Bibliome vs Kihya Memo

Bibliome is the mobile companion to Bibliome Library for Mac — read, search, mark up, and file PDFs on your iPhone or iPad, synced to your Mac library through your own iCloud. Get Bibliome Library for Mac: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6786826590 It also stands completely on its own, no Mac required. Point it at your documents and Bibliome suggests where each one belongs: manuals, papers, datasheets, statements, receipts, whatever your library is made of. Accept with a tap, and it learns from what you file. No uploading, no accounts, no waiting on a server. WHAT WORKS WITH NO MAC AT ALL • Suggests a category for every document and learns from your filing • Move and re-file with a tap • Searches your whole library by keyword, ranked by meaning • Reads scans with on-device OCR • Scans paper to PDF, converts documents, merges, compresses, and reorders pages • Detects dates, totals, and IDs; builds citations; exports notes • Answers questions with the passages from your own documents that address them WHAT NEEDS APPLE INTELLIGENCE Bibliome's sharpest filing and its written answers use Apple Intelligence, which requires iOS 26 on a supported iPhone or iPad with Apple Intelligence turned on. Without it, every feature above still works exactly the same — this is a hardware difference, not a paywall. There is no subscription and nothing to unlock. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • The app makes no network connections of its own — no servers of ours, no third parties. Your documents never reach us. • All the intelligence runs on your device, offline. • The only data movement anywhere is Apple iCloud, inside your own account: optional library sync, plus a tiny device-presence file (app version and document count — never names or contents) so your devices can notice each other. We can never see any of it. • No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your documents are yours. ONE LIBRARY, ALL YOUR DEVICES (OPTIONAL) Turn on iCloud sync and your library is shared across iPhone, iPad, and Mac — through your own Apple iCloud account, never a third-party server. Off by default; you're always in control. Bibliome is built for people who keep a real library of documents and want it organized, searchable, and private — without handing it to anyone.

Kihya Memo is a lightweight, offline-first Markdown notepad. Write the source directly, use focused formatting tools, and switch to a beautiful native preview while every note remains a file you can keep. Markdown is the heart of the app. When needed, the same plain-text editor also opens safe UTF-8 text and source documents without converting them to a proprietary database. There is no Kihya account to create and no required Kihya memo server. Google Drive sync and remote server folders are optional. KEY FEATURES • Switch instantly between Markdown source and native preview • Toggle task checkboxes directly in preview • Use focused Markdown tools for headings, lists, bold, italic, strike, code, links, attachments, and underline • Convert pasted rich text into clean Markdown • Create, edit, rename, move, and share HTML, JSON, XML, CSV, PHP, ASP, JavaScript, SQL, and other UTF-8 text or source files when needed • Live syntax colors and line numbers without adding formatting to the file • Static HTML/SVG, pretty JSON/XML, table, calendar, contact, and color-source previews • Plain-text copy and paste for code; rich-text conversion only inside Markdown • Import photos, PDFs, archives, and other files from Photos or Files • Drag, rename, move, and safely remove nested folders in a dedicated manager • Search file names and full note contents • Find, Replace, and Replace All from the title menu, with case options, regex, and capture groups • Choose Save, Discard Changes, or Keep Editing when leaving an unsaved note • Move, rename, trash, or open past versions from the title menu • Open Recently Deleted from the folder list to restore items to their original location or delete them permanently • Optionally protect Recently Deleted with Face ID, Touch ID, or the device passcode • Keep pre-save versions locally and load one into the editor without saving it immediately • Recover the latest local edit draft after an unexpected app termination • Optional marker-texture highlighting for bold and underlined preview text • Preview local images and open clearly marked local-file links • Open and share editable text, source documents, and stored files through the system Files app • Optionally sync original files through a visible app folder in your own Google Drive • Add SFTP, plain FTP, explicit FTPS, or implicit FTPS servers as remote folders, with local recovery drafts, history, conflict detection, and verified saves • Export the visible folder tree as a ZIP without trash or private history • Start writing instantly from a resizable Quick Note Home Screen widget • See a sourced daily thought matched to morning, afternoon, evening, or night • Continue writing beneath a thought and share it as a 4:5 image card • Open a favorite document in full-screen reading mode from the Home Screen • Five bundled Korean typefaces in addition to the system font • Native phone navigation and an iPad three-pane or full-screen editor PRIVACY BY DESIGN • No Kihya sign-up or required login • No ads or cross-app tracking • Google Drive connects only when you choose it; notes are never sent to a Kihya server • Remote connections go directly from your device to the server you enter; credentials use device-only protected storage and remote contents, hosts, paths, and user names are excluded from analytics • SFTP and FTPS are encrypted. Plain FTP is visibly marked and requires a separate warning because its credentials, file names, and contents are not encrypted • Firebase usage events never include note text, file names, searches, or Google account details • Access is limited to local files and files the user explicitly selects • Normal history and recovery drafts stay on device; pre-overwrite sync text is also protected in hidden app data in your Drive
