Aside vs PlainMind

The things you want to keep end up everywhere—browser tabs, screenshots, messages, and app bookmarks. Aside brings links, text, photos, and files into one library, so you can find them when you need them. SAVE FROM OTHER APPS Use the Share Sheet to save links, text, photos, and files to Aside. FIND YOUR WAY BACK Search saved items or browse by content type, tags, and collections. ORGANIZE WITH LESS WORK Aside recognizes supported content types automatically. On supported devices, optional on-device AI can help add tags and categories without sending content to a cloud AI service. START WITHOUT SIGNING IN Save and organize in the Local Library on your device. No account or sign-in required. Local Library remains available offline. CONTINUE ACROSS DEVICES Sign in with DID to sync your saved content through Arc Space, then keep browsing and organizing on another device. PUBLISH YOUR COLLECTIONS After signing in and connecting to Arc Space, publish a collection as a page and share its link. You choose which collections to publish.

PlainMind is a calm place for the links, images, places, and ideas you want to remember, and it sorts itself. Save from any app in one tap. PlainMind organizes what you save by what it is, and when the same phrase keeps turning up in your notes, it offers to gather those saves into a collection. Or make a collection yourself and pick exactly what goes in. No tagging, no folders, no decisions in the moment. It's anti-feed. No infinite scroll, no algorithm pushing you toward what's popular. Your library is yours. Quiet, considered, the opposite of a social app. COLLECTIONS, FOUND OR MADE • PlainMind notices the phrases you repeat and offers to group them • Make your own collection and add any save to it by hand • Take a save out of any collection, and it stays out • Items join and leave on their own as your notes change • Pin any search and it becomes a collection that stays current WHAT YOU CAN SAVE Links, images, PDFs, places, plain text, music, podcasts, and video, straight from the share sheet, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. READ, MARK, KEEP • Reading mode: just the title and the words, with a table of contents • Highlight a passage and add a note; everything you've marked is together in Highlights • Listen to a saved article, read aloud on your device (Pro) • A copy that outlives the link: articles and their images, kept for when the page is gone (Pro) FIND IT LATER • On-device search across titles, notes, and text read from your images and PDFs • Filter by type, source, or when you saved it • Siri and Spotlight know your saves BUILT TO BE QUIET, AND FOR EVERYONE • Rich previews: album art, map snapshots, link previews • A widget that resurfaces something worth revisiting • On iPad and Mac, a sidebar with everything iPhone has • Light and dark, contrast that meets WCAG AA, and Dynamic Type at every size • VoiceOver throughout YOURS, AND PRIVATE PlainMind is local-first.
