Cinch vs NoteWorthy

Apple Reminders is reliable, private, and built right into your devices. For those who prefer a more visual, spacious approach, Cinch offers a calm alternative designed around intentional daily focus. Cinch is a clean, lightweight client built directly on top of your system's existing database. It brings an airy, timeline-based layout to the tools you already rely on, without forcing you to sign up for a new service or move your data. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Cinch doesn’t require an account or operate third-party servers for storing your tasks. Your reminders remain in Apple Reminders and sync through your personal iCloud account when iCloud synchronization is enabled. Changes made in Cinch remain available in Apple Reminders and through Siri. A CALM, SPACIOUS LAYOUT The interface is designed with generous spacing and simple typography to make your day easier to scan. • Visual Timelines: Your tasks are organized chronologically by day. If you need to postpone something, just drag and drop the item to a future date. • Integrated Dashboard: See your calendar events and reminders together in one place. Customize your view by pinning your most-used lists and adding a personal tagline for daily focus. PRACTICAL TOOLS • Natural Language Input: Type tasks naturally, like "Review project details every Tuesday at 10am." Cinch automatically schedules the task and keeps the title clean — no complicated menus. • Location Alerts: Receive an alert when you arrive at or leave a specific address, making location-based tasks useful at the right moment. • Simple Organization: Customize lists with color schemes and sort tasks by priority or due date. On Mac, global keyboard shortcuts let you quickly add tasks from anywhere. Enjoy the trusted, private Apple foundation you rely on every day, paired with a calm and distraction-free workspace. Note: Natural language input is currently supported in English. CINCH PRO Cinch is free to use with one custom list. Cinch Pro is an optional auto-renewing yearly subscription that unlocks unlimited custom lists, inline calendar events, location-based tasks, and custom theme accents. Cinch Pro supports Family Sharing. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the purchase is confirmed. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. -- Privacy Policy: https://getcinch.app/privacy-policy/ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Smart notes that never leave your device. NoteWorthy writes your titles, summarizes your notes, cleans up your formatting and files everything in the right place. All of it runs on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. There is no account to create, no server to trust and no internet connection required, because the app makes no network requests at all. NOW ON THE MAC NoteWorthy 2.0 is a native Mac app. It sits on the edge of your screen as a notebook of flaps, one per label: pull a flap and its notes slide out. Capture a note without leaving what you are doing, keep a sticky on the desk beside your work, and reach your recent notes from the menu bar. AI Format and AI Organize run on your Mac, not on a server. WRITE Rich text with real Markdown underneath. Checkboxes, headings, bold and italic, tables and images. Pick from six paper colors. Scan text straight out of a photo. LET IT ORGANIZE Every note gets a title and lands in Tasks, Work, Ideas, Info or Personal on its own. Make your own labels and pin the ones you use most. One tap on AI Organize tidies the whole library, and running it twice changes nothing, because filing reads what is already stored rather than asking a model to guess again. AI FORMAT AND AI SUMMARIZE Jot something down messily and let it become a proper structured note, with lists, checkboxes and headings, and your wording untouched. Or pull a long note down to a sentence or two. Preview both before anything is applied. EVERYWHERE YOU ALREADY ARE Add to NoteWorthy from any share sheet, including Safari selections. Five Shortcuts actions for Siri, the Action button and automations, including Summarize and Format, which work on text from any app. Widgets for your Home Screen and your Mac desktop, with checkboxes you can tick without opening the app. Spotlight finds your notes. JOINED UP Dates become calendar events. People link to your contacts. Addresses open in Maps. Set a reminder before a deadline. YOURS ALONE Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID. Notes are written to disk with file protection. Export any note as Markdown and take it with you. Each device keeps its own notes: nothing is copied to a cloud. One download for iPhone, iPad and Mac, in 11 languages. Note: on-device intelligence needs an Apple Intelligence-capable device. Elsewhere NoteWorthy falls back to fast built-in heuristics and works just as well for writing, filing and search.
