Slips — Five notes, made yours Five slips. That's all. Slips is a notes app built on a simple idea: five fixed notes are enough for the things you actually return to, and few enough that you always know where everything is. No folders to organize, no archive to dig through, no blank-page guilt. Pick a slip and write. MADE YOURS Name each slip, choose an icon from hundreds of symbols, and give it a color. Groceries, Books, Trips, Meds, Faith, Projects, whatever your five are. Reorder them any time. ALWAYS IN SYNC Your slips live in your own private iCloud and stay current on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Edit on one device, and it's on the others. Nothing is collected, nothing is tracked, and there are no accounts to create. BACKED UP, JUST IN CASE Every device quietly saves a daily backup of your slips, keeping the last three. Restoring takes one tap, and a safety copy is made first, so even a restore can be undone. You can also export your slips to a file and keep it anywhere. RICH WHERE IT COUNTS Bold, italic, underline, highlight, headers, bulleted and numbered lists, tap-to-check checklists, dividers, and links that turn into preview cards. FAST WAYS IN Add to a slip from any app with the share sheet. Automate with Siri and Shortcuts. Put a slip on your Home Screen or Lock Screen with widgets, or capture instantly from Control Center. AT HOME ON THE MAC A real Mac app: your slips in the sidebar, formatting in the menu bar, Cmd+1 through Cmd+5 to switch slips, an optional menu bar icon, and sharing straight from Safari. SIMPLE PRICING Try a single Slip for free forever. Slips Plus unlocks all five. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and is shareable with your family. Slips Plus subscriptions renew automatically until canceled in your App Store account settings, at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Lifetime is a one-time purchase.

Stuff

Everything you save. Ready when you need it. Stuff is a private home for your notes, documents, screenshots, links and voice recordings across iPhone, iPad and Mac. Save something now, find it when it matters, and put it to work without starting from scratch. SAVE FIRST. KEEP MOVING. Capture text, images, PDFs, Word documents, links, files and voice notes. Paste, drag, share, pick from Photos or Files, use Shortcuts and widgets, or capture from the Mac menu bar. Stuff saves the original before processing it in the background. FIND WHAT YOU NEED. Quick Find brings items, templates and saved facts into one search, with actions to open or copy a result. On Mac, press Command-K to get there without breaking your flow. Search beyond filenames: find words in documents, images, scans and voice transcripts. Use natural language or exact text, filter your library, and see what matched. MAKE YOUR SPACE FEEL LIKE YOURS. Choose Paper, Ocean, Universe or Worlds. Explore a library of document previews, browse grouped stacks, and keep each project, client or collection together in Spaces. Pin favorites and switch views to suit the way you work. COPY THE DETAIL. SKIP THE DIGGING. Quick Copy keeps useful details within reach: names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, dates, links and references. Pin the values you use often, return to recent copies, and check the source before you use a detail. You stay in control of what gets copied or pasted. WRITE ONCE. REPLY FASTER. Turn repeated replies into templates with typed blanks. Fill from Stuff suggests details from your saved content, with sources you can check. Review the completed reply, then copy or share it. Write Markdown notes, preview documents, present PDFs, or turn a Space's photos into a deck. SEE HOW YOUR STUFF CONNECTS. Graph brings your items, tags and Spaces into view. Focus on a project's neighborhood to explore the connections in your library. PRIVATE AND LOCAL BY DESIGN. OCR, extraction, semantic search, embeddings, transcripts and optional local intelligence run on your device. Your library syncs through iCloud when available; downloaded models and search data stay device-local. If you enable link reading, Stuff sends only a public page address to Mobeera's reader service so the page can become searchable. It never sends capability URLs such as private shared-document links. You can turn link reading off at any time. STUFF FREE AND STUFF PRO Stuff Free includes every capture, search, sync, voice, template, Copy, Graph, preview, and presentation feature, plus one Space and up to 20 link reads per day. Stuff Pro adds unlimited Spaces and up to 200 link reads per day. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Stuff Pro is available as an auto-renewable subscription: Prices may vary by country or region. The price shown in the app before purchase is the amount you will be charged. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Your subscription automatically renews for the same duration unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before that period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple Account subscription settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Privacy Policy: https://www.mobeera.ai/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.mobeera.ai/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Stuff at every 3 days against Slips's weekly. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
