See something that makes you think of someone? Keep it in Taylored. Taylored is a personal place to keep the ideas, finds, and little things you discover for the people in your life. Something they mentioned months ago. A link you stumbled across. That strangely perfect thing you know they'd love. Instead of losing them to screenshots, open tabs, and notes to self, keep each one with the person it's for. KEEP IT FROM ANYWHERE Tap Share in Safari, Photos, or another app, choose Taylored, and pick who it's for. No form to fill in. Already copied a link? Open the app and paste it. ONE LIST PER PERSON Everyone gets their own list. Drop one thing onto another to start a collection when you want a little more structure. COME BACK TO IT ANYTIME Each link is kept with its title and picture, so you can find your way back to where you saw it, whether that's days, months, or years later. Add a note if there's something worth remembering. KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT Tap "Got it" and it moves to its own page, so you remember what you've already given without losing the idea. YOURS, AND NO ONE ELSE'S BUSINESS No account. No ads. No tracking. Your lists are kept in your iCloud, not on our servers — we don't have any. Nothing you save is ever sent to us. Keep the things that make you think of them.
