Quickly and easily access your files (Photos, Images, Videos, Documents and more), you can also create text notes and URL links from the web or social networks (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Youtube, WhatsApp, among others). Many times we need to open important files such as: ID documents, tax documents, digital certificates and even vaccination certificates to access different places, and we have had to search for these files among the folders of our device, sometimes without being sure where they really are. It is no longer necessary to perform these searches every time we need to open them, just add the files or share them from any other app so that it will never be difficult to find them again. This app started as a project to have a quick access to our vaccination certificate, however, it had potential for much more. The tickets to enter the cinema to see our favorite movie is very easy and comfortable. It was no longer necessary to send the files to our friend or family by WhastApp or any other app to be accessible, to all this was included the option to create text notes and register URL links to save any important information or have quick access to any publication, social networking profile, websites and even information that we have stored in the cloud. The features of this app make it unique and versatile allowing interaction with many other apps to share files or data with each other. Its simple design makes it very intuitive for any type of user, from the most advanced to those who are not very familiar with technology.
