CoreNote Notes vs Nib

CoreNote is a private notes app. No account, no ads, no sign-in. Your notes sync between your iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your own iCloud. Each note has its own title, body, and ink color, written on a floating card instead of a full-page sheet. Bookmark the ones you come back to. Deleted notes sit in Trash for 7 days, then clear themselves. Empty notes are kept, not thrown away. Accounts is a single page: write down an email address or phone number, then list the apps you registered with it. Grouped by email and phone automatically. It records where you signed up — names only, nothing else. What it does: - Notes with a separate title line, body, and one of four ink colors - Bookmarks, and a 7-day Trash - Accounts: which email or phone signed up for what, on one page - Four canvases: Amber, White, Slate, and Pine - One app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, synced through your private iCloud database What it doesn't do: No account, no sharing, no search, no attachments, no analytics SDKs. It does not store passwords and is not a password manager. Notes are kept on your devices and in your own private iCloud, which we cannot read; nothing is sent to us, analyzed, or shared. Without iCloud, everything stays on the device.

Nib is a quiet place to write, on your iPhone and iPad. No account, no ads, no tracking: your writing stays on your device. WRITE • Notes for catching a thought, and pages for real writing, with headings, an outline to jump through, images and tables. • Write a book: gather a folder's pages into a manuscript and drag the chapters into order. • Format from the bar above the keyboard: checklists, lists, bold, italic, underline and highlight. • Link notes as you write: type [[ and pick one. • Leave notes to self on a passage, and write TK for anything still to come. • Hear your writing read aloud, sentence by sentence. • Set a daily word goal and keep a streak. • Turn on the style check, and Nib counts filler, passive voice, clichés and long sentences. KEEP IT IN ORDER • Your notes and pages as cards in your library. Pin what matters. • Folders, and categories in a colour: three of each are free. • 30 days of version history: compare any version with now, and bring back what you need. • Restore anything you trash. CATCH A THOUGHT • Send text or a link to Nib from the share sheet, add a note with Shortcuts, or start one from a widget. • Set a reminder on any note. • Paste a screenshot, and its words come in as text you can edit (iOS and iPadOS 26 and later). BRING IT IN, TAKE IT OUT • Import from Simplenote, Bear, Evernote, Notesnook, Markdown or a Word document. • Export any page as Markdown, or save a backup of your whole library, free forever. • Share a draft by link, read-only, for a week. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Everything you write stays on your device unless you share a draft or turn on sync. • No accounts, no ads and no tracking. • Lock Nib with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. STAMPS • A free pack of stamps every day, and coins for coming back. Collect all 300 in the Stampbook, and spend coins on more packs. • In December, each day's pack opens a door of a Christmas calendar. MAKE IT YOURS • Light, dark or one of seven more themes. • Choose the size, width, spacing and typeface of your text in Settings → Customize. NIB PLUS • Your library on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, with encrypted sync and a sync code only you hold. The server stores copies it cannot read. • An encrypted backup off your device, restorable with your sync code. • Shared drafts for up to 90 days, with a password if you like, and more than one at a time. Readers can leave notes that only you see. • Export to Word, PDF and HTML. • A folder's pages compiled into one book: Word, PDF or EPUB. • A second document open beside the one you're writing, on iPad. • All your version history, not just the last 30 days. • A goal and deadline for any document, timed sprints, and a calendar of what you wrote. • The style check's suggestions, underlined in your text. • A vault for chosen notes, with a passcode of its own. • Three more themes: Purple Green, Alien Pink and drcl. • As many folders and categories as you like.
