Ever stood in the shower thinking "wait… when did I last replace this?" Dutiful is the simplest way to track the things you do every so often - and never wonder again. Add a task once (from a library of 120+ ready-made ones, or your own), tell Dutiful how often it should happen, and tap "Did it!" whenever you do it. That's the whole app. It quietly keeps the clock and nudges you - gently, on time - when something's due. PERFECT FOR • Health - dentist, hygienist, eye exam, blood test, meds • Home - water filter, air filter, smoke alarms, deep clean • Car - wash, oil change, tire pressure, service • Personal, pets, hobbies, tech, and life admin - passports, taxes, insurance WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Log in one tap - or swipe, or long-press. It's rare, so it's never in your way. • Reminders that actually fire, right when it's due. • Home & Lock Screen widgets so you can glance at what's coming up. • Colorful, friendly, emoji-first. Never naggy. • No account, no ads, your data stays on your device.

Keep the thought. Save the voice. Remember the song. Minbi is a home for the thoughts and moments you do not want to lose. Write what happened, record how it sounded, add the photos, and attach the song that made it feel like yours. A MEMORY CAN HOLD MORE THAN WORDS Every Minbi entry can bring text, photos, web links, checklists, voice recordings, reminders, and music together. Capture a quick thought or build a richer memory without splitting it across different apps. SAVE THE SOUNDTRACK Attach a song from Apple Music to remember not only what happened, but how the moment felt. Keep the music beside the words, photos, and details it belongs to. KEEP THE VOICE Record a voice note when typing would lose the feeling. Automatic transcription keeps the recording and its words together—and helps you find what was said later. LET MEMORIES FIND YOU AGAIN Add a reminder to bring a thought back when it matters. Explore Lost Thoughts—an endless canvas of things you saved—and rediscover something worth seeing again. MAKE PRIVATE THOUGHTS PLAYFUL Lock a personal note with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. Its words scatter across the screen, turning private writing into a visual secret until you reveal it. SAVE FIRST, ORGANIZE LATER Capture something immediately, then organize it into a Board whenever you are ready. Pin what matters most and search across notes, checklists, and voice transcripts using exact or natural-language searches. SAVE FROM OTHER APPS Use the share extension to keep links, images, and text without interrupting what you are doing. MADE FOR YOUR APPLE DEVICES Use Minbi on iPhone and iPad, with your library kept in sync through iCloud. FEATURES • Notes that combine multiple kinds of content • Apple Music song attachments • Voice recording with automatic transcription • Reminders for saved thoughts • Photos and rich web-link previews • Checklists and to-do items • Locked notes with playful scattered text • Lost Thoughts endless canvas • Boards and pinning • Exact and semantic search • Share extension • iCloud synchronization Some moments begin as a sentence. Others are a voice, a photograph, a song, or simply a feeling you want to return to. Minbi keeps them together. Terms of Use: https://minbi.app/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://minbi.app/privacy/

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Dutiful at daily against Minbi's weekly. Dutiful also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
