Quick Notes
Read full descriptionHide full description
Bramble is a quiet inbox for the thoughts you would otherwise lose. Open it and the cursor is already in the editor, so the idea is on the page before it slips away. Everything you jot lands in one place, and anything you never come back to tidies itself away after thirty days. Most notes apps ask you to organize first and write second. Bramble flips that: capture now, decide later. Pin what matters, tag by color, search the rest, and let the archive quietly absorb whatever stopped being useful. Your inbox stays light without you lifting a finger. WHAT YOU GET • Never lose a passing thought: the editor is focused the instant the app opens • An inbox that cleans itself: unpinned notes drift to the Archive after a window you set • Keep the important things forever: pinned notes never expire • Find anything in seconds: full-text search across Inbox and Archive • Group by project, person or theme with color tags and one-tap filters • Nothing vanishes by surprise: a local reminder the day before a note auto-archives PERFECT FOR • Writers and makers who need a scratchpad that never nags • Busy people who jot reminders, then forget which app they used • Anyone whose notes app has become a graveyard of dead lists • Minimalists who want capture without folders, notebooks or setup WHY NOT JUST USE THE BUILT-IN NOTES APP? Built-in notes keep everything forever, so the pile only grows and the important line gets buried under a hundred stale ones. Bramble treats notes like an inbox rather than a filing cabinet: recent thoughts stay in view, pinned ones stay put, and the rest retires on its own. Sort by newest, oldest or longest, see live word and character counts, share a note with a tap, and restore anything from the Archive whenever you change your mind. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Every note stays on this iPhone. No account, no sign-in, no cloud sync, no analytics tied to your writing. The archive reminders are scheduled on the device and never leave it. FULL ACCESS Bramble is a paid app. A subscription unlocks the full experience: unlimited notes, tags and pins, full-text search, custom auto-archive timing and archive reminders. Choose a weekly plan, a yearly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and are charged to your Apple ID account. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. The exact price for your region is shown in the app before you confirm. Download Bramble, write the first thing on your mind, and let the inbox take care of the rest.

Blekk is your notebook, task tracker, journal, and scratchpad - simple, elegant, and focused. One fresh page for each day, all on a single scroll. Not every note needs a formal notetaking app. Blekk is for the things you jot down but don't always know where to stash. There is nothing to set up and nothing to organise. Open it and today is waiting for you. Write, and it saves as you type. Late nights stay on one page: the day turns over at 5 AM, not midnight. Type a task and it becomes one, with a checkbox. Yesterday fades behind today, every past day stays in the scroll, and anything you've ever written is a search away - your words, your tags, the themes rising in your writing. The past stays reachable, without pulling focus from today. Blekk is a quiet place to write anything and everything. Welcome. Also: • Keep more than one notebook, each with its own pen and ink - one for work, one for the garden, one for the book you keep meaning to write • Lock any notebook with a PIN • Choose warm cream or stone paper; night ink comes on after dark • Share a notebook with your team, then return to a personal space that stays separate • Works fully offline; sign in and your words follow you everywhere, encrypted at rest • Export everything as plain markdown, any time - your notes are yours, and reading them is never paywalled • No AI. No feeds. No streaks. No distractions. Free for 30 days with everything on. After that, the basic plan keeps one writing device, with reads and export everywhere, forever. Blekk Plus adds unlimited notebooks and writing from every device. Teams bring shared notebooks with per-seat billing. Blekk Plus and Teams are auto-renewable subscriptions, billed through your Apple ID. Payment is charged at confirmation of purchase; the subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in your Apple ID account settings.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quick Notes at none against Blekk | Notes's 2. Blekk | Notes's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
