Giraffe

Giraffe helps you keep the useful knowledge from your AI work organized and easy to return to. Important decisions, facts, notes, questions and project context can disappear inside long conversations. Giraffe gives that knowledge a persistent home, organized around the work it belongs to. BROWSE YOUR KNOWLEDGE See your projects and the useful context you've kept around them. Instead of digging through old conversations, you can see what matters in a clear, structured view. FIND WHAT YOU NEED Return to a decision, fact, note or open question when it becomes relevant again. KEEP PROJECT CONTEXT TOGETHER Organize useful knowledge by project so conclusions stay connected to the work they came from. PICK UP WITH CONTEXT Use what you've already learned instead of rebuilding the same context from scratch. Giraffe is designed to make AI-assisted work more durable: less valuable context lost in old conversations, and more of what you learn available when you need it again.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Giraffe at none against fork ai's 2. Giraffe also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). fork ai's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
