You're scrolling Instagram in bed. You find an amazing design resource. You're on the train and someone shares a movie recommendation. You're at work and spot an article you want to read tonight. It's not the right time, but you don't want to lose it. Thoughts lets you save anything from any app using the native share sheet. But here's what makes it different: you set the reminder and category right there, before you even leave the app you're in. One tap, and you're done. No switching apps. No "I'll remember later." No forgotten bookmarks. SHARE SHEET THAT ACTUALLY WORKS Tap share from Safari, Instagram, YouTube, or any app. The link, title, and content are captured automatically. Pick a reminder time and category — all without leaving the app you're in. REMINDERS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE Quick options — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, tonight, tomorrow — or set a custom date and time. Get notified exactly when you're ready to act on it. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Create categories like Movies, Books, Design, Videos — whatever fits your life. Assign them in a single tap when you save. ADD MEMOS & CONTEXT Jot down notes on anything you save — "watch this with Sarah on Sunday" or "use this for the pitch deck." Future you will thank you. SEAMLESS iCLOUD SYNC Save a link on your iPhone, check it later on your Mac. Everything stays in sync across all your Apple devices. No login required in the app. BEAUTIFUL & MINIMAL A clean, calm interface with light, dark themes. No clutter, no sign-ups, no accounts. Just your thoughts, waiting for you. Thoughts is free to use. Stop losing the things you find interesting.

EverFile turns the paper and screenshots piling up in your life into an organized, searchable, private document vault. Add a document by scanning it, taking a photo, importing a file, or sharing a screenshot — EverFile's AI reads it, gives it a clear title, sorts it into the right category, and pulls out the details that matter: amounts, dates, numbers, names. FIND ANYTHING IN SECONDS Every document is automatically sorted into smart categories — receipts, invoices, warranties, insurance, IDs, tickets, contracts, medical records, and more. Search by title or content and jump straight to what you need. NEVER MISS A DATE EverFile spots the dates that matter — passport renewals, warranty end dates, bill payments, departure times — and reminds you before it's too late. YOUR DOCUMENTS, ON EVERY DEVICE Turn on iCloud sync and your vault follows you: add a document on your iPhone, open it on your iPad. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your documents are stored only on your device and in your own iCloud — never on our servers. Lock the app with Face ID for an extra layer of protection. WHAT YOU CAN STORE • Receipts, invoices, bank statements, payslips • Warranties, contracts, leases, utility bills • Passports, ID cards, driver licenses, visas • Boarding passes, train and event tickets, hotel bookings • Insurance policies, medical reports, prescriptions, lab results • Notes, to-do lists, shopping lists, recipes and more Start free and see how good it feels to have every important document one search away.
