Note vs PlainMind

Note-Due brings your notes and tasks together. Write a note, add tasks inside it, set due dates, and get reminded — all without switching apps. NOTES THAT DO MORE Rich text with bold, italic, highlights, checklists, and code blocks. Attach photos, scan documents, record voice memos, and embed video. Draw with Apple Pencil or your finger — handwriting can be recognised and converted to typed text. While you write or scroll, toolbars slide away so your words get the whole screen. TASKS BUILT INTO YOUR NOTES Create tasks inside any note, or add standalone tasks. Set due dates, priorities, and reminders. Quick Add understands natural language — type "call James tomorrow at 9am high priority" and Note-Due does the rest. Block tasks behind 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, and between list, agenda, calendar, and kanban layouts. Snooze tasks, pin notes, and search everything instantly. The Trash keeps deleted items until you're sure. INBOX AND FOCUS MODE Capture first, schedule later: tasks without a date land in your Inbox. When it's time to work, Focus Mode shows only today's tasks in a distraction-free view. SIRI, SHORTCUTS & SPOTLIGHT Add tasks, check what's overdue, or complete something with your voice or the Shortcuts app. Find notes and tasks from Spotlight search. BUILT FOR EVERY SCREEN Designed for iPhone, iPad, and iPhone Duo. On iPad, see your notes list beside the open note, or open any note in its own window with Stage Manager. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your data lives on your device. No accounts, no servers, no tracking. Optional iCloud sync keeps your Apple devices up to date using your personal iCloud — we never see it. ——— UNLOCK NOTE-DUE PRO — $9.99 ONCE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Apple Intelligence Extract tasks from a note, summarise long notes, and rewrite selected text in any style — all on-device.

PlainMind is a calm place for the links, images, places, and ideas you want to remember, and it sorts itself. Save from any app in one tap. PlainMind organizes what you save by what it is, and when the same phrase keeps turning up in your notes, it offers to gather those saves into a collection. Or make a collection yourself and pick exactly what goes in. No tagging, no folders, no decisions in the moment. It's anti-feed. No infinite scroll, no algorithm pushing you toward what's popular. Your library is yours. Quiet, considered, the opposite of a social app. COLLECTIONS, FOUND OR MADE • PlainMind notices the phrases you repeat and offers to group them • Make your own collection and add any save to it by hand • Take a save out of any collection, and it stays out • Items join and leave on their own as your notes change • Pin any search and it becomes a collection that stays current WHAT YOU CAN SAVE Links, images, PDFs, places, plain text, music, podcasts, and video, straight from the share sheet, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. READ, MARK, KEEP • Reading mode: just the title and the words, with a table of contents • Highlight a passage and add a note; everything you've marked is together in Highlights • Listen to a saved article, read aloud on your device (Pro) • A copy that outlives the link: articles and their images, kept for when the page is gone (Pro) FIND IT LATER • On-device search across titles, notes, and text read from your images and PDFs • Filter by type, source, or when you saved it • Siri and Spotlight know your saves BUILT TO BE QUIET, AND FOR EVERYONE • Rich previews: album art, map snapshots, link previews • A widget that resurfaces something worth revisiting • On iPad and Mac, a sidebar with everything iPhone has • Light and dark, contrast that meets WCAG AA, and Dynamic Type at every size • VoiceOver throughout YOURS, AND PRIVATE PlainMind is local-first. What you save stays on your device unless you turn on iCloud backup. There are no accounts, no tracking, and no ads. FREE AND PRO Everything in PlainMind is free, with no limit on how much you save: collections, highlights and search included. PlainMind Pro adds automatic iCloud backup, so your library is never only on one device. It follows you to your iPad, your Mac and your next iPhone.
