Float
Read full descriptionHide full description
Float is a to-do app with three spaces. Write everything that comes to mind into the Dump space at the bottom: groceries, ideas, someday tasks. Move what you're still deciding on up to the Think space in the middle, and what you'll focus on today to the Focus space at the top. Moving takes one drag: press, lift, and drop. When an item crosses a boundary, the edge ripples under your fingertip. β’ Three spaces β Focus, Think, Dump. Nothing moves on its own. You always decide the order. β’ Drag to move β press and hold to lift, then drop it exactly where you want. Move with a button and the boundary bounces gently as the item passes. β’ Several at once β tap to select multiple items and move them together. β’ One-handed mode β one button brings all three spaces down to your thumb. β’ Double-tap to complete β a hand-drawn line strikes through and the item goes to the archive. Deleted by mistake? Undo right away. β’ Repeat reminders β things you can't forget come back every 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 3 hours. Complete the item and the reminder stops. β’ Backup and restore β export and import a file. Free for everyone. β’ Themes β nine colors. The app icon can match your theme. Premium (one-time purchase) unlocks eight themes and expands dump pages from 3 to 7. Everything else is free. No account, no ads, no tracking. Your data stays on your device.

You are in the meeting, so you are not taking notes. Minutae records it and writes it down on your iPhone. WHAT YOU GET, THE MOMENT IT ENDS A transcript with timestamps you can scroll, search and send. Tap any line to hear that moment again. IT SAYS WHAT IT MISSED If a call or another app takes the microphone, most recorders lose that stretch silently. Minutae marks it in the transcript and shows what percentage of the meeting it actually recorded. A partly recorded meeting is never presented as a whole one. ON YOUR IPHONE, NOT ON A SERVER Speech becomes text on the device. There is no account, no upload and no server β the recording and the text stay where they were made, and the app works with no signal at all. MARK THE MOMENT THAT MATTERS One tap while recording drops a bookmark, so the decision you will need on Thursday is easy to find on Thursday. SEND IT ON Export as plain text or Markdown, with the timestamps and the gaps included. ON DEVICES WITH APPLE INTELLIGENCE Minutae can summarise a meeting and pull out the action items, again without sending anything anywhere. TRANSCRIPTION LANGUAGES Text is produced in English, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Cantonese. A meeting in another language is still recorded β you get the audio without the text. Minutae is a one-time purchase. It is not a subscription, it does not renew, and there is nothing to cancel.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Float at every 2 days against Minutae's every 6 days. Float also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
