Starply vs connote

Starply holds two kinds of writing. One is sending stars to your future self. Answer the question that surfaces today and send it off as a star. A month or a year later, it arrives again. By then you've changed a little, so you write back to who you were and leave a new question behind. Slowly, letters travel back and forth between you and yourself. On days when writing feels hard, leave your voice instead. Hearing yourself again, long after, brings that day back more vividly than anything you wrote down. The other is simply today's diary. It doesn't have to be grand. One line about your day and one mood is enough. Your moods and energy build up as colors on the calendar, and the stats show at a glance how you've really been doing. The stars you've sent stay up in the night sky. The farther away one floats, the longer until it arrives. Sometimes just looking up at that sky is enough to quiet your mind. If you find yourself wanting to write more often and at greater length, there's Starply Premium. Basic journaling and opening the stars that arrive are always free. Write down today's heart. For your future self, and for who you are today. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

One input box. That's the whole app. connote is a notes app that never asks you to organize. No folders to choose, no titles to invent, no deciding where things go — all the steps that make you put off writing are gone. Write what's on your mind, hit save, and the app reads the rest out of your words. ◆ Notes that connect Mention the same person, project, or word again and your earlier notes appear alongside — automatically. Link directly with [[title]] when you want to. Open an old note and everything written about it since follows. Notes don't pile up; they connect. ◆ Dates and tags The moment you save is where a note lives: Today, Yesterday, then by date. Any #tag you type in the text becomes its label. There is no separate metadata to fill in. ◆ Photos as instant prints Attach a photo and it's developed into a square, film-toned print with your note written underneath. Several photos stack like real prints and fan out with a tap. Share a note and photo and caption leave as one image. ◆ Todos in one tap Tap the check as you write — that's a todo. The app never guesses from your phrasing; only what you mark becomes a list. ◆ Graph Everything you've written becomes a map of links, tags, and days. ◆ Yours alone No account, no server, no ads. Notes live on your device and in your iCloud, syncing quietly between your own devices. JSON backup and Markdown export included (opens as-is in Obsidian). The line you write today connects to what you'll write tomorrow.
