JotBox vs JustURLs

JotBox is a fast, local-first scratchpad for the notes that don't need a whole filing cabinet. Open the app and start writing. JotBox keeps a blank page ready, stores notes in a simple timeline, and adds just enough structure when you need it. Use JotBox to: - capture quick notes, measurements, reminders, drafts, and lists - format text with bold, italic, underline, colors, highlights, links, bullets, numbered lists, checkboxes, and indentation - add images from your photo library or pasteboard, with camera capture on iPhone and iPad - save text and links from the Share Sheet where supported - pin, reorder, and find notes with full-text search, snippets, filters, and highlights - lock individual notes locally with a JotBox privacy password and optional biometric unlock where available - mark reference notes read-only so they stay viewable without accidental edits - recover deleted notes from the Recycle Bin - export notes as text, Markdown, PDF, or a restorable backup file - optionally sync through your private iCloud account - optionally create iCloud Drive backup snapshots No account is required. Notes stay on your device unless you turn on Apple's private iCloud sync or iCloud Drive backup. JotBox includes a 7-day app-managed trial. After the trial, JotBox Pro is a one-time $3.99 unlock for editing, creating and managing notes, and rich attachments. Existing notes remain viewable, copyable, shareable, and exportable.

JustURLs is a simple place to save links with the context that makes them useful later. You know the moment: you find an article, video, tool, recipe, or idea worth keeping—but by the time you return to it, you cannot remember why you saved it. JustURLs helps you keep the URL and the reason together. Save links from Safari and other apps using the iOS Share Sheet. Add a quick note, choose a category and optional topic, favorite the important ones, archive the rest, and search when you need to find something again. Features: • Save URLs with notes, categories, and topics • Save links from other apps with the Share Extension • Detect duplicate links before saving • Search saved links, notes, categories, and topics • Get private, on-device topic suggestions • Favorite the links you return to most • Archive links without deleting them • Export your saved links when you need a copy • Keep your saved links and notes stored locally on your iPhone JustURLs is designed to be calm, private, and useful—without turning link saving into another feed to manage. Save up to 10 links free. Lifetime Unlimited is available as a one-time in-app purchase with no subscription.
