Clarity Vault vs Lorem

Clarity Vault is a native Markdown notebook for people who want fast capture, clean writing, and durable local files. Create notes, organize folders, capture links, import media, and move between editing and reading without locking your work into a proprietary database. Vaults can live locally or in iCloud Drive, and notes remain readable as ordinary .md files. Use Clarity Vault for daily notes, project references, meeting notes, research, source collections, and reusable knowledge. Raw captures can land in an inbox, durable files can live in your media library, and linked notes can become a personal wiki over time. Core features: - Plain Markdown notes in user-selected vault folders. - Native Mac, iPhone, and iPad workspace. - Folder organization, pinned notes, recents, and fast search. - Edit and rendered view modes. - Wiki links, Markdown links, tags, checklists, tables, code blocks, and math-friendly Markdown. - Media library for images, PDFs, audio, video, transcripts, and imported files. - Voice capture with raw transcript preservation with AI Markdown organization. - Safari and share capture flows for saving web context into Markdown. - Local-first defaults with optional helpers kept behind explicit settings. - Clarity Vault is designed to stay calm, fast, and portable. Your vault remains useful even outside the app.
