Not everything you save needs to stay forever. UNTIL is your iPhone’s temporary memory: a fast, private place for the things you need right now—and an easy way to let them go when you no longer do. Where you parked. A Wi-Fi code. A ticket. A measurement. A receipt. A link to open later. Save it in seconds, then choose how long you want to keep it: one hour, until tonight, three days, one month, or any date and time you choose. Then get back to what you were doing. UNTIL will keep track of time for you. WITH UNTIL, YOU CAN: • Capture photos, text, links, QR codes, barcodes, PDFs, and documents • Save content directly from the Share menu in other apps • See at a glance what will expire next • Check upcoming expirations from widgets and your Lock Screen • Receive a reminder before something expires • Extend, keep, copy, or share anything you have saved • Recover expired items for up to 24 hours LESS CLUTTER. MORE CONTROL. Traditional apps are designed to keep everything. UNTIL is designed to forget at exactly the right time. When something expires, it leaves your active memory. Changed your mind? You still have 24 hours to recover it. After that, UNTIL removes it at the next opportunity allowed by iOS. TRULY PRIVATE Your content stays on your iPhone. No account. No cloud. No uploads. No advertising, analytics, or tracking. You can also protect access with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode—and decide whether content previews appear in your widgets. Stop turning every piece of information into something permanent. Download UNTIL and give everything exactly the time it needs.
