How many things have you saved, only to never find them again? Xiaohongshu guides, Bilibili tutorials, Zhihu long-reads, that one podcast segment—you saved them all back then. Later, they got scattered across chat histories, browser bookmarks, notes, and "Read Later" lists. When you finally needed them, all you had left was a vague keyword you couldn't quite remember. Procut does it differently: All you have to do is copy. ■ Copy a link, and it turns into a card on its own Open the app, and the link in your clipboard will be automatically recognized, extracted, and organized into a card featuring a cover image, title, main text, and author. Over 20 platforms are supported, including Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Bilibili, Zhihu, Weibo, Jike, Douban, X, Instagram, YouTube, and Reddit. No screenshots needed, no copying and pasting the text, and no more worrying about the original post being deleted—the text and images stay right here with you. ■ One space, four ways to view The list view is perfect for quick scanning, the waterfall layout is great for browsing images, the gallery is ideal for flipping through albums, and CoverFlow transforms your notes into a row of large image cards that you can flip through horizontally across the screen. The same collection of content, viewed exactly how you want. ■ Find anything in seconds, no matter how much you save Three layers of organization: Folders, Tags, and Smart Filters; Combine platforms, authors, types, and dates into custom filters and save them. Tap any avatar to instantly view only that author's content. ■ Save while listening, and pick up right where you left off Podcasts and videos feature a persistent mini-player that can be minimized into a floating ball docked to the edge. It doesn't block your content and keeps you on the current page; next time you open it, it automatically resumes from where you left off. ■ Your collection belongs only to you Data is stored locally and synced across devices via your own private iCloud database— We have no servers, and we cannot read any of your content. Clipboard access only happens when you open the app, and you can turn it off in settings at any time. ■ Designed to fit seamlessly into your workflow One-tap save via the system share menu · Shortcuts · Automation rules for "Read Later" · Four content typography themes · Trash bin · 12 languages · Full adaptation for iPhone / iPad Split View / Mac. —— About Premium —— Basic capturing, parsing, organizing, and browsing are completely free.
