- It exports to Markdown, CSV and JSON, which suits people who keep notes in Notion or Obsidian.
- It has its own grid, list and calendar views for your screenshots.
Where is Shotodo different?
- Your tasks land in the Apple apps you already check every day, so there is no second list to remember.
- One screenshot can give you a calendar event, a reminder and a new contact at the same time.
- Bills become a reminder named after the company, with the due date and amount.
- A missed call list becomes a "call back" reminder for each person.
- It can open by itself every time you take a screenshot.
- No ad tracking. Your screenshot image never leaves your iPhone.
Who should pick which?
If you want a free place to collect screenshots and sort them later, SnapLater is a fair choice. If you want the screenshot to turn into the reminder or calendar event right away, with nothing left to sort, try Shotodo free for 7 days.
