connote vs dotdot

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.

Dots gather into your life. dotdot is a diary that shows time as dots. Write a line and the dot for that moment takes the color you chose. The days behind you stay as dots that carry meaning. ■ Easy to write Tap + and write — that's it. If you pick nothing else, it's saved for right now. Date, time, all day and color open only when you need them. ■ Look back in dots Today is one dot per hour. This week, this month and this year are one dot per day. Life is one dot per month or week. When a dot holds several entries, it's divided like a clock face, in the order they happened. Swipe up to read that day's, week's or month's entries. ■ Plans ahead Write for a time that hasn't come yet and it becomes a plan: a small point under an empty dot that fills in by itself when the time arrives. ■ Books, movies, travel Keep the books you read, the movies you watched and the places you went, with a star rating. Trips abroad turn their dot into the country's flag, and Moments gathers them like a bookshelf. ■ Widgets and lock screen Home and Lock Screen widgets update themselves on the hour and at midnight.
