Ever screenshot a post and never find it again? ScrapNote is a notepad for the things you find on Instagram, YouTube, Threads and anywhere else. One tap on Share and it's in — and unlike a screenshot, the title, the author and the actual text come with it. ■ One share and you're done Hit Share on whatever you're looking at, pick ScrapNote, and that's it. No opening the app. Nothing to fill in. Nothing to choose. ■ Wherever you saw it, one place Instagram, YouTube, Threads, Safari — it all lands in the same list. Sort it into folders when you feel like it. Until then it waits in Unsorted. ■ Find it when the title is gone from your head Search doesn't stop at the title. It runs through the text you saved, the note you wrote and the author too. "It said low heat somewhere in that recipe" — one word is enough. And it tells you where the match came from: the title, your note, or the original text. ■ The whole thing, in one view Thumbnail, author, the original text and whatever you added, on one screen. Need the real thing? Tap through and the original opens. ■ Dates go straight to your calendar A show, an event, a release date, a gift card about to expire — ScrapNote finds the date in the post and puts it in your calendar with one tap. ■ On your device, and only your iCloud Nothing goes to a server. There is no account and no sign-up. What you save stays on your iPhone and syncs only through your own iCloud. AI summaries run on the device too (requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence). — [Pricing] · 10 notes free, no payment. · After that, subscribe to keep saving. · Monthly or yearly — the yearly plan costs less per month.
