Kobako β Japanese for βsmall boxβ β is a quick place to put an idea down before it slips away. Kapi, a capybara, lives there and looks after whatever you leave. CATCH IT IN A SECOND β’ Tap the bulb and type or dictate β the idea is saved before the thought is gone β’ Capture straight from a Home Screen widget or a Control Center button β’ Kapi notices a new idea and cheers you on EVERYTHING IN ONE FEED β’ New ideas land in Inbox and lie as cards right on the appβs Home β’ A row of folders sits above the feed: tap one to see only its ideas β’ Sort by newest, oldest, priority or due date β’ An idea that grows gets a fresh page laid over it β up to five, with the earlier thinking still readable underneath β’ Search finds any idea or folder in a few letters CLOSE IT, KEEP IT Tick a card when an idea is done, and it flies into Closed. Nothing disappears: finished ideas rest there, and any of them can be reopened. A QUIET FRIEND Kapi putters about his window library and naps while you are away; a tap wakes him. Once a day, around eight in the evening, he knocks to ask how the day went β and skips it if the app was already opened that evening. AT HOME ON EVERY SCREEN β’ iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo β two panes side by side on iPad in landscape and on the open Duo β’ Dark theme throughout; Reduce Motion honoured everywhere Kapi moves β’ 10 languages YOURS ALONE No account and no sign-in. Your ideas stay on your device. Questions or a hello: hello@kobako.app Terms of Use: https://kobako.app/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Kobako at none against HiGGSi's shown. HiGGSi's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
