Noteit Widget
Read full descriptionHide full description
Noteit is the simplest way to share a quick doodle with the one person who matters. Pick a friend, sketch something silly, hit send. Their home screen widget shows your drawing the second you tap Send. Open noteit at the same moment? Watch each other draw stroke-by-stroke, live. That's it. That's the whole app. WHY NOTEIT โข One friend at a time. No groups, no feed, no followers. โข Drawings live for 24 hours, then disappear forever. โข A widget on their home screen โ they don't even have to open noteit to see it. โข Live mode when you're both online. Stroke-by-stroke, no delay. โข Beautifully simple, deliberately small. HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign in with Apple. Pick a username. 2. Add one friend by their @noteit username. 3. Tap their card, draw, send. 4. They see it on their home screen. Magic. WHAT'S INSIDE โข 8 colors and 3 brush sizes โข Apple Pencil pressure sensitivity (iPad supported) โข Undo, clear, redraw โ until you're happy โข Push notifications when a friend draws back โข Small + medium home screen widgets โข Light, fast, friendly to your battery WHO IT'S FOR Couples in a long-distance moment. Best friends mid-meeting. Siblings on different couches. Anyone who wants to say "hey, I'm thinking of you" without typing a word.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Noteit Widget at none against Doodle Mates's 3. Doodle Mates's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
