SteelNote vs Flyout

SteelNote is a notes app built on one promise: your notes are plain Markdown files that you own. Every note is a real .md file on your device, openable in the Files app or in any editor you like, today and years from now. No proprietary database. Nothing locked away. Your notes, truly yours. Because every note is plain text, you are never trapped. Read and edit them in SteelNote, in Files, or in any other Markdown app. If you ever move on, your writing stays exactly where it is, in an open format that lasts. Native on all your Apple devices. SteelNote is built natively for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Your notes sync across all of them through iCloud, with no third party account and no extra sign in. Start a note on your phone and finish it on your Mac. Find anything, instantly. A local full text index makes search immediate, even in large libraries. Link notes together, see backlinks, organize with folders and tags, and turn any line into a task. Private when you want it. Mark a note as private and it stays out of AI features and search suggestions. Your most sensitive notes remain yours alone. Bring everything with you. Switching is painless. Import from Bear, Notion, Obsidian, Evernote, Apple Notes and more, including Markdown, TextBundle, Word, RTF, PDF and CSV. Your folders and structure come along. Everything you expect. Add images, PDFs and tables inline. Use checklists, footnotes and links. Reach your notes from Spotlight, Siri and widgets, and hand off between devices. An open format, now standard. Markdown is a first class type across Apple platforms, and SteelNote is built natively around it. Your files are open, portable and yours. Membership. SteelNote comes with a 14 day free trial, then a yearly plan or a one time lifetime purchase. Sync is always included and never restricted. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. A yearly plan renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. You can manage or cancel anytime in your Account settings.

Flyout is a markdown note app for iPhone. Capture from the share sheet, Control Centre, a Home Screen widget or Shortcuts, then find the note again with folders, tags and search. Turn on iCloud sync and your notes travel through your own iCloud account — nothing passes through our servers. Buy "Flyout for iPhone and Mac" and the Mac app is included, where a full editor slides out from the edge of your screen over your work. There is an iPhone-only option at a lower price. WHAT YOU GET • Quick notes — a tabbed scratchpad for what you never need to file • A real editor — headings, lists, tables, code blocks with syntax highlighting, images, files • Reminders that live inside the note, not in a separate app • Tags that cut across folders, and folders for everything else • Lock a note with a password — it is encrypted on your device and in iCloud • iCloud sync on your own account — nothing passes through our servers • Capture from the share sheet, Control Centre, a Home Screen widget or Shortcuts TRY IT FIRST Seven days, everything unlocked. When the trial ends your notes stay and keep syncing; only writing pauses until you buy. PRIVACY Sync stays off until you turn it on. Once it is on, your notes travel through your own iCloud account. We do not run a server that holds notes, we cannot read them, and there is no account to create. Locked notes are encrypted with a key derived from your password.
