Ankorlist - Organise your Life by Topic, not Days Most to-do apps sort by date. Ankorlist sorts by what actually matters, grouping tasks into topics like "House Cleanup" or "Wedding Planning" instead of scattering them across days or smashing them into "Today". It's flow is inspired built the chat apps: write things down fast, cross them off as you go, no complicated systems or setup. Use it solo to stay on top of your own life, or bring in people you trust when your list needs more than one person. Key Features: Chat-style interface → Lists appear in a familiar messaging-style layout that most people already know how to navigate. Write tasks down quickly and cross them off as you go. No complicated planning systems, so you can focus on getting things done. Personal or collaborative → Use Ankorlist as your personal productivity tool, or share lists with trusted peers to stay aligned on goals and tasks. Markdown Notes inside tasks → Each task supports detailed internal notes using a built-in Markdown-supported editor. Add formatted text, structure your ideas, and keep supporting details organized within the task itself. Cross-device access → Sign up once and access your lists across devices. Add tasks from your work phone and check them later on your personal device. Real-time sync → Updates happen instantly, so changes from you or your collaborators appear immediately.

You save a post in X, another in Instagram, another in Threads. A month later you can't remember where you put it. Haberdashery is the one place everything you save lands. Tap Share in any app and the post is kept in a single library you can actually look at: the photos at full size, the text underneath, all of it searchable. KEPT, NOT JUST LINKED The pictures are saved to your device, so a bookmark survives the original post being deleted or the account going private. Articles keep their readable text. Text-only posts are drawn as clean cards. A carousel stays a carousel. FIND THE ONE YOU HALF REMEMBER One search across titles, notes, tags, authors — and the words inside your pictures, read on your phone. Filter by where something came from. Sort by when you saved it, not when it was posted. LOOK AT IT THE WAY YOU THINK A moodboard of pictures, cards with your notes and tags, or a dense list. Favourites. Archive. Collections you make yourself. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account to make. No server holding your saves. Text recognition, tagging and colour analysis run on the device using Apple's own frameworks. The only network request the app makes on its own behalf is to check your purchase. BRING YOUR OLD SAVES Import a CSV from another bookmarking tool, or a folder of exports, and your history comes with you — deduplicated against what you already have. WORKS WITH THE SHARE SHEET Save from X, Instagram, Threads, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Safari and anything else with a Share button. Or paste a link, drop in a photo, or write a note with no link at all. HABERDASHERY PRO Saving, searching and keeping your library are free, forever, and nothing you have saved is ever taken away. Pro adds: • iCloud sync between your iPhone and iPad, through your own account • Unlimited imports • Notes written on your phone from what you save: a recipe from a cooking post, the takeaways from a thread, a summary of an article (requires iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence) • Offline video, so a saved clip plays without signal and outlives the post • Search by colour, and find the things that look alike • Rules that file new saves into collections for you Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase for anyone who would rather not subscribe to anything. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.
