Trove is a calm, focused place to keep the links you actually want to come back to. A clean shelf. A reading queue. Colored tags. No timelines, no feeds, no algorithms deciding what you should read next. KEY FEATURES โข Save any link with a title, host, note and tags โ straight from inside the app โข All view with instant search across titles, hosts, notes and tags โข Reading Queue for the things you mean to read but never quite get to โข Favorites for the handful of links you actually use again and again โข Color-coded tags so the right corner of your library is one tap away โข Sort by Recent, Oldest, Most Opened or Host โข Open Count next to every link so you can see what you actually return to โข Parchment-and-brass design that stays out of the way DESIGNED FOR FOCUS Trove is built around one idea: a bookmark is only useful if you can find it again. Tag it once, sort by how often you open it, and let the noise fall away. Open the queue, pick the next thing, get back to your day. PRIVACY No accounts. No tracking. No analytics. Your saved links live on your device.
