SoloPDF vs SlideJot

SoloPDF is a clean, fast, fully local PDF reader — no ads, no account, nothing ever uploaded. • Reading: multiple tabs, outline, page thumbnails, full-text search, fit-width/fit-page zoom. Huge files open instantly thanks to on-demand loading. • Highlights become notes: highlight any text and the annotation is saved as a Markdown notes file (.annotations.md) right next to the PDF — open, edit, and version it with any editor (including our SoloMD). solopdf:// links inside the notes jump straight back to the highlighted passage. • Forms: fill AcroForm PDFs (text fields, checkboxes, dropdowns) and save the result. • Export to Markdown: turn a whole PDF into a Markdown document, outline headings included. • Dark mode with smart page inversion for comfortable night reading. • Interface in English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, and 日本語. Everything runs on your device. No network calls, no data collection.

SlideJot is a tiny jot pad for the thoughts you'd otherwise lose — the idea in line at the coffee shop, the sentence you'll want later, the link you don't know where to file yet. A jot is lighter than a note and more durable than the clipboard. Open the app, type, done. No folders to choose, no titles to invent, no formatting decisions. Organize later — or never. CAPTURE FIRST, ORGANIZE LATER • Start a new jot in one tap and just write • Everything autosaves as you type • Pin the jots you keep coming back to • Deleted jots go to Trash, so nothing is lost by accident FIND WHAT YOU PARKED • Fast full-text search across your current jots • The messy fragment you saved becomes useful again when you can actually find it MORE THAN PLAIN TEXT • Choose images with Apple's system Photos picker or take one with the camera • Add code blocks and section blocks from the keyboard toolbar • Undo and redo, right where you type • Adjustable editor font size, plus light, dark, or system appearance BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • On iPad, a two-column layout keeps your list and editor side by side • Keyboard shortcuts for common actions when a hardware keyboard is attached OPTIONAL ICLOUD SYNC • Flip one switch to sync jots and images across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Sync uses your own iCloud account — we never see your data • Local editing works offline; pending changes sync after a connection is available PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no email required • No ads, no analytics, no trackers, no third-party SDKs • Your jots live on your device, and in your own iCloud only if you enable sync FREE, WITH NOTHING TO UNLOCK SlideJot for iOS is completely free: no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no paywall. SlideJot for Mac — a slide-out jot panel that lives at the edge of your screen — is available separately and syncs with the iOS app through iCloud. Stay draft. Stay messy. Keep the line worth keeping.
