Bento vs ManualBook

Save anything, and Bento puts it to work. Bento keeps the links, reels, screenshots, photos, PDFs, voice memos and notes you save in one private place, sorted into boxes. Save from any app with the Share button, choose a box, and you're done. Your library lives on your device and syncs with iCloud. No account to create. Some boxes do more than hold things. RECIPE BOXES - Save a recipe from a link, a video caption or a photo, and Bento reads the ingredients and steps. - Scale any recipe and switch between US and Metric. - Plan the week and get one grocery list, sorted by aisle. Send it to Reminders. - Share a recipe as a picture card. COOK MODE - Cook one step at a time, with the ingredients for that step. - Start a timer from the step with one tap. - Read Aloud reads each step. Turn on hands-free and say "next" to move on. TRIP BOXES - Plan by day on a map, with walking and travel times between places. - Flight and hotel details come from your PDFs and screenshots. - Next Up keeps today's flight, check-in or plan at the top. HOME BOXES - Keep model and serial numbers, manuals and warranties together, room by room. - Read Label fills in the details from a photo of the sticker. - Upkeep reminders tell you when a filter or a check is due, and Coming Up shows what's next. FIND ANYTHING - Search finds words inside screenshots and photos. - Find photos by what's in them, like "dog" or "receipt." - Search by meaning, not just exact words. YOUR BOXES, YOUR WAY - The Upcoming bell lists everything that's due. - Smart filters move matching saves into a box on their own. - Pin the saves you use most, sort by date or name, and select many at once. - Lock a box with Face ID, or hide it. - Share a box with family or friends through iCloud. - Pick from 11 app icons, each with its own dark version. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Bento stores your library on your device. Search, text recognition and photo search run on your iPhone or iPad. iCloud sync and shared boxes use your own iCloud account. FREE AND PRO Every feature is free to use. The free plan holds up to 200 saves, 20 boxes and 1 shared box that you own. Bento Pro removes those limits, as a yearly subscription or a one-time purchase.

Paper manuals pile up in drawers — and the one you need is never there. ManualBook turns that pile into a searchable library on your phone. Now it also answers your questions and finds the right manual from a photo. Scan a manual with your camera, snap a photo, or import a PDF. ManualBook reads every word on the page — in English, Spanish, German, French, Chinese, Japanese, and more — entirely on your device, so you can find any detail in seconds. How it works • Capture: the built-in document scanner auto-detects edges and straightens the page. Or import straight from Photos or Files — images and PDFs alike. • Recognize: on-device text recognition reads each page, including mixed English / Chinese / Japanese, with no internet and nothing uploaded. • Search: full-text search across every manual and every page, with matches highlighted and a tap to jump right to the page. • Ask: ask a question in plain language and get an answer drawn from your own manuals — generated by on-device AI, with page citations, and nothing uploaded. • Identify: not sure which manual you need? Snap a photo of the product and ManualBook matches it to the right manual — on-device. • Organize: group manuals into folders, add tags, and keep brand and notes together. • Share to ManualBook: send a PDF or photo from any app — Safari, Files, Mail, Photos — straight into your library, scanned and filed automatically. • Export: turn any manual back into a shareable PDF. Private by design • Everything runs on your iPhone. Text recognition and AI answers happen on-device — your manuals are never uploaded to us, and there are no accounts, servers, analytics, or trackers. • Optional iCloud Sync keeps your library in your own private iCloud, encrypted by Apple, so it's there on all your devices. We never see it. Free to start • Your first manuals are on the house. A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited manuals and AI answers — no subscription. Stop hoarding paper. Scan it once, find it forever.
