Linkpoche

Links you save from social apps and websites pile up unopened. Linkpoche gathers them in one Inbox, and you put each one away in a pouch with a single swipe. Saving is free, with no limit on how many. No ads, no account. Tap Share in another app and choose Linkpoche; the share sheet closes and you stay where you were. Screenshots go in the same way. SORT WITH ONE SWIPE - Flick the top link down into a pouch. Your pouches sit along the bottom, within reach of your thumb. - Swipe left to delete, right for Read later. - Undo, plus Recently Deleted for your last 50 deleted links. - Make up to 8 pouches free, with pouches inside them. Pick a name, a color, and an icon for each. SCREENSHOTS, TOO - Share up to 10 at a time from Photos, or tap + on Home and choose Add screenshots. - On your iPhone, Linkpoche reads text, QR codes, web addresses, phone numbers, and addresses, in Japanese and English. If it finds a web address, it saves the link with its preview and keeps the screenshot with it. - Copy what it found, or select text with Live Text on supported iPhones. Small or handwritten text can be missed. FIND THEM AGAIN - Search everything, or one pouch, including text read from screenshots. On iOS 17 or later, search also finds links close in meaning. - Filter by unread, read, or favorites, or sort by Recommended. - For you shows up to 10 links from your pouches each day. - Set a one-time reminder on any link. - A Home Screen widget (iOS 17 or later), iPhone search, and a Save Link action in Shortcuts. LINKPOCHE PLUS (IN-APP PURCHASE) A one-time purchase, not a subscription. Lock pouches (Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode to open), hide pouches until you choose to show them, make up to 24 pouches, use every color plus 12 patterns, put a photo or one of 16 new icons on a pouch, and repeat reminders on the days you choose. Anyone who can unlock your iPhone can open a locked pouch. ON-DEVICE AI WITH APPLE INTELLIGENCE On iPhone 15 Pro or later with iOS 26 or later and Apple Intelligence on, Apple's on-device model can summarize articles (summaries may not be accurate), suggest a pouch for each link or for up to 50 at once, title screenshots, and pick older links close to your recent saves. Nothing is filed for you, and nothing leaves your iPhone for it. Without it, suggestions use the pouch you chose before for the same site. WHAT GOES OVER THE NETWORK There is no Linkpoche server. When you save a link, your iPhone fetches that page directly for its title, picture, description, icon, and article text. The text is used for the read time and summary, then discarded. For posts and videos on some services, such as X and YouTube, Linkpoche also asks that service's public embed endpoint. Those sites see the request as they would from a browser. Screenshots are read on your iPhone and not uploaded. For searching by meaning, iOS may download language files from Apple. No analytics, no ads, no tracking. WHAT A PREVIEW CAN SHOW - Linkpoche shows what a site publishes for previews and never signs in, so pages behind a login give little. The link is still saved and opens. - For links, Linkpoche keeps the address and preview, not a copy of the page, so opening one needs a connection. A screenshot is kept as a resized copy without location data. YOUR DATA - Export everything as one zip file, locked and hidden pouches included. The zip file isn't locked. Import only adds. - No sync between devices. To move to a new iPhone, export and import, or use your iPhone backup. iPhone only, iOS 16 or later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EZ Notepad plus at none against Linkpoche's 1. EZ Notepad plus also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Linkpoche's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
