Save any link, note, or PDF in one private place β€” then actually find it again. Attic is a bookmark manager and link saver for everything you mean to come back to: articles, videos, recipes, tickets, receipts, research, and the ideas you would otherwise lose in a browser tab or a chat thread. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE Send links straight from the iOS share sheet in any app, or paste a URL. Titles and preview images are pulled in automatically, so your list stays scannable instead of becoming a wall of raw addresses. ORGANIZED BY SOURCE, AUTOMATICALLY Links group themselves by website. YouTube, recipes, shopping, and research each stay in their own lane β€” no folders to build, no tags to maintain. NOTES IN TWO SECONDS Jot an idea, a to-do list, or the context you will need later. Color-code notes so the ones that matter stand out at a glance. PDFs AND DOCUMENTS Keep files next to the links and notes they belong with. Preview any document in a single tap, and open it again even when you are offline. FIND IT AGAIN Search across links, notes, and documents by keyword. Something you saved three weeks ago is two taps away. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no sign-up. Your saved links, notes, and files stay on your device. Turn on iCloud Sync when you want the same collection on your iPhone and iPad β€” it travels through your own private iCloud account, never through a server of ours. WHO IT IS FOR Students collecting references. Creators saving inspiration. Shoppers comparing products. Travelers keeping tickets. Anyone who wants a simple second brain without learning a whole productivity system. ATTIC PRO Saving items requires an Attic Pro subscription. $39.99 Yearly and $3.99 weekly options are available, and the current price is shown in the app before you purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed at any time in your Apple Account settings. Questions or feedback? We read every message, and it shapes what we build next.
