Netacho vs ThinkCapture

"Netacho" (Idea Notebook) is a memo app for quickly jotting down, in just a few words, things you want to talk about later and ideas that suddenly come to mind. Something interesting happens, but when you finally get to talk with someone, you cannot remember it. A good idea comes to you, but while you are trying to write it out in detail, it slips away. You want to look back later at an article or page that caught your eye. Netacho helps reduce these small losses. There is no need to write long text. A single phrase that you can recall later is enough. Just like a comedian's notebook of material, you can gradually collect daily events, conversation topics, dreams, realizations, ideas, and interesting web pages. When you have something you want to tell a friend or colleague next time you meet When you want to remember an amusing conversation or a memorable moment When an idea for an app, your work, or daily life comes to mind When you want to record a dream or a thought before you forget it When you want to easily save a page you found interesting in Safari or on social media When you want to keep a small daily moment, like a one line diary Record casually in a single phrase You do not have to write a detailed explanation. You can leave just a short phrase that brings the memory back. Save URLs directly from Safari Just press the share button once, and the page you are viewing is saved to Netacho. The title and thumbnail image are captured automatically, so you can quickly recall the content later. Automatic detection of URLs on the clipboard The app detects a URL you have copied and suggests saving it. You can save it as soon as you return from your browser. Keep photos together with your notes For scenes that are hard to convey with text alone, you can attach up to five photos. Conversation topics and ideas in one place Topics you want to bring up in conversation and your own private ideas can be stored in the same place. Look back whenever you need to By reviewing the notes you have collected, you can recall events and ideas you had forgotten. With status management for "not yet talked about," "talked about," and "keep," you can also retain material you have already used as a record. Every day holds many small moments that photos do not capture and thoughts that exist only in your head. Why not leave just a single phrase about that interesting page or that idea you had, before you forget it?

A link to read later. A task you can't forget. An idea that just popped into your head. Do you keep each of these in a different app? ThinkCapture is one place to drop all three. You don't pick where things go: whether it's a link, a task, or a passing thought, the AI on your device reads it and files it. You never classify. You never tag. You just write. ■ Three apps, in one - Links to read later — send a URL from the share sheet; it's saved with a headline and thumbnail. - Things to do — write "reply to Sam" or "buy milk" and the AI treats it as a task; add a due time and it reminds you. - Ideas and notes — thoughts, things you've learned, and what happened today all go in the same field, and they stay. ■ Why keep them together Storing things separately means deciding, every time, which app this belongs in — enough friction that you often don't write it down at all. Put it all in one place and it becomes impossible to find. Make sorting the AI's job and both problems disappear — and since the sorting never leaves your device, you can pile up anything without worrying. ■ What you can do - Instant capture — write in a single field; saving finishes at once, without waiting for the AI. One tap from Siri, Shortcuts, widgets, or Control Center. - On-device sorting — each note becomes a task, idea, knowledge, reference, journal, waiting, or someday item. Override any result; when it isn't sure it says "unclassified" instead of guessing. - Full-text search — find anything by keyword or tag name, completed items too. - Today — no cluttered inbox. Just today's tasks and your recurring habits. - Calendar — see the days you wrote on, and overlay events from your device's calendar (iCloud, Google, and more). Events are displayed, never changed. - Tags and priority — add your own tags on top of the AI's categories, and set high, medium, or low priority. - Due dates and reminders — set one in a tap; add a time and you get a notification. Recurring reminders too. - Photo attachments, plus a grid layout like paper in a notebook. - Home Screen widget — check today's tasks and capture without opening the app. - Backup and restore — export everything as JSON or Markdown anytime and import it back; restoring merges, never deletes. - iCloud sync (optional, off by default) — only about where data is stored; sorting still runs on device. ■ Pricing Writing, sorting, searching and exporting are free, with no limit on how much you capture. Everything above stays free and unlimited. ThinkCapture Pro is an optional subscription for how the app looks and where it lives: color themes (green, blue, purple), a board view that flips through your Inbox column by column, and a Lock Screen card for checking off today's tasks. In Japan it is ¥2,500 per year (about ¥208 a month, roughly 48% less than monthly) or ¥400 per month; your region's price is shown in the app. The yearly plan starts with a 14-day free trial for people new to the subscription. Both plans renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can cancel anytime under Settings > your Apple Account > Subscriptions. Without Pro, nothing is locked away and nothing stops you from writing more.

What you write is never sent to an outside server to be classified, and no account is required. Saving a link fetches only that page's public headline and thumbnail. ■ Requirements Automatic sorting requires iOS 26 or later on an Apple Intelligence–capable device. On other devices you tap the classification badge to pick a category by hand — it still works as an ordinary notes and tasks app. Don't classify. Don't organize. Just write.
