footnotes is a quiet notebook for the photographs, voices, passing thoughts, ideas, and ordinary moments that make up a life. you can: - capture the full texture of a moment: in words, photos, video, and voice, all together. - return to old notes, add new moments, and watch a timeline of your life slowly take shape. - make notebooks for different parts of your life, and - turn moments into little stories to share. slices of light sizzling on a wall. laughter of friends sloppy and gold. the loosey goosey fragments. all of which you look back on with tenderness, kept whole. footnotes makes space for the footnotes of a life. the little things that become the story of who you are.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: footnotes at 4.8 against flormie's 3.7. footnotes also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. flormie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. footnotes asks for nothing beyond the download.
footnotes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: footnotes has 158 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of flormie's written reviews are positive against 97% of footnotes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
flormie ships an update weekly, footnotes every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 19, 2026.
