SlideJot
Read full descriptionHide full description
SlideJot is a tiny jot pad for the thoughts you'd otherwise lose — the idea in line at the coffee shop, the sentence you'll want later, the link you don't know where to file yet. A jot is lighter than a note and more durable than the clipboard. Open the app, type, done. No folders to choose, no titles to invent, no formatting decisions. Organize later — or never. CAPTURE FIRST, ORGANIZE LATER • Start a new jot in one tap and just write • Everything autosaves as you type • Pin the jots you keep coming back to • Deleted jots go to Trash, so nothing is lost by accident FIND WHAT YOU PARKED • Fast full-text search across your current jots • The messy fragment you saved becomes useful again when you can actually find it MORE THAN PLAIN TEXT • Choose images with Apple's system Photos picker or take one with the camera • Add code blocks and section blocks from the keyboard toolbar • Undo and redo, right where you type • Adjustable editor font size, plus light, dark, or system appearance BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • On iPad, a two-column layout keeps your list and editor side by side • Keyboard shortcuts for common actions when a hardware keyboard is attached OPTIONAL ICLOUD SYNC • Flip one switch to sync jots and images across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Sync uses your own iCloud account — we never see your data • Local editing works offline; pending changes sync after a connection is available PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no email required • No ads, no analytics, no trackers, no third-party SDKs • Your jots live on your device, and in your own iCloud only if you enable sync FREE, WITH NOTHING TO UNLOCK SlideJot for iOS is completely free: no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no paywall. SlideJot for Mac — a slide-out jot panel that lives at the edge of your screen — is available separately and syncs with the iOS app through iCloud. Stay draft. Stay messy. Keep the line worth keeping.

Nib is a writing app that stays out of your way. Notes are for catching a thought: open Nib, start typing. Pages are for real writing, with headings, an outline you can jump through, and images. Everything stays on your device. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Nib keeps a version history of every page, so you can go back to what you wrote before. Pin what matters, and restore what you trash. Your writing is never locked in. Export any page as Markdown, or save a full backup of your whole library, free forever. On iPad, Nib works with a hardware keyboard, with shortcuts and a command palette. NIB PLUS • Encrypted sync between your iPhone and iPad, with a sync code only you hold. The server stores copies it cannot read. • An encrypted backup off your device, restorable with your sync code. • Export to Word, PDF and HTML. • Unlimited version history. Without Plus, Nib keeps the last 20 versions of each document. • A daily word goal, with a count of days in a row. Nib Plus is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly, with a free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase or at the end of the trial. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SlideJot at none against Nib's 2. Nib's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
