Note1
Read full descriptionHide full description
Note1 keeps one note in front of you. No folders. No lists. No endless scrolling. You open the app and your note is already there, ready to edit. PIN IT WHERE YOU LOOK Pin a note to your Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island. A phone number you just heard, a parking spot, a shopping list, the thing you must not forget today. Glance at your phone and it is there. THREE NOTES, ONE SWIPE APART Swipe left and right to move between your notes. Each one can be pinned on its own, so you can keep today's errand on the Lock Screen while the other notes wait. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Put your note on the Home Screen. Choose which note each widget shows, place several, and tap one to jump straight to that note. MADE TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY - Opens straight into your note - Adjustable text size and alignment - Minimal display option for the Dynamic Island so a glance does not reveal everything - Works offline. No account, no sign-up YOUR NOTES STAY YOURS Notes are stored on your device. We have no servers and cannot read what you write. FREE AND PRO The first note is free, forever. Note1 Pro unlocks all three notes for a monthly subscription. Subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

Wake the screen. There's your list. The fresh meat's going fast. Your list shouldn't take twelve apps to find. ShowMeTheNote holds one note. Not a folder of notes, not a notebook β one. It's already open when you launch, already there when you glance at your Lock Screen, and it never asks you which note you meant. ONE NOTE, ALWAYS OPEN Open the app and you're typing. Nothing to name, nothing to file. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Tap the neon sign and your note lights up the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so it's there while you shop, cook or pack. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Small, medium and large widgets, plus a Lock Screen widget, all showing the note you're writing. TICK IT OFF Turn any line into a checklist item and tap the circle as you go. ARCHIVE, DON'T LOSE Done with a list? Archive it and start fresh. Search the archive when you need it back, then make it the active note again in one tap. YOURS ALONE Notes sync across your devices through your own iCloud account. No sign-up, no account, no tracking, nothing collected. FOUR LOOKS Navy & Ivory, Terracotta, Ochre and Sage, in light or dark.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ShowMeTheNote at none against Note1's 1. ShowMeTheNote also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). Note1's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
