Notalio é um bloco de notas simples. Ele guarda sozinho, não tem conta, não tem nuvem e não pede nada de você. TRÊS CADERNOS, UM INTERRUPTOR Texto corrido, tabela de duas colunas e lista de coisas pra fazer. O interruptor troca entre eles, e cada um é um arquivo separado no seu aparelho. A lista tem subtarefa, prioridade, prazo e quanto já foi feito — contado na hora, das caixinhas, nunca guardado num canto onde possa discordar do que você está vendo. SEUS ARQUIVOS SÃO ARQUIVOS DE VERDADE texto.txt, tabela.csv e checklist.md, na pasta do Notalio dentro do aplicativo Arquivos. Nada de formato só nosso: se o Notalio sumir do mundo amanhã, os três abrem em qualquer editor. O checklist é Markdown de caixinhas, o mesmo que o GitHub e o Obsidian desenham. DÁ PRA VOLTAR ATRÁS Escrever por cima guarda o de antes, numa pasta "Versões anteriores" ao lado dos seus arquivos. Trazer uma versão de volta também guarda o de agora — nem isso é caminho sem volta. A GAVETA Uma anotação à parte, pro que você não quer no meio do resto. Dá pra pôr senha nela: o conteúdo é fechado com Argon2id e XChaCha20-Poly1305, no próprio aparelho. Sem a senha ninguém lê. Três coisas ditas na cara, e não na letra miúda: não existe recuperação, trancar apaga as versões anteriores da gaveta, e sem senha ela é um arquivo de texto comum. AS FERRAMENTAS Marca-texto, riscar, listas com marcador ou numeradas, limpar formatação, cor da letra, e localizar e substituir com contador de resultados. Números e pontuação com cor própria, em qualquer tema. O QUE ELE NÃO FAZ Não tem conta. Não tem nuvem. Não tem anúncio. Não tem assinatura. Não conta quantas vezes você usou. Não pede avaliação. Não manda notificação. E não existe uma linha de rede no programa inteiro: nada do que você escreve sai do seu aparelho, porque não há por onde sair. O que eu não posso prometer: se o aparelho desligar naqueles sete décimos de segundo entre a sua última tecla e a hora em que eu gravo, essas últimas palavras não chegaram no disco. É o único buraco que existe, e ele está escrito na tela Sobre do programa. De graça, inteiro. Sem versão paga, sem parte trancada. Produzido por Blajeen Labs.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Notalio at none against Duet Display's 6. Notalio also leads on ads (none vs shown). Duet Display's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
