Folio vs Pyramid Notes

Your new home for everything worth saving. Pocket is shutting down — but the spirit of it lives on in Folio. Folio is a read-it-later app for people who love to read, watch, and learn. Save articles, videos, and stories from anywhere, and come back to them when you’re ready — on your phone, tablet, or computer. It’s like bookmarking, but better. Clean, simple, and built for focus. What you can do with Folio: • Save in one tap – From your browser, favorite apps, or anywhere you find something interesting. • Read without distractions – Enjoy a quiet, beautifully formatted reading experience — just you and the words. • Take your time – Everything you save is synced across devices and available offline. • Listen instead – Turn articles into audio and catch up on your saved stories hands-free. • Find new favorites – Get thoughtful recommendations based on what you save. Folio turns the web into your personal library. Whether you’re commuting, relaxing, or deep in research, it’s the best place to save what matters — and come back when it matters most.

Pyramid is a quiet and private place to write your notes, synced automatically between your phone and Mac. You write. It saves. Everything lives as plain Markdown on disk. Real .md files in iCloud Drive, sitting in a folder you can open in Finder and read with anything. Notes, lists, half-formed thoughts, the daily log you keep meaning to keep. All your own data, completely portable and yours. The formatting stays visible while you write, so a heading looks like a heading and a bullet looks like a bullet, and nothing hides behind a menu. Turn the syntax off if you'd rather not see it. Put a checkbox anywhere and it becomes a todo. Pyramid finds them all, across every file, and tells you which line each one came from. Tag things. Nest the tags if it helps: personal can have daily underneath it. Search reads the insides of your files, not just their names. It syncs through iCloud on its own. Nothing to set up, no account to make, no settings to go and find. A small number of things, done plainly, and then it gets out of the way so you can focus on your work.
