Pocket Check vs Stellata

That gut-drop moment at the traffic light — "did I grab my wallet?" PocketCheck ends it. Photograph the things you can't leave without. PocketCheck cuts them out into stickers on your pocket board. Set a boundary around home — as tight as 20 metres — and the moment you step past it, your checklist appears. Tap through it and go. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Seconds, not minutes — GPS-confirmed departure alerts the moment iOS senses you moving, while other reminder apps wake up ten minutes too late • Your real stuff — photos become stickers, not another grey text list • Anywhere mode — leave a restaurant, gym, or friend's place after a real stay and PocketCheck checks you again. Smart rules mean brief stops never trigger and alerts never spam • Impossible to miss — Time Sensitive alerts break through Focus modes, with optional loud alarm sound and repeat-until-opened • Private by design — photos processed on-device, no accounts, no tracking, and your route is never stored HOW IT WORKS 1. Snap your stuff — wallet, keys, badge, anything 2. Drop your boundary on the map 3. Walk out the door — your checklist appears Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Some things stay with you. The image you stop for. The idea you come back to. Stellata is where they go. Tap Share in any app — Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Pinterest, a blog, anything — and the picture, the words and the video come across with the link. Screenshots, photos, videos and PDFs come in too, no link needed. Then it starts to sort itself. ALIKE SAVES DRIFT TOGETHER Every link is read on your phone: its words, and what its picture shows. Nothing is sent anywhere. Tags appear on their own, and saves that belong together drift into groups in the galaxy, so even from far off you can see what your saving is really about. The same links gather into themes you can filter by — branding, motion, space, whatever you turn out to be into. EIGHT WAYS TO LOOK Grid — everything you saved, at a glance, image first. Pinch to see more or less at once. Board — your saves spread over one plane, like a wall. Drag to roam, pinch to zoom. Wall — your pictures in columns that go on forever, whichever way you go. Leave it be, and it drifts on its own. Galaxy — your library as a world in space, alike saves floating together in groups. Tap a link and a light travels out through everything it connects to, by picture, by meaning, by tag, through its own group and across to the others. Follow it somewhere unexpected. Sort it by color, by time, by site or by style, or place words of your own, and the links they're about gather around them. Globe — step inside the galaxy, your saves all around you, above and below. Drag to look around. Earth — your saves light up where in the world they are. Timeline — every save on one line, newest first, opening out as you scroll back through the days. Projects — a space for a trip, a piece of work, or whatever you're into this week, each with a moodboard to lay out by hand: move, pinch and twist the pictures, then draw, write and join them with arrows. Send one out as a lookbook, a PDF of every save. Hold a finger still and draw a loop in the galaxy or on a board, and everything inside is picked, ready to move, share or delete together. SIT DOWN WITH A FRIEND Put two phones side by side and your libraries become one galaxy, each in its own color. See where your tastes meet, pass a link across, and leave with a little of theirs. The phones talk to each other directly — nothing goes through a server, and only what you choose to bring ever leaves your phone. BRING WHAT YOU ALREADY SAVED Your Instagram saves come across, and your Pinterest boards and Are.na channels too, so you start with your real collection instead of an empty page, and watch it sort itself into groups. FIND YOUR WAY BACK Type what you're looking for, or tap + to pick a color, a style or a photo, and the saves that fit fly in close. Or describe what a picture shows, like “cracked ice,” and Search finds it, even when no title or tag says so. It reads the words in your pictures too, so a screenshot turns up by what it says. Point the camera at a poster or a wall to see the saves that look most like it. Filter by site, by type, by color. Or just wander. ON YOUR MAC TOO Stellata is on the Mac as well, your library kept in step by iCloud, and Stellata Unlimited comes along. IT STAYS YOURS Everything syncs through your own iCloud, and previews are kept on the phone, so your library is there with no signal. Share a project and a few people can save into it together, on one moodboard. No account to make, no feed, no one else's algorithm. STELLATA UNLIMITED The free plan holds 30 links. Unlimited holds any number, as a monthly subscription or a one-time purchase. If Unlimited ends, nothing is deleted: your newest 30 stay open and the rest wait for you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Stellata at 5 against Pocket Check's 1. Stellata also leads on device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Pocket Check sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Stellata sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Pocket Check against 5.0 for Stellata. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stellata has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
