ShellNewHandler VS EZ Save

EZ Save's answer:

Three things stand out, based on the competitors I checked on 28 Oct. No rival I found has the first two. Others do share the third.

Five tabs inside every folder. Photos, videos, links, files and notes each get their own tab in the same folder, so nothing is scattered across apps. Most rivals focus on links (Raindrop, Anybox, GoodLinks) or on screenshots and social posts (Tote).

A free Mac notch drag-and-drop. On a MacBook with a notch, you drag anything up to the notch and pick a folder. I didn't find any rival with this.

Private by design, with no account. Your library stays in your own iCloud, encrypted on your device, and Face ID lock is free. The newer apps FaveNest, Stashy, Cosas and SaveIt make the same promise, so this alone doesn't set it apart. EZ Save does run on iOS 15.6 and later, while some of those need iOS 26.

EZ Save's answer:

EZ Save is the one app for everything you want to keep, and it stays private. The choice depends on who's choosing.

Someone who saves more than links. Raindrop, Anybox and GoodLinks are built around links, and Tote is built around screenshots and social posts. EZ Save keeps photos, videos, links, files and notes together in one folder, each with its own tab.

Someone who doesn't want another account or ads. There's no sign-up, Face ID lock is free, and your library stays in your own iCloud, encrypted on your device. Pinterest is public and ad-supported, and Raindrop needs an account and runs on its own servers.

Someone who uses a MacBook. Dragging a photo or link up to the notch to file it is free and I didn't find it anywhere else.

Someone on an older iPhone. It runs on iOS 15.6 and later, while some of the newer private rivals need iOS 26. Someone who wants to try before paying. Free covers all five content types, Face ID and 3 folders. Pro is US$2.99 a month or US$14.99 a year, which matches Anybox's yearly price.

EZ Save's answer:

EZ Save is built and priced, not from any data on who actually uses it, so treat it as a working guess. Three groups fit best:

Everyday savers. People who screenshot recipes, receipts, tickets and ideas and lose them in the camera roll. They want one simple folder library, not a bookmark manager they have to learn.

Students, freelancers and creators. They collect references, articles, PDFs and inspiration across several apps. Separate tabs for each content type in one folder suit them, and the Mac notch drag-and-drop helps if they use a MacBook.

Privacy-conscious Apple users. They're tired of Pocket-style accounts and servers, or of Pinterest's public feed and ads. They'll like that there's no account and that it lives in their own iCloud, but only if the App Store privacy label agrees.
