The passwords, the codes, the number someone read out to you on the phone. Eidetic keeps them on your iPhone and gets them back when you need them. WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU MUST NOT FORGET A password, a PIN, an IBAN, the address of a place. You write it and it stays there, in an archive encrypted with AES-256 that never leaves the phone. FIND IT WITH ONE WORD Type a word you remember. Search covers everything you saved, not only the latest items, and it is free without limits. FROM SCREENSHOTS TOO Save a screenshot and the text inside is read on your iPhone: from then on you find it by searching a word, and you can reopen the original image. SHARE → EIDETIC From Photos, from Safari, from any app: send Eidetic a screenshot, some text or a link and save it without copy and paste. The app shows you what is about to go into the archive before it writes anything. SEND A LIST WORTH LOOKING AT Places for the weekend, gift ideas, recipes to try: pick what to send and it goes as a page — an image, or a PDF when it runs to several pages. Readable with or without Eidetic. EVERYTHING ON YOUR PHONE No account, no cloud, no data collection. Search, text recognition and AI all run on the device. Notifications never show what you wrote, and the archive is kept out of iCloud backups too. ENCRYPTED BACKUP From Settings you can export the archive to a file protected by a password you choose, to move it to another iPhone. REMINDERS Eidetic spots dates in what you write and offers to remind you. PREMIUM (optional) A one-sentence answer over the memories a search found, computed on your iPhone. Underneath the answer are the memories it came from, with the exact text you saved. Requires a one-time 2.9 GB download. Writing and searching stay free for everyone. No account also means no password recovery: lose the phone without a backup and the archive is gone. That is the price of keeping it only with you.
