Spark Memo

Spark Memo is for the thought you will lose if you stop to file it. NO TITLES, NO FOLDERS, NOTHING TO ORGANIZE Open the app and the cursor is already waiting. Type, save, done. There is nothing to name, nothing to sort into, and nothing to tidy up later. YOU KNOW IT SAVED BECAUSE IT EXPLODES Every save detonates on screen. It is deliberately, uselessly spectacular, and it means you never have to check whether the note actually went in. FIND IT AGAIN LATER Search digs through everything you have written. That is the whole filing system, and it is enough. Free, no ads, no in-app purchases, no account required. Your notes stay on your device.

The clearest difference is update cadence: Instant Voice Playback at every 3 weeks against Spark Memo's every 3 months. Instant Voice Playback also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
