About

Catchall

Features
Read full description

Catchall is a private, completely local, digital junk drawer. Text, images, files, documents, almost anything can be saved, then found, and then used when you need it. Nothing is saved unless you save it. FILLING THE DRAWER • Share to Catchall from any app • Paste what you copied — text, images, links, files • Import from Files or Photos, or scan text with the camera • Quick Capture: save your clipboard without opening the app FINDING IT AGAIN • Search reaches everything, however full the drawer gets • Filter by type: links, contact info, tracking numbers, dates, code, documents, videos, audio and more • Tag anything, pin what you need at hand • Search by meaning, not only the words you typed • Text inside images, PDFs and documents is read and searchable ON YOUR DEVICE, AND NOWHERE ELSE No accounts, no servers, no analytics, no ads. Nothing you keep here leaves your device unless you send it somewhere yourself. Catchall can name your items, tag them and describe your images — all on device, using Apple's own models, and all of it off until you turn it on. Backups are encrypted and written wherever you choose. Deleted items wait in the trash for 30 days. Sensitive items stay hidden until you ask for them. FREE AND PAID The free version keeps everything you save — search, filters and sorting reach all of it — and shows 8 items at a time. A one-time purchase shows the whole drawer at once.
