Archly
Read full descriptionHide full description
You saved it for later. You never went back. Articles keep piling up β and most of them never get read again. The knowledge you wanted to keep just disappears. Archly turns your reading list into a real knowledge base. Save any article, and AI instantly summarizes it, tags it, and makes it searchable. The moment you save it, it's already organized. γWhat changesγ β’ Your saved articles become searchable, usable knowledge β’ AI summaries let you absorb an article in seconds β’ Semantic search finds articles by meaning, not just keywords γWhat AI does for youγ - 3β5 sentence summary generated the moment you save - Up to 3 relevant tags added automatically β no manual sorting - Semantic search: find what you're looking for even if you forgot the title - Weekly AI learning summary keeps your reading from fading (Premium) "What if Archly shuts down too? I've already lost everything twice." β Fair concern. That's exactly why Archly includes data export. Your articles and AI summaries can be exported anytime β you're never locked in. "I have 400 saved articles and I've read maybe 10 of them." β The backlog isn't the problem β it's that articles become useless without context. Archly's AI summary is generated the moment you save, so even a 3,000-word article is captured in 5 sentences you'll actually use. "Can't I just bookmark it in my browser?" β A bookmark keeps only a title and a URL. There's no semantic search. With Archly, you find what you saved by meaning, not exact keywords. "I clicked the saved article and got hit with ads and trackers β couldn't focus at all." β Archly's reader view strips out ads, popups, and tracking. Your saved content is what you see β nothing else. "I don't want to create another account." β No account needed. Start saving immediately, no email required. Free tier works without sign-up. "Do I need to pay?" β No. Saving, AI summaries, and search are all free. Premium unlocks the weekly learning summary.

Kept Clipboard
Read full descriptionHide full description
Kept is a private, encrypted library for the text, links, and images you deliberately choose to save. Nothing is captured in the background β you decide what goes in. SAVE ONLY WHAT YOU CHOOSE Kept never watches the clipboard. Add an item with the visible Paste button, the Share Sheet from any app, or a Shortcut you run yourself. Shortcuts can save without unlocking, and the item appears the next time you open Kept. ENCRYPTED, THEN LOCKED Every item is encrypted on device with AES-256-GCM. The key is protected by the Secure Enclave, and a cold launch always requires Face ID or Touch ID β with no passcode fallback. Choose what the lock covers: the whole app, selected folders, or a single clip. Changing any lock setting requires biometrics again. ORGANIZE THE WAY YOU THINK β’ Folders and tags, sortable by name or your own manual order β’ Pin, search, copy, edit, and sort saved items β’ Nest sub-items under a clip for related notes and images β’ Album view gathers every saved image in one grid; swipe between them full screen HIDDEN MODE Mark sensitive clips as hidden and they disappear completely from the library, search, and counts. Unlock Hidden mode with biometrics to reveal or manage them; it re-hides automatically when you leave or background Kept. IMAGES & RICH TEXT Save images and formatted text, keep them under a clip, and copy or share them whenever you need. PRIVATE BY DESIGN β’ No account β’ No advertising β’ No analytics or tracking SDKs β’ No background clipboard monitoring β’ No cloud upload in this version Kept is free for up to 20 saved items. A one-time Kept Pro purchase unlocks unlimited encrypted items β no subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Kept Clipboard at none against Archly's shown. Archly's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
