Built for face blindness & new-name overload. If you struggle to put names to faces — whether it's prosopagnosia, a new job, teaching, healthcare, or just meeting a lot of people — Recognote is a calm place to keep them straight. Private by design. No account. No cloud. Your photos, names, and notes never leave your phone. Back up and restore with a single file, whenever you choose. How it works Add a person: photo, name, and any hint that helps you remember (where you met, a detail, tags). Sort people into colorful folders — a class, a team, a client list. Search across everyone, or filter by folder and tag, in a moment. Quiz yourself, gently — hide names and tap to reveal. No streaks, no pressure, no scores. What Recognote is not. It's not a social network, not a contact syncer, not a spaced-repetition drill. It's a quiet, personal memory aid — yours alone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HandyApp at none against Recognote's 1. HandyApp also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
