Mintofu vs Plainly

One app for every idea — from a quick note to a marked-up PDF to a sprawling mind map. Mintofu brings your notes, tasks, PDFs, mind maps, and calendar together in one beautifully designed app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Capture a thought, mark up a PDF, manage your to-dos, plan your day, map out a project, and stay focused with a built-in timer — all in one calm, private place, with no clutter and no account required. Start free today and bring your whole world into one app. WHY MINTOFU Your thinking doesn't stay in neat boxes — but most apps do. You end up juggling a notes app, a to-do app, a PDF reader, a mind-mapping tool, and a calendar, copying between them and losing context at every hop. Mintofu was built the other way around. Everything lives in one place, and every piece of content can become any other. Your tools finally move at the speed of your thinking. PRIVATE AI, BUILT IN Apple Intelligence works right inside your notes, tasks, mind maps, and calendar — draft and brainstorm, proofread, rewrite, and summarize, or translate in a tap — and it powers the conversions between them.

Some documents are written to be hard to read. Plainly reads them for you. Point your camera at a lease, a medical bill, an insurance policy, a loan agreement, or a letter you have been avoiding. In a few seconds you get: THE GIST What the document actually is, who it is between, and what it commits you to. Two or three sentences, no jargon. THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER Every amount, date, deadline and duration, pulled out and laid side by side. Rent, deposit, late fee, notice period, interest rate, amount due. WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR The parts that could cost you. Automatic renewals, non-refundable charges, penalty clauses, arbitration terms, early termination fees. Each one explained in a sentence you can act on. WHAT THE WORDS MEAN Lessee, indemnify, liquidated damages, coinsurance, pro rata. Tap any term from your document for a plain definition. ASK FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS "What happens if I pay late?" "Can they raise the rent?" "What if I move out early?" Plainly answers from your document, and tells you when your document does not cover it. NOTHING EVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE This is the part that matters most. Plainly runs entirely on your device using Apple Intelligence. Your documents are never uploaded, never sent to a server, and never seen by anyone but you. There is no account to create and no data to leak. It works in airplane mode. Every other app that does this sends your lease or your medical bill to someone else's computer. Plainly does not have a server to send it to. WHO IT IS FOR - Renters reading a lease before they sign - Anyone opening a medical bill they do not understand - People comparing insurance policies at renewal - Freelancers reading a client contract - Anyone who has ever signed something they had not fully read PLAINLY PRO Your first document is free. Pro gives you unlimited documents and follow-up questions. Plainly Pro Yearly: $39.99 per year, after a 3-day free trial. Plainly Pro Weekly: $4.99 per week, after a 3-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.

It is not legal, medical or financial advice, and like anything that reads text it can make mistakes. Always check anything important against the original. Requires Apple Intelligence for full explanations. On other devices Plainly still extracts key figures and flags common terms.
