Pulogo vs Pool
Both start with the screenshot. Pool organizes and shares. Pulogo asks you what to do with each one.
Pool introduces itself with "Save anything with a screenshot". Screenshots are sorted with AI into "pools" you can share with friends. The Pool team has also written about "the doing gap", the space between saving and doing, which is the same problem Pulogo goes after.
The difference is in what comes after the screenshot. In Pulogo, each screenshot goes into a short daily triage and comes out with a decision: Do, Keep or Let go. The text is read on the iPhone itself, and screenshots already decided can leave your camera roll with Clear roll.
Side by side
| What matters | Pulogo | Pool |
|---|---|---|
| What it's for | Deciding and doing: every save ends in Do, Keep or Let go. | Saving anything with a screenshot and organizing it into pools. |
| How saves come in | Screenshots from your library, the iPhone share sheet and pasted links. | Screenshot. |
| After saving | A finite daily triage. Do goes to the To do list; Keep comes back later. | Screenshots sorted with AI into pools. |
| Sharing with friends | No shared lists. | Pools you can share with friends. |
| Where content is processed | Screenshot text and category read on the iPhone. The internet only opens link previews. | Not stated. |
| How to get in | Free to save and triage what's new. | Free, launching by invite or waitlist. |

Where the information about Pool comes from
Choose Pulogo if

In short
Pool is a good place to keep screenshots with friends. Pulogo is a place to decide what to do with them, on your own, a few a day.
If the problem is "I want to show someone", Pool. If the problem is "I have 1,247 screenshots and none of them turned into anything", Pulogo.
Frequently asked questions
Does Pulogo read my screenshots in the cloud?
No. The text and category are read right here on the iPhone. The internet only comes in to show a link preview, opening that link like Safari would. Pool's site doesn't say where its screenshots are processed.
Can I share a list in Pulogo?
No. Pulogo's lists are yours alone. If sharing with friends is the main thing, Pool does that.
Does Pulogo delete my screenshots?
Only if you ask. Clear roll suggests removing screenshots you've already decided on from your camera roll, a light copy with the text stays in Pulogo, and iOS is the one that confirms.
