FlatNote vs Confera

FlatNote is a markdown notes app for people who want their writing to stay plain, portable, and theirs. It runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and your notes sync across all of them through your own iCloud, or stay in a folder you choose. Type markdown and watch it format as you go. Headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, links, quotes, bullet lists, and tappable checkboxes all render while you write. The raw symbols stay out of your way and reappear only on the line you are editing, so you always know exactly what you typed. WHAT YOU GET - Live formatting. See the result as you type, with a one minute reference note included. - Photos in your notes. Paste an image or attach one; it is saved next to the note as an ordinary file, not in a database. - Folders, pins, and sorting. Organize notes into real directories and keep the ones you use on top. - Real checkboxes. Tap to check things off, right in the note. - Find in a note. Search the open note and jump between highlighted matches. - Quick formatting. A formatting bar above the keyboard on iPhone and iPad, and standard shortcuts on Mac. - Find your notes fast. Search the whole library by title or content. YOUR WORDS BELONG TO YOU - Every note is a plain .md file. No proprietary format, no lock-in, readable in any app, on any device, years from now. - Your notes live in your iCloud and sync across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac automatically, signed in with your Apple ID. No separate account to make. - Export carries everything. Share any note as markdown, with its pictures included, or export your whole library as one zip of ordinary files. The files are also right there in the Files app on iOS and Finder on Mac. - Delete is honest. Deleted notes go to Trash, where they can be recovered. QUIET BY DESIGN - No ads. No tracking. No analytics. Nothing about you leaves your devices and your iCloud. - Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, in light and dark. FlatNote keeps the format simple so you can keep your thinking clear.

Confera helps you keep track of everything that happens at a conference, from the opening keynote to the conversations you have in the hallway. CAPTURE THINGS AS THEY HAPPEN Record a session with one tap, take photos of slides and whiteboards, and add quick notes or action items without losing focus on the speaker. GET A CLEAR SUMMARY OF EACH SESSION After a session, Confera turns your recording into an organized brief with the main takeaways, decisions, action items, and notable quotes. When it’s time to share what you learned, you won’t have to start from scratch. KEEP UP WITH YOUR FOLLOW-UPS Action items are collected in one place, so it’s easy to see what still needs your attention. Confera reminds you at the end of the day and keeps important tasks visible until you complete them. REMEMBER THE PEOPLE YOU MEET Save contacts from your sessions, add a follow-up date, and include a link to their LinkedIn profile or website. Reminders help you reconnect while the conversation is still fresh. SHARE WHAT YOU LEARNED Export session briefs as PDFs, send a highlights email, import your schedule from an ICS calendar file, and add action items to Apple Reminders. STAY IN SYNC ACROSS YOUR DEVICES iCloud keeps your conferences, notes, and follow-ups up to date across your devices. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your next session and open action items at a glance, while Apple Watch complications keep the essentials close by.
