HighMemo saves every memo to your device first, shows how your memos relate, and adds AI, Drive sync, and calendar only when you connect them yourself. No account. No API key. No setup. HighMemo works before you connect anything โ€” and you decide what to connect. Sync across mobile and desktop Connect Google Drive to keep the same memos, images, and attachments in sync across iPhone, iPad, Android, and the HighMemo desktop app. Saving never waits The memo is on your device the moment you send it, and any tidying happens afterwards in the background. If that tidying fails, nothing you already had is erased. Share a link from any app and it lands as a memo โ€” the title, summary and thumbnail fill in behind you. Attach a photo from your library and it stays with the memo. How your memos relate Memos that share a tag gather together, and the tag's name sits at the centre. Link two memos yourself, or mention one inside another with @ โ€” those links are never removed by an automatic rebuild. Folders, tags and pinning work with no account and no AI. Type to filter by title, body or tag; #tag matches that tag exactly. Organized automatically when you connect an AI Once an AI provider is connected, HighMemo automatically creates a title, summary, tags and category for every memo, helping you review and organize captured information with less manual work. On supported Apple devices, choose Apple Intelligence and start using AI immediately without a separate API key or model download. Processing uses Apple's on-device system model. Connect Google Calendar and your schedule sits beside your memos โ€” access is read-only, so HighMemo never creates, edits or deletes an event. Save a memo and HighMemo suggests the events it looks related to; you choose whether to link it. Open an event and tap Add memo to start a memo already attached to it. Reminders that know when and where Put a reminder on a memo โ€” once, daily, weekly or monthly. Or pin a place: when you arrive, the memo comes back. Arrival is decided on the device and the notification is created there too โ€” it fires once per visit. Your storage, not ours Connect a Google account and your mobile devices and HighMemo desktop app see the same memos. They live in your own Google Drive app-data folder โ€” there is no HighMemo server and no HighMemo account, so we cannot look at them. Images and attachments travel too. Sync runs when you open the app and every 5 minutes while it is open, plus a button whenever you want. Your AI, your key โ€” or no AI at all You bring the AI. Paste the API key of a service you already pay for and requests go from your device straight to that provider โ€” there is no server of ours in between. Or use a supported on-device model so your memo text never leaves the device. Or connect nothing at all and keep using the app. Export everything as one JSON file, with your attached photos embedded in it. Before you install - HighMemo shows ads. There is no paid or ad-free version. - On first launch HighMemo asks whether to download a small model (about 330 MB) used for search and related memos. Decline and the app keeps working. - Connecting Google for sync asks for app-data folder access and read-only calendar access together. - Location access is requested only when a memo actually has a location reminder. - The interface is in English. AI output follows the language of your memo, or a language you pick in Settings. Most memo apps decide where your memos live and which AI reads them. HighMemo makes both of those your choice โ€” and works before you choose either.

About

Linkpoche

Read full description

Links you save from social apps and websites pile up unopened. Linkpoche gathers them in one Inbox, and you put each one away in a pouch with a single swipe. Saving is free and unlimited. No ads, no account. Share a link from another app and you stay where you were. Screenshots go in the same way. SORT WITH ONE SWIPE - Flick the top link down into a pouch, right under your thumb. - Swipe left to delete, right for Read later. - Undo, plus Recently Deleted for your last 50 deleted links. - Up to 8 pouches free, with pouches inside them, each with a name, color, and icon. BRING IN YOUR LINKS - Free. From browser bookmarks, other apps' exports, spreadsheets, or copied text, up to 10,000 links at a time. - Check what was found first. Links go to Read later, and you can undo it. Files that look like passwords, browsing history, email, or chats are skipped. SCREENSHOTS, TOO - Share up to 10 at a time from Photos, or tap + on Home. - On your iPhone, Linkpoche reads text, QR codes, web addresses, phone numbers, and addresses, in Japanese and English. If it finds a web address, it saves the link along with the screenshot. Small or handwritten text can be missed. FIND THEM AGAIN - Search everything or one pouch, including text in screenshots. On iOS 17 or later, search also finds links close in meaning. - Filter by unread, read, or favorites. Sort by Recommended or by post date; date orders show a divider for each month. - For you shows up to 10 links from your pouches each day. - Set a one-time reminder on any link. - A Home Screen widget (iOS 17 or later), iPhone search, and Shortcuts. LINKPOCHE PLUS (IN-APP PURCHASE) A one-time purchase, not a subscription. Lock pouches (Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode to open), hide pouches, make up to 24 pouches, use every color plus 12 patterns, put a photo or one of 16 new icons on a pouch, and repeat reminders on the days you choose. Anyone who can unlock your iPhone can open a locked pouch. ON-DEVICE AI On iPhone 15 Pro or later with iOS 26 or later and Apple Intelligence on, Apple's on-device model can summarize articles (summaries may not be accurate), suggest a pouch for one link or up to 50 at once, title screenshots, read the columns of files you bring in, and pick older links close to your recent saves. It never files for you, and nothing leaves your iPhone for it. Without it, suggestions use the pouch you chose before for the same site. WHAT GOES OVER THE NETWORK There is no Linkpoche server. When you save a link, your iPhone fetches that page directly for its title, picture, description, icon, and article text. The text is used for the read time and summary, then discarded. Links you bring in load without the article text, gradually on Wi-Fi or when shown on screen. For posts and videos on services such as X and YouTube, it also asks the service's public embed endpoint. Sites see the request as they would from a browser. Once a day at most, it asks Apple's App Store whether a newer version is out. Screenshots are read on your iPhone and not uploaded. For searching by meaning, iOS may download language files from Apple. No analytics, no ads, no tracking. WHAT A PREVIEW CAN SHOW Only what a site publishes for previews. Linkpoche never signs in, so pages behind a login give little, but the link is still saved and opens. It keeps the address and preview, not a copy of the page, so opening a link needs a connection. Screenshots are kept as resized copies without location data. YOUR DATA - Export everything as one zip file, locked and hidden pouches included. The zip file isn't locked. Importing a zip only adds. - No sync between devices. Move to a new iPhone with export and import, or your iPhone backup. iPhone only, iOS 16 or later. X, YouTube, Instagram, and Threads are trademarks of their respective owners. Linkpoche is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by them.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HighMemo at none against Linkpoche's 1. Linkpoche's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
