Simple Notes Widget vs Vellum

Simple Notes Widget is the fastest way to keep your lists where you can see them — on your home screen, your desktop, and every device you own. WIDGET FIRST Put a page of notes right on your iPhone or iPad home screen, or your Mac desktop. Check things off directly in the widget — no need to open the app — and flip between pages with the widget's arrows. PAGES, NOT PILES Organize notes into simple pages: Groceries, To-Do, Trip, Ideas. Reorder with a drag. Rename or add pages anytime. CHECK IT OFF Tap the circle to mark a note done and it gets a clean strikethrough. Completed notes can sink to the bottom automatically. REMINDERS THAT REPEAT Give any note a reminder — one-time, or repeating daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Tapping the notification opens the note. PRIORITIES Flag notes low, normal, or high priority with a colored dot. EVERYWHERE WITH ICLOUD Your notes sync automatically between iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your private iCloud account. No sign-ups, no accounts — and your notes are never visible to us. SAFETY NET Deleted notes wait in Recently Deleted for 30 days, so an accidental swipe never costs you a list. Simple Notes Widget is free, with no ads and no tracking.
