Read full description

Möbius Sync brings Syncthing to your iPhone or iPad, allowing you to synchronize selected files between iOS devices and other devices supported by Syncthing, without the need for any cloud service. Supports multiple folders and multiple remote devices. Synchronized folders can be created: 1. in the Möbius Sync sandbox and files can be added to and retrieved from shared folders via the iOS Files app; or 2. (PAID feature) by accessing other apps' sandboxes. This feature is EXPERIMENTAL and may break other app's functionality; or 3. (PAID featured) iOS Photo Library folders can be exported to other devices send-only. Uses the open-source Syncthing engine internally. Usage within the Möbius Sync sandbox is free up to 20MB. Unlimited file sync, including files in other apps' sanboxes is available for a one-time purchase. NOTE: The functionality unlocked by in-app purchase is identical to that in Möbius Sync Pro (which is purchased up-front).

About

Resumable Recorder

Features
Read full description

Resumable Recorder is a private voice recorder for ideas, meetings and lectures that don't fit into one take. STOP NOW, RESUME LATER Stop a recording and come back to it whenever you're ready. Each time you resume, Resumable adds a new part to the same memo. Playback runs through the whole memo, with no separate files to stitch together. BUILT NOT TO LOSE AUDIO Resumable saves your recording as it goes. If the app is interrupted or closed unexpectedly, it recovers the audio recorded up to that moment the next time you open it. CONTROL IT FROM THE LOCK SCREEN A Live Activity shows your recording on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Pause, stop or drop a bookmark without unlocking. Your bookmark count updates as you tap. To resume, tap Resume and the app opens and continues the same memo. BOOKMARKS AND NOTES Mark important moments while recording or listening, add a short note, and jump straight back to them later. Bookmarks appear on the memo's waveform. ON-DEVICE TRANSCRIPTS Turn any memo into text right on your iPhone. Tap a word in the transcript to jump to that moment in the audio. Your audio is never uploaded for transcription. ORGANIZE AND FIND Sort memos into folders. Search across memo titles, transcripts, bookmark notes and folder names. LISTEN YOUR WAY See each memo's waveform, skip back or ahead 15 seconds, and play at 1×, 1.5× or 2× speed. SHARE WHAT YOU NEED Share a memo as an audio file, or share its transcript as text or as a .txt file. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No ads. No tracking. Your recordings, transcripts and notes stay on your iPhone. Deleted memos go to Recently Deleted for 30 days, so you can restore them if you change your mind. Requires iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Transcription uses Apple's on-device speech recognition; on iOS 26, your iPhone may download Apple's speech model the first time you transcribe.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Möbius Sync at Free against Resumable Recorder's $3.99. Möbius Sync also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Resumable Recorder's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads there is nothing between them.
