FetchBag keeps the things you reuse close at hand. Save text, documents, images, and links in one focused place, then find them again using the details you remember. Instead of relying on filenames or remembering where you put something, connect what you save to the context that makes it meaningful—people, places, dates, and tags. Search for what you know, or combine those connections to narrow down what you're looking for. Use FetchBag for things like: • Frequently used text snippets and replies • Documents you regularly need to show or share • Images you want to find again quickly • Links you return to regularly • Information you repeatedly use when filling out forms Find it your way. Use Search when you remember a word, name, place, or other detail. Use QuickBag to combine multiple criteria—such as type, people, places, tags, and dates—into a more focused search. If it's a search you'll use again, save it as a FetchBag. Saved FetchBags stay current as what you've saved changes. Built for Apple workflows. FetchBag works with Apple Shortcuts, letting you add and search without opening the app. Search results can become part of larger automations—fetch reusable text and copy it to the clipboard, find a document and pass it to another action, or use your connections to narrow down exactly what you need. FetchBag is designed around retrieval. The goal is simple: spend less time remembering where something lives and more time using it. Save it. Connect it. Fetch it.
