Pulogo vs Instagram saves
Instagram's save button keeps things well. It just never asks anything.
Instagram saves are the most common way to keep something "for later": one tap on the icon, and the post goes into a grid on your profile. You can make named collections. You can't search inside them, and nothing calls you back.
Pulogo doesn't replace the save button. It takes what you send it (from Instagram, from TikTok, from a screenshot) and puts it into a short daily triage. Every save comes out with a decision: Do, Keep or Let go.
Side by side
| What matters | Pulogo | |
|---|---|---|
| What it's for | Deciding on and doing what you saved. | Keeping the post inside Instagram. |
| Where saves come from | Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, links and screenshots. | Instagram posts only. |
| Organization | Title and category from the text, plus automatic lists. | A grid of thumbnails; named collections, if you make them. |
| Search | Search, including the text in screenshots. | No search within saves. |
| After saving | Daily triage: Do, Keep or Let go. | Nothing asks; the post stays in the grid. |
| Cost | Free to save and triage what's new. Bringing in old saves is Pro. | Free, built into the app. |

Where the information about Instagram comes from
Choose Pulogo if
- You save things meaning to do them, and then don't.
- Your saves are scattered across Instagram, TikTok and your camera roll.
- You want a short list of what's for this week.
- You want to find a save by what was written on it.
Stick with Instagram saves if
- You don't save much and find what you need by scrolling the grid.
- You save to look at again, not to do: memes, inspiration, references.
- You don't want to install one more app.
- You want to see the post where it lives, with comments and updates from the creator.
In short
Instagram's save button is a great start. What it doesn't do is the middle part: asking, one by one, whether that thing is something to do.
Pulogo is that part. You keep saving like always, send Pulogo the things to do, and it hands a few back to you each day.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to stop using Instagram saves?
No. Save like always. When it's something to do, send it to Pulogo too, from the share sheet.
Does Pulogo pull in my saves on its own?
No. Pulogo doesn't access your account. Old saves come from the official data file Instagram itself generates for you, and that file is read on your iPhone, with no login and no password.
And old saves, how much does it cost to bring them in?
Bringing in old saves is part of Pro. First, a sample of 20 is free, so you can decide if it's worth it. What's already in Pulogo stays yours, with or without Pro.
