RecallBox is an intelligent tool for organizing screenshots, links, and knowledge, designed for anyone who has too many screenshots, scattered information, and trouble finding things when they need them. Quickly collect important information: You can bring everyday content into RecallBox through automatic photo library import, Shortcuts, the Action Button, manual image selection, or by saving web links directly. The app organizes all materials in a timeline, making it easy to look back, browse, and find what you need. AI-powered knowledge cards: With AI, RecallBox can automatically identify key information in screenshots and links, extract titles, tags, summaries, quotes, tables, and structured content, and turn them into searchable, reusable knowledge cards. Meeting schedules from chats, study material screenshots, payment records, delivery updates, travel pages, web articles, and quick ideas can all be transformed from scattered materials into a clear and organized personal knowledge base. Smart to-dos and reminders: For content that includes times, deadlines, meetings, tasks, delivery milestones, or travel details, RecallBox can intelligently generate reminders and supports local notifications, system Reminders, and Calendar integration. Important items are grouped by Today, Overdue, and the next 7 days, helping you follow up on time without relying entirely on memory. Efficient search and long-term management: RecallBox also supports full-text search, tag organization, favorites, archiving, iCloud sync, and cleanup of processed screenshots. You can keep the knowledge content while removing the original screenshots from your system photo library, making information easier to find, your photo library cleaner, and everyday organization simpler. Give your screenshots, links, and temporary information to RecallBox, and turn scattered content into structured knowledge that is searchable, remindable, and manageable.

About

Vitae

Snap a payment screenshot and AI logs the expense for you. Vitae brings expense tracking, assets, health, diet, workouts, tasks, important dates, and personal reflection into one app, so logging takes less effort and your days come into focus. It is not just several tools placed side by side. Vitae connects what actually happens in your day: where your money goes, what you eat, how you train, how you sleep, what you complete, and which dates matter. The less effort it takes to log, the clearer your patterns become. [AI expense tracking] Scan a receipt, bill, or payment screenshot. AI extracts the amount, date, merchant, direction, and category, then creates a reviewable entry. You can also import CSV / Excel statements from other apps or banks, with automatic column detection and de-duplication. Categories are fully customizable. [Assets and multi-currency] Track bank, cash, credit card, loan, and investment accounts in one place, with balances and net worth. Multi-currency entries and assets are converted to your default currency, and credit cards support statement and due-date reminders. [Stats by week, month, year, or any range] See income and spending at a glance with category breakdowns, trends, and rankings. Jump to any week, month, or year, or pick a custom date range. [Days: anniversaries and countdowns] Keep track of birthdays, anniversaries, exams, due dates, and more, with automatic day counts until or since. Supports the lunar calendar, weekly / monthly / yearly repeats, categories, pinning, and reminders, plus batch import from countdown-app screenshots. [HealthKit dashboard] With permission, Vitae reads HealthKit data such as weight, steps, sleep, heart rate, active energy, and workouts, then turns them into clear cards and trends. [Workout logging] 80+ built-in exercises across chest, back, shoulders, arms, legs, core, and cardio. Create workout plans, add custom exercises, record sets, weights, reps, time, and distance, use rest timers, and track personal records automatically. [Diet and nutrition] Log meals with 40+ preset foods, custom foods, favorites, and AI photo recognition. Calories, protein, carbs, and fat are shown with visual daily summaries. [Tasks that understand natural language] Use Inbox, Today, Planned, Archive, subtasks, reminders, and custom areas. Type or speak a sentence, and AI turns it into a structured task with title, area, priority, date, and time. [Self-reflection across your data] Vitae generates weekly and monthly reflections from your finance, diet, fitness, HealthKit, and to-do data, focusing on cross-domain patterns such as sleep and activity, spending and eating out, or task completion and body signals. A training coach also offers suggestions based on your recent workouts. [Widgets, Shortcuts, and data export] Home Screen widgets show day countdowns and nutrition, and let you log meals, add tasks, or open any module in one tap. Use Shortcuts to log receipt screenshots or add tasks without opening the app. Export each module's data as a JSON file for your own analysis. [Local-first and private] No sign-up, no ads, no tracking. Your data stays on device by default. If you enable iCloud sync, it is stored in your private Apple ID CloudKit database, inaccessible to the developer. Core logging is free. Vitae membership (monthly, yearly, or lifetime, with identical features) unlocks all premium features and AI.
