Your Notion databases, one tap away. Nutshell turns the databases you already have in Notion into a fast, focused mobile app. Tasks, groceries, habits, reading lists, projects — whatever you track in Notion, Nutshell puts it on your home screen and gets you in and out in seconds. A TAB BAR THAT'S YOURS Build your own navigation. Each tab on the bottom bar shows a list, a group of lists you pick, or every list from a database — as many or as few tabs as you want. CAPTURE IN SECONDS Add new pages with a quick-entry sheet that feels like a dedicated to-do app, not a document editor. Templates can pre-fill properties for you — a page added from your "Today" list is already dated today. LISTS THAT MATCH YOUR SETUP Filter and sort pages the way you do in Notion, and choose exactly which properties each card shows. No digging through pages to find the view you need. EDIT ON THE GO Check things off, update properties, and append quick notes to a page's content — all without waiting for Notion to load. WORKS OFFLINE Your pages are stored on your device. Changes are saved locally first and synced to Notion; if you're offline, just sync again when you're back. WIDGETS FOR ANY LIST Put any list on your home screen with customizable widgets. Tap an item to open it in Nutshell or jump straight to Notion — your choice. FREE TO TRY, PRO WHEN YOU'RE READY The free version lets you connect one Notion workspace and browse your databases. Nutshell Pro unlocks editing and quick add, home screen widgets, unlimited tabs and workspaces, and every layout — available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. --- Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula Nutshell requires a Notion account. Nutshell is an independent app and is not affiliated with Notion Labs, Inc.

ContextFlow is your AI-powered second brain — built to help you remember, understand, and actually use the content you consume. We all save reels, videos, notes, links, and voice memos, thinking we’ll come back to them later. But later rarely comes. ContextFlow fixes this by turning everything you save into organised, searchable knowledge — and reminding you when it matters. Save anything in one place ContextFlow lets you save Instagram Reels, YouTube videos and Shorts, links, text notes, and voice memos. Everything becomes part of your personal knowledge base, ready whenever you need it. AI summaries that help you understand faster Long videos and endless reels don’t need to be rewatched. ContextFlow automatically summarises what you save, highlights key ideas, and extracts actionable insights so you understand more in less time. Chat with your saved content Ask questions and get answers based only on what you’ve saved. Whether you want a quick recap, deeper explanation, or action steps, ContextFlow uses AI to respond accurately using your own content — like chatting with your second brain. Smart reminders & weekly digests Saved content shouldn’t disappear into forgotten folders. ContextFlow sends smart reminders and weekly digests that resurface what you’ve saved, summarize what you consumed, and help you turn ideas into action. Voice notes that become knowledge Record voice memos anytime. ContextFlow transcribes, summarises, and makes them searchable so your thoughts don’t get lost. Build better knowledge habits Streaks, badges, and progress tracking help you stay consistent and turn passive scrolling into intentional learning — without pressure or overwhelm. Why ContextFlow? Most apps help you save content. ContextFlow helps you actually use it. If you consume a lot of information but feel like nothing sticks, this is the missing layer between consumption and implementation. The app is free to download. Premium features require an in-app purchase. Terms of Use (EULA) https://www.contextflow.tech/terms Privacy Policy https://www.contextflow.tech/privacy
