Snaptics is a private place for everything you need to remember, and it finds it again by the words inside it. Photograph a receipt, a bill, a door code or a page of a book. Import a PDF. Share a link or a note from any app. Or just say it out loud. Snaptics reads what you save, names it, pulls out the details that matter, and reminds you when the date comes. JUST SAY IT Tap Voice note and say "call the plumber tomorrow at 5". Snaptics writes it out on your iPhone, gives it a name, and reminds you at 5. Voice notes can be up to 5 minutes long, and you can correct any word it got wrong. NEVER MISS A DATE Dates in your memories become reminders on their own: the morning before a bill is due, an hour before an appointment, a month before something expires. Repeating reminders work too, such as "every Monday" or "the 5th of every month". Snooze any reminder for an hour or until tomorrow, straight from the notification. COMING UP Everything with a date, soonest first, at the top of your memories and in a Home Screen widget. ASK ANYTHING Search by typing or by voice: "what's the Wi-Fi password?", "when is the car insurance due?". Snaptics searches the text in your photos and PDFs, your titles and notes, and your voice note transcripts, and shows you exactly where the answer came from. THE DETAILS, READY TO USE Snaptics picks out what you saved it for, so you don't have to zoom in and copy by hand: • Passwords, codes, booking references and amounts, with a Copy button • Links, emails and phone numbers you can open, write to or call in one tap • Addresses that open in Maps, and parcel numbers you can track • Dates you can add to your calendar SAVE ANYTHING WORTH KEEPING Capture with the camera, import from your library, or share photos, PDFs, text and links from any app. Up to ten photos can live in one memory, with a title, notes and voice memos. On first launch, Snaptics can read the screenshots already on your iPhone so search has something to find straight away. KEEP IT ORGANISED Favourites, Archive and Trash, plus a Hidden section behind Face ID or your passcode, and an optional lock for the whole app. Deleted memories wait in Trash for 30 days. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no sign-in. Your photos, notes and recordings are never uploaded. Reading text, writing out voice notes and matching pictures all happen on this iPhone. SNAPTICS PRO Free includes 50 memories and 10 voice notes. Pro removes both limits. It is a one-time purchase: nothing to cancel, and no renewal. Snaptics downloads one small open-source language model over Wi-Fi to write short answers to your questions. Only the model file is downloaded; nothing about you is sent. Made by Evyxai.
