Snug
Read full descriptionHide full description
Snug is a warm, private room for your mind. A place to write what you'd never say out loud β thoughts, worries, plans, the raw first draft of an idea. No one reads this. Not even us. Snug is local-first: your notes live on your device, offline by default. Nothing leaves your phone unless you choose to turn on Sync β and when you do, everything is end-to-end encrypted, so only you can ever read it. WHY SNUG β’ Local-first & offline β your notes stay on your device and are always there, even with no connection. β’ End-to-end encrypted sync (optional) β turn it on to keep your notes safe across your devices. They're encrypted before they ever leave your phone; we can never read them. β’ A calm place to write β a beautiful, distraction-free editor with Markdown, rich text, images, and voice notes. β’ Lock it down β protect Snug with a PIN or Face ID. β’ Warm by design β soft, cozy, and quiet. Built for thinking, not for an audience. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Most apps want your data. Snug wants you to forget it's even connected. Your words are yours β kept on your device, encrypted if they ever travel, never sold, never mined, never read. Write freely. It's just you here. snugthink.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Snug at none against OpenPage's 1. Snug also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.1). OpenPage's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
