LeafTrove
Read full descriptionHide full description
No computer needed: connect your eReader to iPhone or iPad with a cable, and your highlights and notes come in. Set up Wi-Fi wireless updates once and skip the cable after that: when you have new highlights, tap send on the eReader and they reach LeafTrove (subscription; some models and firmware). Each day, one of them is waiting on your Home Screen and Lock Screen to reread. BEFORE YOU START: A COMPATIBLE PHYSICAL EREADER IS REQUIRED LeafTrove imports the highlights and notes you made on a physical eReader. Not every brand or model works, and an ebook account or a phone reading app alone is not enough. Check your model and firmware on the support page first: https://homadeworks.com/en/apps/leaftrove/support/ No eReader yet? Open the app and explore the sample library, no sign-in needed. PLUG IN AND BRING THEM IN ⢠Read by cable (free): connect the eReader to an iPhone or iPad with USB-C. The first time, a guide walks you through it; after that, "Update notes" usually reads it straight away. No computer needed, and the eReader is never changed. ⢠No cable after that (subscription): an iPhone or iPad with USB-C can set up Wi-Fi wireless updates on its own, with no computer and no pairing code. Then tap send on the eReader for new highlights and open LeafTrove to update. Some models and firmware. ⢠Export from a computer (free, also for Lightning): open the LeafTrove export page in Chrome or Edge on a Mac or Windows computer, nothing to install, then send the file to your iPhone or iPad. Your notes are processed only on your computer. Imports text highlights and notes from EPUB/KEPUB books; not PDF, handwritten notes or book text. Importing again adds what's new and keeps your favorites, thoughts, tags and review plans. With two eReaders, the same book shows once on your bookshelf. REREAD EVERY DAY, FREE ⢠Today's pick: one note a day, right when you open the app. Swipe to look back at earlier picks. ⢠Home Screen widget and a daily reminder: a note at the time you choose; tap to read it in full. ⢠Favorite the lines you love; search titles, authors, highlights and thoughts; read offline. WRITE DOWN YOUR THOUGHTS ⢠My thoughts: write beside any highlight, stored encrypted on the device. The free plan includes 20, and thoughts you've written always stay readable, editable and exportable. ⢠My collections: keep the books or topics you return to as ready-made lists. ⢠Share notes, or export them as Markdown or JSON. MAKE REREADING A HABIT WITH A SUBSCRIPTION ⢠Wi-Fi wireless updates (supported models): no cable after setup. ⢠Unlimited thoughts; organize, filter and search notes with tags. ⢠Review list: put notes you want to read again on a list and LeafTrove schedules them. ⢠Up to 5 reminders a day, with random time windows and quiet hours. ⢠Medium, large, iPad extra-large and Lock Screen widgets; Previous and Next on medium and larger. ⢠iCloud sync: your library, favorites, thoughts, tags and collections across iPhone and iPad, through your own iCloud. Monthly and yearly plans have the same features; eligible users can try it free for 1 month. The actual price, currency and eligibility are shown on Apple's purchase sheet. After the trial, the plan renews automatically and can be canceled anytime in your Apple subscription settings. If you stop subscribing, imported notes stay available to read, search and export. The interface is available in English, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Dutch, Italian and Spanish. The computer assistant and the eReader menu are in Traditional Chinese for now. LeafTrove is independently developed by HoMade Works as a tool for organizing and rereading your own notes. It does not provide an ebook store, book text, or any eReader maker's official service. Please make sure what you import and share complies with applicable terms and rights. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: LeafTrove at every 2 days against Mish's weekly. Mish's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
