Note-Due brings your notes and tasks together in one place. Write a note, create tasks inside it, set due dates, and get reminded. NOTES THAT DO MORE Rich text editing with bold, italic, highlights, checklists, code blocks, and more. Attach photos, scan documents, record voice memos, and embed video inline. Draw directly in notes with Apple Pencil or your finger — handwriting is automatically recognised and can be converted to typed text. TASKS BUILT INTO YOUR NOTES Create tasks inside any note, or add standalone tasks. Set due dates, priorities, and reminders. Use Quick Add with natural language — type "call James tomorrow at 9am high priority" and Note-Due handles the rest. Mark tasks as blocked by other tasks to map real dependencies. POWERFUL ORGANISATION Folders, subfolders, tags, and smart filters keep everything findable. Switch between Today, Upcoming, Overdue, All, and Inbox views. Toggle between list, agenda, calendar, and kanban layouts. Snooze tasks, pin notes, and search instantly. Home screen and Lock Screen widgets show what needs your attention right now. INBOX — CAPTURE FIRST, SCHEDULE LATER Add tasks without a date and they land in your Inbox. Review them when you're ready and schedule them out. Reduces friction when an idea strikes and you can't stop to plan. FOCUS MODE Block out distractions with a full-screen, dark view that shows only today's tasks. Work through them one by one. SIRI & SHORTCUTS Add tasks, check what's overdue, or mark something complete — all with your voice or from the Shortcuts app. A Control Centre button lets you quick-add from anywhere. IPAD & MULTI-WINDOW Open notes side-by-side with iPad Stage Manager. Pop any note into its own window. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your data lives on your device. No accounts, no servers, no tracking.

Power Tasks Recurring tasks, subtasks, task dependencies, Apple Calendar sync, and two-way sync with Apple Reminders. Advanced Notifications A morning daily digest, second reminders, configurable quiet hours, custom lead times, snooze from the lock screen, and custom sounds. Export & Import Export notes as PDF or HTML. Bulk-export as Markdown ZIP. Import from Bear, Obsidian, Apple Notes, and Apple Reminders. Projects Group notes and tasks into projects, track progress with a live completion percentage, and set a project due date. Time Tracking Set a time estimate on any task, then start a built-in timer. Logged time accumulates automatically. PDF Annotation Open any PDF attachment and draw on it with Apple Pencil or your finger. Annotations are saved per page.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Tasko at daily against Note's every 2 days. Tasko also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
