Weekfolio vs PhotoNotes

Weekfolio is a quiet companion for people who plan on paper. If you love writing by hand but wish your planner didn’t disappear into a drawer at the end of the week, Weekfolio helps you keep what you write — without changing how you plan. Simply take one photo of your weekly planner. Weekfolio stores it securely in your personal iCloud and turns it into a searchable, week-by-week archive. For supported planner layouts, Weekfolio can also recognize events you’ve written down and let you review and add them to your digital calendar — no retyping required. On supported devices, Apple Intelligence can provide optional smart insights: gentle summaries of your week, detected themes, and helpful context — all processed directly on your device. Nothing is sent to external servers. What Weekfolio does • Back up your paper planner, one week at a time • Organize weeks automatically by date • Search across handwritten planner pages • Detect events from your planner and add them to your calendar • Offer optional smart summaries powered by Apple Intelligence • Sync safely via your personal iCloud Designed with care Weekfolio works with many common weekly planner layouts and lets you choose or calibrate your planner style for better results. Everything runs on device wherever possible, with privacy as a first principle. Use Weekfolio alongside your planner — or simply as a quiet archive of weeks that mattered. Paper planning, understood.

PhotoNotes: Light Notes helps you capture everyday notes from photos, text, voice, reminders, and documents without cluttering your camera roll. Save a receipt, sticky note, whiteboard, label, document, errand, or idea. Add a title, text, tags, voice, location, and a reminder, then keep the compressed photo inside PhotoNotes instead of mixing it with your regular photos. OCR can turn visible words in a photo into searchable text. Voice notes can be recorded or imported, with speech recognition for searchable transcripts. You can also create simple text notes, mark notes as done, pin important items, filter what needs action, and export text, photo, audio, or an image-based PDF. PhotoNotes is designed for quick, practical notes that stay easy to find later. Key features: - Create notes from camera, scanner, photo import, voice, or text - Store compressed photos separately from the camera roll - Use OCR to make photo text searchable - Record or import voice notes with searchable transcripts - Search by title, body, tags, OCR text, and voice transcript - Add local reminders and mark notes done - Pin important notes and filter what matters - Export text, photo, audio, or an image-based PDF - Choose recognition language for OCR and voice - No account required PhotoNotes stores note content locally on your iPhone.
