From the list of features it seems to have a web-app, iOS native, android native, and you can host it yourself... What... what more do you really want? Also, what does "application" mean to you?

It sounds like the issue to them is that it requires a service to use apparently, since you must sign up.

That’s not true. They HAVE a service that they run, but you can go to their GitHub repository and run your own server and point the app at it.

Tbh the selfhosting instructions seem overly complicated, particularly when compared to wallabag.

What do you mean? I looked through both, and they are both very easy to set up. Especially if you ignore the build documentations for wallabag which suggest OS level install of PHP, and do it with containers instead.

So, if you want to try it out, both are identical. 1. Clone, 2. docker-compose up.

He wants some php files to throw at a filehoster.
