Vismory

Vismory helps you keep passing information and memories from slipping away. Every day, useful ideas and scenes move past quickly: a detail in a video, a reference in a feed, a screenshot you want to revisit, a photo from daily life, or something shared from another app. Saving the image is easy. Remembering why it mattered later is the hard part. Vismory turns those moments into lightweight visual notes. Start from a photo, screenshot, shared item, text, URL, or clipboard content, then add a short note so the reason stays with what you saved. What you can do with Vismory: - Save photos and screenshots with short notes - Start a note from shared content or clipboard text - Keep ideas, references, and everyday scenes before they disappear - Review saved items in an image grid, summary list, or calendar view - Find what you saved with clues such as note text, tags, dates, places, sources, and capture details when available Vismory is made for the space between a full note and a forgotten screenshot. It gives you a quick way to save what caught your eye and enough context to understand it later.

A calm, private journal for your morning and your night — built so you can throw out our questions and write your own. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Nothing to buy. No ads, no subscriptions, no upsells, no "pro" tier. • No company server. Your entries live on your device and sync only through your own private iCloud. We never see them, because they never reach us. • Nothing is sold or mined. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. • Nothing is downloaded after you install it. The whole app works offline. • Sign in with Apple is the only sign-in there is. No email, no password, no profile. WHAT YOU GET • Two moments a day: intentions, gratitude and to-dos in the morning; meals, movement, mood and thoughts at night. • Every prompt is yours — add, rename, reorder, retype or remove any of them. • Styles in Settings › Appearance: Classic, Sun & Moon, Big & Cozy and Conversation. Some change the look, some change how you journal. • Fourteen kinds of prompt: paragraphs, single lines, numbers, sliders, yes/no, single- and multi-select, checklists, times, tap-to-count, photos, stopwatches, a daily question, and recurring tasks. • Working on: try a change for a while, then keep it or let it go. • Recurring tasks. Give a habit its own repeat: every day, certain weekdays, or every few days. Only what's due turns up, and each task keeps its own streak. • Insights is a stack of cards: streaks, charts, mood, and On This Day — what you wrote on this date in earlier years. All worked out on this device. • Stopwatch celebrations. A stopwatch can chime at every interval you pick, such as every five minutes. Tap Continue and the timer keeps going. It can stay on the Lock Screen while it runs. On iPhones with iOS 26 or later the chime sounds even in silent mode, once you allow alarms. • Choose the paper and the type: Plain and Simple, cream, white, or a warm dark, with a wider choice of typefaces. • Evening voice notes: record one, keep the transcript, and manage it from one place. • Optional add-ons in Settings › Add-ons, all off until you turn them on. Quick notes is a running list of things you say; the words are kept and the recording is not. Thoughtful Entries is a list of longer, one-time entries, each with its date, not tied to any day's questions. • Reminders, morning and evening. Reply from the notification and your answer is saved to the question you choose. • Optional app lock with Face ID or a Journal passcode, off until you turn it on. • Apple Health, optional: sleep, steps and exercise fill themselves in, and Settings lists every kind of data the app reads. A stopwatch can also save a run to Apple Health as a workout, only if you turn that on for that question. • Protocols (optional): see morning light, sleep timing, Zone 2 cardio and doing something hard early in the day, from your Apple Watch, worked out on your iPhone. General wellness, not medical advice. • Home Screen widgets for your streak, a daily goal, a to-do, a tap-counter and a stopwatch. • Unfinished to-dos roll forward to tomorrow on their own. • Take it with you: a printable PDF book, a CSV, or a full backup. • iPhone and iPad — two columns on iPad, one on iPhone, with hardware-keyboard support. On iPhone Duo, open the phone and Morning and Evening sit side by side like a book. THINGS TO TRY • Open Edit my questions and delete half of them. The journal you keep is the one that asks what you actually want to answer. • Add a recurring task for something you keep meaning to do twice a week, then look at Insights in a fortnight. • Switch to the dark paper for the evening page. • Put the Daily Goal widget on your Home Screen and pick one number to keep an eye on. • Removed a prompt and want it back? Edit my questions, then Removed fields. The answers were never deleted. • Ask Siri to add something to today's to-do list. Reflect in the morning. Unwind at night. Keep it private. Make it yours.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Day and Night Journal at none against Vismory's 1. Day and Night Journal also leads on ads (none vs shown). Vismory's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
