırlat, write whatever's on your mind, throw it. You'll see a "Thrown" confirmation. Quick note taking is that simple. Decide — Every note you throw lands in a deck of cards waiting for your call. Swipe right to keep it, swipe left to delete it. Both are undoable. Find — The notes you keep sit in a searchable notepad. Tap to edit, swipe right to copy the text straight out. Set a reminder — Want a note thrown back at you later? Open it, tap the bell, pick a time. The reminder stays on your phone. WHY FIRLAT • No account: no setup, no login — one tap and you're taking notes • Minimalist: no ads, nothing to distract you — just an empty page and your thought • Undoable: bring back a note you deleted by accident in seconds • Your notes stay on your device and are not backed up to any cloud • Switch between dark and light theme with a double tap Fırlat isn't a heavy notebook app — it's the simplest possible tool for capturing ideas and taking quick notes. DATA & PRIVACY Your note content never leaves your device — it is not sent to a server, not backed up to any cloud, not shared with a third party. Anonymous, aggregate statistics about how you use the app are collected. See the in-app Privacy Policy for details.
