Noted vs Supernotes

Noted records audio and links timestamped notes to recordings for lectures, meetings, interviews, and conferences. Live transcription displays speech as it happens and labels speakers. Noted+ can summarize key points, decisions, and action items, with each plan allowing up to 100 summaries a month. Ask AI can answer questions about recordings and notes and jump to relevant audio, but requires a supported Apple device with Apple Intelligence enabled. Intelligent Playback detects and skips background noise and silence. Notes sync through iCloud; third-party cloud services can import files but do not sync notes between devices. The app can use the Apple calendar for reminders linked to notes. Notes can be exported as PDF or plain text, audio as M4A, and notes can be shared with non-users by web link. Noted is available on iOS and macOS and supports offline access. The free download is listed at free. Noted+ Monthly costs $9.99 a month and has no trial; a seven-day trial is listed for the yearly plan, whose price is not provided. The maker says it cannot access created content or imported files, while text or generated transcriptions are sent to Google Gemini for AI summaries.

Supernotes is a note-taking app that organizes ideas, records, tasks, and lists as digital notecards. Cards can include equations, tables, images, checklists, and emojis, with a soft limit of 1,200 characters. Users can tag, nest, and link cards, search them, and explore their connections with graph views. The apps work offline and merge changes and sync when a device reconnects. Cards can be shared for read-only access or collaborative editing in real time. Supernotes imports from Obsidian, Roam Research, Google Keep, Notion, or Markdown, and exports notes as PDF, JSON, or Markdown. It offers an API and lists integrations including Telegram, Raycast, Pipedream, email, SupaSend, and Funnel. The company says notes are encrypted in transit with SSL and at rest with AES-256, and staff do not access note content without express permission during support. The free Starter plan lists 100 cards. Unlimited costs £6 a month, billed as £72 billed annually, and includes unlimited cards, AI Superpowers, full API and integrations, and priority support.
