Noteline vs PlainScribe

Noteline is a fast, minimal note app for people who write in Markdown. Type a # and it becomes a heading. Type **bold** and it turns bold — right where you typed it. Noteline gives you live preview: your formatting renders inline as you write, so there's no split-screen and no clutter. Just clean text that quietly becomes a clean document. Your notes are plain .md files stored on your device. No account, no sign-in, no servers of ours — and if you want them on your other devices, you can keep the folder in your own iCloud Drive. Open them, back them up, move them, or edit them in any other Markdown app. Noteline works fully offline and stays out of your way. Every note is plain Markdown — the same format AI tools read and write — so your notes stay usable by whatever you reach for next. It's the calm, focused place to think, take notes, and write. Features: • Live preview Markdown — headings, bold, italics, lists, and checkboxes render inline as you type • Local-first — your notes are plain .md files on your device • Works fully offline — no connection required, ever • No account, no sign-in — nothing to set up • Open format — your files stay portable and yours • The format AI speaks — plain Markdown that AI tools read and write directly • Minimal, distraction-free interface • Checklists and task lists for quick to-dos • Fast and lightweight No ads. No tracking. No telemetry. Just notes.

Turn spoken thoughts into editable text. Record or import audio, transcribe it, optionally clean it up, then edit, copy, or share. EDIT WITH YOUR VOICE Tap Voice command and say what you want to do with your text, such as “Translate into English,” “Make this shorter,” or “Rewrite this more formally.” Tap Apply to update your draft. Undo lets you restore the previous text. Customize the voice-command prompt separately in Settings. RECORD LONGER Continue microphone recordings when your iPhone locks or you switch apps. Choose Standard audio quality for smaller files or High for a higher bitrate. Recordings stop safely before your transcription provider’s size or duration limit, with the audio retained until you choose Transcribe or Discard. FEATURES • One-tap recording and continued recording into the same draft • Import MP3, M4A, and WAV audio files • Send supported audio from apps such as Voice Memos • OpenAI GPT Transcribe or ElevenLabs Scribe v2 transcription • Optional Clean Up, Concise, AI Prompt, and custom transformations • Voice commands with an editable prompt and Undo • Edit, copy, and share your text • Multiple color themes YOUR LANGUAGE, YOUR PROMPTS Use Scribe in English, Polish, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Dutch. Built-in prompt instructions follow your app language. Any prompt you edit keeps your changes until you reset it. The AI Prompt option turns a spoken request into a structured prompt for an AI assistant. BRING YOUR OWN API KEY PlainScribe is free to download and use, with no ads, subscription, or PlainScribe account. Add your own OpenAI or ElevenLabs API key for transcription. Voice commands and optional text transformations also require an OpenAI API key. An internet connection is required for AI processing. Any usage charges are billed directly by the provider under its pricing and terms. Credentials are stored securely in your device’s Keychain. Audio is sent directly to the selected transcription provider. For voice commands, the transcribed command and current draft are sent to OpenAI; optional transformations send the new transcript and selected prompt. PlainScribe does not send your content through a separate PlainScribe server. Processing is subject to the selected providers’ terms and privacy policies.
