Everything worth a second look, kept in one calm place. A link you meant to read. A photo of a label. The PDF someone sent you. A voice memo about a chair you saw in a shop. Right now those live in ten different apps, and you find them again by accident. Stashy is where they all go instead. SAVE ANYTHING • Links, with the title, the site and its picture pulled in for you • Photos from your library or straight from the camera • PDFs and files from anywhere on your device, up to 25 MB • Notes written in Markdown, with headings, lists and links • Voice memos, written down as you record them so you can search what you said • Paper, scanned into a clean multi page PDF You do not have to open the app to save something. Tap Share in Safari, Photos, Files or anywhere else, pick Stashy, and it is waiting next time. On iPad and Mac you can also just drop things onto the window. IT READS SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO Every save is read once, on your device, by Apple's on device model. It gets a short summary in the page's own language, a category chosen from the ones you already keep, and hidden keywords that make it findable later. Nothing is uploaded to do any of this. It runs on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. FIND IT AGAIN Search looks through titles, summaries and those hidden keywords, so you can search for what something was about rather than what it was called. It even works across languages: search "Stuhl" and an English article about a chair still turns up. Or just ask. Ask Your Library answers questions from your own saves and shows you which ones it used. Your saves appear in Spotlight too, so you can find one without opening Stashy at all. REMIND YOURSELF, LATER Open anything and pick a time in one tap: in an hour, this evening, tomorrow, this weekend, next week, or an exact time you choose. The Reminders tab groups everything by when it is due, and you can snooze or tick things off with a swipe. Reminders are scheduled privately on your device. IT SORTS ITSELF OUT Your categories are tiles in the Library. New saves file themselves into them, and when something genuinely fits nowhere, Stashy suggests a new one. Rename them, re emoji them, or leave them alone. ONE LIBRARY, EVERY SCREEN Stashy is a real iPhone app, a real iPad app and a real Mac app, not one stretched to fit the others. The Mac version has a sidebar, a menu bar item and keyboard shortcuts for everything. It all syncs through your own iCloud, so what you save on one is already there on the others, and one purchase covers all three. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign up. Your library lives in your own iCloud, and summaries, categories, keywords and voice transcription all happen on your device. Stashy is made by one person. If it turns out to be useful, a rating genuinely helps.
