Beaver Notes vs Tonespin

Beaver Notes is a fast, native client for the open-source Beaver Notes server — a self-hosted note wall you run on your own infrastructure. Write markdown notes. Drop in photos, videos and files. Everything lands on your server, nowhere else. No accounts to sign up for, no third-party services, no analytics, no telemetry. FEATURES • Multi-server — connect to as many self-hosted Beaver Notes servers as you need and switch between them from the sidebar. • Local-first sync — an outbox queue keeps everything working offline and catches up the moment the server comes back. • Markdown editor — bold, italic, code, lists, links, headings, with live preview. • Attachments — photos, videos, and arbitrary files. Images appear in an adaptive grid with a fullscreen viewer. Inline video playback. • Upload progress — per-file and per-message progress overlays, including retry on failure. • Image editor — crop, draw, filters, and optional optimization before upload. • Video trim & optimize — HEIC and H.265 encoding to keep uploads small. • Quick input — a compact composer at the bottom of the wall for fast capture. • Search — local full-text search with type, tag, pinned and date filters. • Spotlight — your notes are findable from the system search. • Privacy — biometric lock with Face ID / Touch ID, auto-lock timeout, and the option to hide previews in the App Switcher. • Storage controls — per-server cache size limit and one-tap erase. • Multi-platform — adapted layouts for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with native sidebar, context menus, swipe actions, and keyboard shortcuts. PRIVACY The app talks only to the self-hosted server you configure. No analytics SDKs. No third-party services. No developer-side backend.

Rewrite any message in the right tone, on your iPhone or iPad. One purchase, no subscription, no account, no word limits. Paste or share text, pick a tone, and get a rewrite you can copy or send. On devices with Apple Intelligence (iOS 26 or later, turned on in Settings), Tonespin uses Apple's on-device language model. On every other device it uses its own deterministic rule engine. Either way your text is rewritten on the device; Tonespin has no server and no account. REWRITE - Six tones: Formal, Casual, Professional, Playful, Concise, Friendly. - Custom tone profiles: start from a tone and choose contractions, filler removal, emoji and punctuation. - Length control from much shorter to much longer, and formats for bullets, numbered steps, email or a short message. - Try again for a different wording, then swap single words in Word Studio. NEW IN 4.0 - Share extension: select text in Mail, Notes, Messages or Safari, tap Share, choose Tonespin, pick a tone and copy the result. - Shortcuts and Siri: "Rewrite Text" and "Rewrite with Preset" actions return the rewritten text to your shortcut. - Saved presets: keep your favorite tone, length and format together and apply them with one tap. - Fact check on every rewrite: numbers, times, prices, links, email addresses and @handles from your original are checked, and anything that changed or went missing is flagged before you send. - Searchable history: every rewrite is kept on the device (you can turn this off), with favorites, "rewrite again" and plain-text export. MESSAGE PACKS Build Professional, Friendly and Concise versions of one message side by side, add exact phrases that must stay, and save or export the comparison. CHECK YOUR WRITING Readability scores, clarity flags (passive voice, hedging, long sentences), text statistics and platform-fit meters for posts and texts. WHAT TO KNOW - The rule engine changes words, contractions, filler and punctuation. It does not restructure sentences the way a language model does. Apple Intelligence rewrites need a supported device with Apple Intelligence turned on. - Tonespin checks exact strings, not facts or meaning. Read every rewrite before you send it. - Nothing is sent automatically. Sharing exports only the text you choose. - The share extension does not save history; open the app for history and presets. iPhone and iPad.
