You save things all day. Links, ideas, to-dos, screenshots, half-thoughts. Then you never see them again. Braix is one place to drop anything. AI reads it, files it, and brings it back when it matters. DROP IT, DON'T FILE IT Type, paste, dictate or share. Braix picks the right shelf, writes a clean title, and sets a reminder if you asked for one. Paste a whole list and it splits it into separate saves. SEVEN SHELVES, OR YOUR OWN Watch Later, Read Later, Ideas, Shopping, To Do, Inspiration, Unsorted. Rename any of them, add your own, and make sections inside — a DM list and a butcher list inside Shopping, kept apart. IT COMES BACK Timeline shows everything with a date: overdue, today, this week, anything ahead. Reschedule in a tap. Add scheduled saves to your calendar — iCloud, Google or Outlook — and Braix keeps the events in step. FIND WHAT YOU FORGOT Forgotten collects everything you saved and never opened. Pick your own window — two weeks, a month, a year. Review them one at a time and clear the pile. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE Share from Safari, Instagram, TikTok, Photos or any app. Links get real titles automatically. SHARE A SHELF Invite someone to a shelf and it syncs live. A shopping list both of you can add to. ALSO Full dark mode. Works offline. Dictation. Photo attachments. Search across everything you've saved.
