These pages put Mimir next to other note-taking and thinking apps, one
app per page. Each page starts with which app suits whom, then covers
what the app is, where it's heading, what it costs, what people say about
it, and how it differs from Mimir.

Every fact on these pages was checked on 2026-10-11. Apps change, and
prices most of all, so check the other app's own site before you decide.
Prices are in US dollars, as each app lists them.

Each page gives the other app's status in one of four words:

| Status | Means |
| --- | --- |
| New | First released, or rebuilt, within the last two years. |
| Active | Updated within the last few months. |
| Maintenance | Still available and fixed, with no new features. |
| Not supported | No longer updated. |

## Mimir in brief

So you can read each page on its own, here's what the comparisons
assume about Mimir:

- Mimir runs on Mac, iPhone, and iPad today. Writing, linking, search,
  and sync work the same on each.
- Your notes live in one database file on each device, and Mimir works
  fully offline. There's no account. See
  [Where your notes live](/where-your-notes-live).
- Mimir is a bullet outliner that opens on today's
  [journal](/the-journal) entry. Typing `[[` links to a page and creates
  it if it doesn't exist.
- Mimir is free on every device. [Cloud Sync](/sync-across-devices) is
  the one paid feature, a one-time purchase. It encrypts your notes on
  your device before sending them, and keeps both versions when two
  devices disagree.
