Stop losing the good stuff. Links, to-dos, notes, files and dates, together in one space for each thing you're doing. Save from any app, share a space with whoever's involved, and find anything by asking. Planning a trip? Right now the hotel link is in Safari, "buy the JR pass" is in Reminders, the itinerary is in Notes, the ticket PDF is in Files and the dates are in Calendar. In Niffler they all go in one space: Japan trip. SAVE FROM ANY APP Tap Share in Safari, Photos, Messages or any other app and choose Niffler. Pick the space and it lands there. Links arrive with their title, icon and preview already filled in. ONE SPACE FOR EACH THING YOU'RE DOING A trip, a move, a renovation, the household, a hobby. Give each one a space with an emoji, split it into sections, pin the ones you use every day and group the rest into folders. LINKS, TO-DOS, NOTES, FILES AND DATES Save links, tick off to-dos, write notes, and keep images and PDFs right next to them. Turn a space into a planner to lay things out by day, with a date range for a trip. Give a to-do a date and time, and switch on reminders to get a nudge. Connect Google Calendar and your events show up alongside, read-only. SHARE A SPACE Planning with someone? Invite whoever's involved. Everyone adds to the same space and sees changes as they happen. Or publish a space as a page anyone can open with the link. FIND IT, OR ASK Search goes by meaning, not just exact words: "that ramen place in Osaka" finds it even if you never typed "ramen". Or ask a question and get the answer from what you saved. MADE FOR IPAD AND IPHONE DUO On iPad, your spaces sit in a sidebar beside the one you're in, with keyboard shortcuts. On iPhone Duo, the bar stands down the side of the outer display, and unfolding gives you the iPad layout. ON YOUR OTHER SCREENS Niffler is also on the web at niffler.app, and in Chrome with the browser extension. Everything stays in sync. FREE, MADE BY ONE PERSON Every feature, for everyone. No ads, no paid plan, nothing to cancel. Export everything you've saved whenever you like, from Settings. Niffler is invite-only for now. Join the waiting list at niffler.app and we'll let you in.

Scan your documents. Keep them handy. Share on your terms. Keep IDs, passports, insurance, contracts and receipts in one place on iPhone and iPad. SCAN AND ORGANIZE Scan paper documents or import from Files and Photos. Review the details before saving, organize documents in personal folders and search recognized text. DATES WITHOUT RETYPING Amano suggests expiry dates. You check and confirm them. Set a reminder before a document expires. SHARE COPIES Add a signature or watermark to supported PDF and image copies. Say who the copy is for and why, while leaving your stored original unchanged. A watermark communicates intended use; it cannot prevent someone copying or reusing a file. COPY USEFUL DETAILS Extract useful information from your documents on your device. Copy one field or all extracted details. Check the results against the original. Smart extraction requires a compatible device with Apple Intelligence enabled and its model downloaded; availability also depends on supported languages and regions. PERSONAL iCLOUD BACKUP Keep documents on your device and optionally back them up in your own iCloud account. No Amano account is required. Storage depends on available device and iCloud space. 7 DAYS FREE. THEN PAY ONCE. New customers get seven days with all features unlocked, subject to device availability. Purchase permanent access whenever you choose. No subscription and no automatic charge. After the trial, saved documents remain viewable and exportable as plain copies, without adding an Amano signature or watermark. Previously extracted information remains copyable. A purchase is required to keep adding documents and using paid features.
