Contextly Notes vs Stash

If you're writing it down in a note, it's probably important. The thing is, getting the important stuff is often too hard. Your notes should already know about your meetings and events. And, if you're taking notes in a meeting, you're probably leaving with action steps. Meetings shouldn’t end in scattered notes and forgotten follow-ups. Contextly turns what you capture into what you do—right on your Mac. Contextly connects your notes to your calendar so every thought lives in context. Record a meeting (or drop in an audio file), and Contextly transcribes it on device, summarizes the conversation, and generates clear action steps you can actually use. Then, send those action steps to your preferred task manager as to-dos with the click of a button. Connect Things 3, Reminders, Omnifocus, or Todoist, and turn your meeting notes into action without juggling multiple apps. Instead of revisiting notes later, you leave every meeting with decisions, tasks, and momentum.

Stash is the fastest place to put the things you'll need again. Save a snippet of text, a link, a photo, a GIF, or any file, from the share sheet, the clipboard, a drag and drop, or a Shortcut, and Stash keeps it one tap from your clipboard on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE • Share to Stash from any app. Text, links, images, and files are sorted into the right category automatically. • One-tap "Add from Clipboard" button, no "Allow Paste?" prompt. • Drag anything onto the Stash window on Mac or iPad. • Save a photo or GIF from a direct image URL. • Save whatever's on your clipboard straight from Control Center, on the Lock Screen, or with the Action button, and tag it on the way in. COPY IN ONE TAP • Tap any item to copy it. Photos, GIFs, and files copy as the real thing, ready to paste into Messages, Mail, Notes, or anywhere else. • Select several items and copy them together. • Quick Look any file without leaving Stash.
