Scan your documents. Keep them handy. Share on your terms. Keep IDs, passports, insurance, contracts and receipts in one place on iPhone and iPad. SCAN AND ORGANIZE Scan paper documents or import from Files and Photos. Review the details before saving, organize documents in personal folders and search recognized text. DATES WITHOUT RETYPING Amano suggests expiry dates. You check and confirm them. Set a reminder before a document expires. SHARE COPIES Add a signature or watermark to supported PDF and image copies. Say who the copy is for and why, while leaving your stored original unchanged. A watermark communicates intended use; it cannot prevent someone copying or reusing a file. COPY USEFUL DETAILS Extract useful information from your documents on your device. Copy one field or all extracted details. Check the results against the original. Smart extraction requires a compatible device with Apple Intelligence enabled and its model downloaded; availability also depends on supported languages and regions. PERSONAL iCLOUD BACKUP Keep documents on your device and optionally back them up in your own iCloud account. No Amano account is required. Storage depends on available device and iCloud space. 7 DAYS FREE. THEN PAY ONCE. New customers get seven days with all features unlocked, subject to device availability. Purchase permanent access whenever you choose. No subscription and no automatic charge. After the trial, saved documents remain viewable and exportable as plain copies, without adding an Amano signature or watermark. Previously extracted information remains copyable. A purchase is required to keep adding documents and using paid features. If you first downloaded Amano from the App Store before this trial release went live, you keep full access permanently at no extra cost. Existing purchases remain valid. Made by M&D in Madrid.

Singlenote is a notes app with a single note. Always open, always at hand, nothing to organize. Most note apps ask you to manage notebooks, tags, and folders before you can write anything down. Singlenote skips all of that. Open the app and you're straight into your note: the one place for the door code, your Wi-Fi password, a booking reference, your work schedule, or whatever you need to check again and again. WRITE AND FORMAT Bold, italic, links, bullet lists, numbered lists, and checklists. Paste in Markdown from anywhere and it formats itself. ADD IMAGES Drop in photos of tickets, IDs, receipts, or anything else worth keeping close. Drag to reorder them, tap to view full-screen with pinch-to-zoom. ADD PDFs WITH SINGLENOTE PRO Add a PDF and each page appears in your note like a photo. View and zoom any page, download it as an image, copy it, or delete it. PDFs are part of Singlenote Pro, a monthly or yearly subscription. Everything else in Singlenote stays free. If Pro ends, the pages already in your note stay available. SHARE IN A TAP Send your note to WhatsApp, email, or any app, formatting intact. Share text, images, or PDFs into Singlenote from other apps too, straight into your note. LOCK IT WHEN YOU'RE DONE Switch to read-only with one tap so nothing gets edited by accident, then unlock to keep writing. MAKE IT YOURS Light, dark, or automatic. Three text sizes. Six languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Italian. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your note stays on your device. We never see it, store it, or back it up on our servers. Singlenote collects a small amount of anonymous usage data to help us improve the app: things like note length or which tools get used, never your note content. Turn it off any time in Settings. Purchases go through the App Store, and we never see your payment details. One note. That's the whole app. Terms of Use: https://singlenote.app/terms-of-use

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Amano at every 2 days against Singlenote's every 9 days. Singlenote's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
