You save things all the time — articles, videos, posts, recipes, products, notes, places. Then they vanish into a pile you never open again. Limelight fixes that. Save anything from any app, and Limelight reads it for you, pulls out what matters, and sorts it so you can actually find it later. HOW IT WORKS • Save from anywhere. Share a link, post, video, or photo to Limelight from any app. One tap and it's in. • It reads everything for you. Limelight writes a clean summary and the key points of each save, so you remember why you kept it. • It organizes itself. Your saves are grouped by topic automatically — no filing, no setup. • Find anything in seconds. Search by the title or by what's actually inside a save. Results appear as you type. • Keep notes and reminders. Add a quick note to any save, or set a reminder so the things you meant to get to don't slip away. • See what connects. Limelight surfaces related saves, so one good find leads to the next. SAVE ANYTHING Articles, blog posts, and news. Videos from your favorite apps. Recipes, products, and places to go. Photos and your own notes. If it matters to you, it belongs in Limelight. PRIVATE BY DESIGN You sign in with Apple — that's the only account you need. Your saves are yours. Limelight doesn't track you and doesn't sell your data. PRICING Limelight is a paid subscription: $9.99 per month, or $29.99 per year with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in Settings.
