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. Your previous version is saved before every AI rewrite. Privacy Vault & Note Locking Hide folders behind Face ID in the Vault, lock individual notes, or require Face ID every time you open the app. Version History Every note is versioned automatically. Browse and restore any earlier draft. Power Tasks Recurring tasks (daily, weekdays, weekly, monthly, yearly), subtasks, dependencies, and Apple Calendar sync. Advanced Notifications Morning daily digest, second reminders, quiet hours, custom lead times, lock-screen snooze, and custom sounds. Export & Import Export notes as PDF or HTML, or your whole library as a Markdown ZIP. Import Markdown and text notes from Bear, Obsidian, or Apple Notes, and tasks from Apple Reminders. Projects & Time Tracking Group notes and tasks into projects with live progress and due dates. Add time estimates to tasks and track real time with a built-in timer. PDF Annotation & Tables Draw on PDF attachments with Apple Pencil, saved per page. Insert editable grid tables into any note. Smart Scheduling Smart Schedule checks your task load and suggests the least-busy day and time. Kanban Board Manage tasks across To Do, In Progress, and Done, and drag cards between columns.
Clair App
Read full descriptionHide full description
Clair brings your tasks, quick notes, and ideas together in one clean, simple app. No clutter, no sign-in, no subscriptions, just three focused tabs that work the way you think. Todos: Capture tasks the way you'd send a message, type it, hit send, done. Set reminders so nothing slips through. Add priority flags to see what matters most at a glance. Sort your list the way that works for you. Cards: Quick sticky notes for anything you need to jot down fast, a thought, a reminder, a snippet to refer back to later. Choose from a range of colors to organize visually, and sort your cards however you like. Notes: A full notes experience when you need more space to think. Organize with folders, write in Markdown for clean formatting, and sort to find what you need quickly. Make it yours: Customize Clair with accent colors and font options so the app feels like your own. Privacy first: Clair works entirely on your device, with no accounts, no tracking, and no logins. Your data is yours. Clair is aimed at anyone juggling multiple lightweight capture tools, such as a todo list, a notes app, and a place for quick reminders, who wants them combined into one simple interface instead of switching between separate apps. It solves the friction of that context switching by keeping fast task capture, quick notes, and longer form writing in one clean, three tab app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Clair App at none against Note's 1. Clair App also leads on iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
