Obius vs Snagbox

Obius — Notes that evolve. Designed for the way you think. Your ideas don't arrive in straight lines. Obius is a visual workspace where notes carry color, ideas connect to each other, and what you wrote yesterday folds into what you're building today. Built for founders, PMs, designers, researchers — and anyone who outgrew Apple Notes but never quite fit into Notion. LOOPS — WRITE ONCE, REUSE EVERYWHERE Drop a Loop into any note — a named, reusable content block like @launch_checklist or @weekly_review. Edit it in one place, every copy updates instantly. Perfect for running lists, shared context, and anything you reference more than once. SECTIONS THAT CARRY MEANING Every section has an intent — a color that tells you at a glance what kind of thinking lives there. Open ideas, questions you're sitting with, work in motion, issues to fix, things that are done. Five colors. Five intents. Your thinking, visible. — Drag and drop to reorder — Collapse, expand, and nest sections — Rich content: text, checklists, code, quotes, images, audio — Tap once to change a section's intent ECHOES — REMINDERS THAT BRING THE NOTE BACK Attach a time-based reminder to any Loop. Unlike calendar pings, an Echo resurfaces the full note when the moment matters — with all its context intact, not a one-line nag. OBIUS INTELLIGENCE AI that lives inside the workspace, not in another tab. — Generate full pages from a single prompt — Edit, rewrite, and refine content in place — no copy-pasting between apps — Smart titles that actually describe the page — Semantic search that finds ideas, not just keywords — Research context: pull what you need, paste, and think from there INSIGHTS THAT SURFACE WHAT MATTERS Obius watches your pages for patterns so you don't have to. Cleanup suggestions, related notes you forgot about, lists hiding in your text, and safety flags for leaked credentials or secrets. VERSION HISTORY, BUILT IN Every note quietly snapshots itself. Browse the timeline, restore any earlier version, watch your thinking evolve over time. No save button. No lost work. SHARE LIVE OR FROZEN Generate a short public link to share a live note that updates as you edit — or freeze a snapshot in time. Readable URLs. View counts. Comments optional. CALENDAR See your work across time. Plan ahead, look back, stay oriented — without leaving Obius. LOCAL-FIRST. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT. — Pages stored on your device first — Works fully offline; syncs when you reconnect — End-to-end encrypted sync — No tracking. No selling data. Not now, not ever. — Optional local-only mode for maximum privacy YOUR MIND. YOUR ARCHITECTURE. Obius isn't another notes app. It's a workspace shaped like thinking — simple enough to start in seconds, deep enough to grow with how you actually work. Designed for the way you think.

Snagbox is a private library for everything you want to keep — links, notes, checklists, photos, videos, PDFs, and any other file. No account. No sign-up. Nothing leaves your iPhone unless you choose to turn on iCloud sync. Coming from a read-later app that shut down? This one has no servers to switch off. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE - One tap from the Share Sheet — Safari, YouTube, Instagram, Mail, Files, anywhere with a share button - Paste a link, and Snagbox fetches the title, description and image - Take a photo straight into Snagbox — it never touches your Photos library - Save from Shortcuts, Siri or Back Tap - Grab whatever is on your clipboard EVERYTHING GETS A PREVIEW Your library isn't a wall of grey rows. Links show their cover image and site icon. PDFs show the first page. Videos show a frame. Notes show the opening lines. Checklists show how far you've got. You recognise what you saved before you read a word. FIND IT AGAIN, FAST - Search titles, notes and link text as you type - Search inside PDFs and text inside photos - Filter by kind, category, tag or date - Your items show up in Spotlight, so you can find them from the home screen ORGANISE LATER — OR NEVER Categories and tags are always optional. Save now, sort whenever you feel like it. "Unsorted" is a perfectly normal place for things to live. Sensible categories and tags are set up for you on first launch. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account and no email address — ever - No analytics, no tracking, no third-party code - Works fully offline, on a plane or underground - Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID - Photos and videos you capture in Snagbox stay in Snagbox OPTIONAL iCloud SYNC Off by default. Turn it on, and your library appears on your other Apple devices through your own iCloud account. We never see it, because there is no "we" in the middle — no server, no database, no company holding your things. MADE FOR iPHONE AND iPAD Not a stretched phone app. iPad gets a real sidebar, multi-column grid, keyboard shortcuts, drag and drop, and full pointer support. SEE YOUR LIBRARY AT A GLANCE A dashboard that shows what you've saved and what you've forgotten — item counts by kind, your busiest categories and tags, how much you've added this month, and what's been sitting untouched the longest. GOOD FOR - Links and videos you meant to come back to - Receipts, tickets, warranties and manuals - Research for a project, a trip, a renovation, a purchase - Recipes, workouts, wishlists, gift ideas - Screenshots that would otherwise disappear into your camera roll - Anything you'd currently text to yourself Try Snagbox today!
