folie and Savee
Checked 4 October 2026
Savee is a paid inspiration library for designers. You save images from the web into boards, with extensions for every major browser and apps for iOS and Android.
folie is a Mac app you pay for once. It keeps your own screenshots of interface design on your disk, filed by component, style, typefaces and colours.

Where Savee is better
- Safari support. folie's font extension works in Chrome, Arc, Brave and Edge, not Safari.
- Teams, shared boards and a Figma plugin.
- It is on your phone.
- A community of other designers' saves to browse.
folie is Mac only, has no phone app, does not sync between machines, and needs either your own Claude API key (about a tenth of a cent a capture) or a model running on your Mac.
Where folie is different
- One payment instead of a yearly subscription.
- It captures the whole screen, so native apps and logged-in pages are fair game, not only images a browser can see.
- Each capture is filed for you with component, style, real typefaces, five colours and its text.
- The library is a folder on your Mac, with no account.
Which one to pick
If you work in a team, live in Figma, or save from your phone, Savee does more. If you work alone on a Mac and are tired of paying monthly to keep screenshots, folie.
Questions
Does folie have a subscription?
No. One payment, every update included, and a 14-day refund.
Does folie work in Safari?
folie captures from any app, Safari included. The optional extension that reads a page's real fonts works in Chrome, Arc, Brave and Edge, not Safari. Without it, folie guesses the fonts from the image and says so.
