Follow YouTube channels the way you follow podcasts. Every upload, in order, with nothing else mixed in. YouTube was built for discovery, not for following. Subscribe to a channel and its videos still arrive buried under recommendations, shorts and autoplay. Ayos gives those channels a home where the only thing on screen is what you actually chose. Build feeds your way Group channels into named feeds: News, Long Reads, Comedy, whatever fits. Sort each feed newest first or oldest first, and load older episodes any time you want to go back further. A queue that ends Mark an episode watched and it leaves the queue, in the feed and in the channel. No infinite scroll, no algorithmic filler, no sense that you are never done. Save anything else worth keeping Send links from any app straight into Ayos with the share sheet. Sort them into Collections such as recipes, research, inspiration or gift ideas, and add a note to any save so you remember why it mattered. Notes and checklists Jot something down without a link at all, or keep a running checklist. It lives beside everything else you have saved. Private by default No ads. No algorithm. No tracking. Your library stays on your device. Free for 30 days, then a subscription Following channels is free for 30 days, with unlimited channels and no card required. The trial starts when you add your first channel, and the app shows you how many days are left the whole way through. After that, following channels needs Ayos Premium: $0.99 per month or $9.99 per year. Premium also syncs your library across your own devices. Nothing is deleted when a trial ends. Your channels, saved links and notes stay exactly where they were, and they are all still there if you subscribe later. Notes, Collections and checklists are free without a subscription, up to 20 saved items. Ayos is the quiet, focused home for the things you actually care about on the internet.

Burner is a one-line note that lives above your Lock Screen time. Quick capture, instant glance, tap to clear. A widget instead of an app. No icons to tap, no list to scroll, no app to open — just the next thing you need to remember, right where you already look. Perfect for: - The next thing you need to do - The thing you're trying not to forget - The meeting you keep meaning to schedule - The grocery item you'll forget by the time you reach the car How it works: 1. Add a one-line note in the app 2. Add the Burner widget above your Lock Screen time 3. Glance whenever you check your phone 4. Tap the widget when it's done Free - One note at a time Burner Pro — $0.99, one-time purchase - Queue up to 5 notes at a time - The widget always shows what's next - Completing one note auto-advances to the next What Burner is NOT: - Not a to-do list (use Reminders for that) - Not a notes app (use Notes for that) - Not a calendar (use Calendar for that) Burner is for the one thing that matters in the next hour.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Burner at daily against Ayos's every 3 days. Ayos's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
