Thought Path is an inbox to quickly capture all your thoughts, ideas, and tasks. Easily see the output of your brain over time, on a map, or in search results. You can integrate Thought Path with Shortcuts, to automate capturing and reviewing your thoughts. Though Path is free to use indefinitely, but you will need to review and archive all your thoughts once you reach a cap of 15. Pro users can remove this limit with a subscription fee. This app is made by a sole indie developer, and that means I care about user experience, not collecting user data. All your thoughts and ideas are saved on device and synced over iCloud - nothing is ever sent anywhere else for any reason.

Tap the paper. Pluck is a smart document scanner that turns every scan into something you can use. Instead of a PDF that sits in your files, Pluck pulls out the phone numbers, emails, addresses, dates, and key info, ready to tap and act on. See a number on a bill? Tap to call. Address on a flyer? Tap for directions. Due date on a statement? Tap to add a reminder. No retyping. No switching apps. What Pluck does • Scans pages with your camera or imports PDFs and photos • Reads the text and finds the details that matter — phones, emails, links, addresses, dates, tracking numbers, any key info • Lets you tap any extracted item to act on it: call, email, navigate, copy, create a contact, set a reminder, open a link • Organizes everything with tags, stars, and search so nothing gets lost • Syncs your scans across iPhone and iPad through iCloud Why people use Pluck instead of a regular scanner Other scanners give you a picture. Pluck gives you the data inside the picture. Receipts you can search by amount. Bills with one-tap "pay" links. Business cards that become contacts in a tap. Long PDFs you can analyze a page at a time. Private by default No account required. No tracking. Your scans live in your iCloud, not on someone else's server. Stop scanning, never sign up. -- Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: http://privacy.pluck-app.com
