Bento vs ManualBook

Bento is a local-first box for the things worth keeping: recipes, links, screenshots, voice notes, PDFs, and places. Stored on your device, fully searchable, no account required. Capture from one simple app. Bento automatically types each save and organizes your library around boxes and the context that matters to you. Use Bento to: • Capture recipes, documents, voice memos, photos, and places • Drop in links, URLs, and copied text quickly • Organize into boxes, then sort and filter by type • Search across everything, including text inside screenshots • Keep private items locked behind Face ID or hidden entirely • Add your own notes without losing the original source Bento is built for personal knowledge, not feeds, followers, or noise. Keep what matters without turning your saved content into another inbox.

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.
