Where Apple Notes is the better choice
Everyone around you is on Apple and you share notes with them. You want handwriting, scanned documents and PDF markup inside the note. You lock notes with Face ID and want end-to-end encryption through Advanced Data Protection.
Apple Notes does all of that well, and Notita does not try to.
Using both
Many people keep Apple Notes for long documents and use Notita for the quick note, the task and the WhatsApp message. There is no importer; paste what you need and the AI files it.
Notita
Choose Notita if you want notes filed for you, use Android or Windows as well, or capture from WhatsApp.
Apple Notes
Choose Apple Notes if you are all-Apple and want handwriting, scans and locked notes.
