About

Dump

Features
Read full description

Dump is a private place for everything you want to remember. Save a link, a thought, a restaurant, a recipe, a movie, or the name of something a friend mentioned—from Dump or directly from another app's share sheet. New items can stay in Inbox until you feel like organizing them—or forever. Dump adds useful link titles, descriptions, and artwork after saving. On supported devices, Apple Intelligence can privately suggest editable hashtags and a collection; nothing is moved automatically. Find what matters with fast search across titles, notes, links, hashtags, and collection paths. Built around your privacy: - Everything is saved on your device first - Optional sync uses your private iCloud account - No Dump account or developer-operated storage backend - No ads or tracking Dump is intentionally simple: capture first, organize only when useful, and retrieve without relying on memory.
