Note Hoard
Read full descriptionHide full description
Save anything from the web and Note Hoard turns it into a clean, organized note. Summarized, titled, and filed for you, automatically. No chatbot to interrogate. Just your stuff, ready the moment you come back to it. Bookmarks pile up and links get forgotten. A note that's already summarized, tagged, and filed is something you'll actually use. WHAT YOU CAN SAVE - Articles & web pages: the real content is extracted and cleaned up - Videos: from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X/twitter, all transcribed by AI into a searchable note - Images, IG carousels, & screenshots: OCR retrieves clean text - Files: support for PDF, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint - Plain text: upload plaintext files, paste anything, & write your own notes when you need to HOW IT WORKS Tap Share on your phone and choose Note Hoard. That's it. A minute later you've got a clean note with a title, the key points, and tags, filed into the right folder for you. And when you need more control, you can create notes inside the app. AI ENHANCEMENT, HUMAN CONTROL Not every save needs AI. Switch the AI off for a quick bookmark, or set rules that decide exactly when and how it runs. Unprocessed saves are still fully captured and stored. Summarize them later, whenever you're ready. And there's no chatbot you have to prompt to get value: every note is clean and readable on its own. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Note Hoard files new notes into the right folder using a mix of AI and your own routing rules. Or you can place them by hand. Automation when you want it, control when you need it. No rigid system to learn, no "organize nothing" dogma. FIND IT AGAIN Search across every note and tag to resurface what you saved in seconds. YOUR DATA ISN'T TRAPPED Export clean Markdown files anytime. Sync notes straight to a Notion database. Cancel whenever you like. Your notes stay fully accessible. Open formats, no lock-in, ever.

InSight Countdown
Read full descriptionHide full description
Keep what matters in sight. InSight Countdown turns the wait for what matters into something you look forward to seeing. Set a countdown to an exact date and time โ your flight, an exam, a birthday, a deadline โ not just a vague duration. A huge, glanceable countdown fills your screen, ticking down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds to the precise moment. FEATURES โข Count down to an exact date & time Pick the exact calendar date and time of your event โ or a simple duration when that's all you need. The closest event is always front and center. Add a note โ flight number, gate, address โ shown in small type under the name. โข Synced across your devices Your countdowns stay in sync between iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your private iCloud โ the same events, each keeping its own visualization, follow you everywhere. Your countdowns are yours โ their content is never sent to us. โข Choose how time looks Watch time melt away in a draining hourglass, a progress ring, a rounded bar, a Time-Timer-style shrinking disc, a dot grid, a dot dial, a solar eclipse, an unwinding spiral, or a sun along its day arc โ plus themed styles: a Christmas tree lighting up branch by branch, a birthday cake whose candles flicker on, a beach parasol opening as the sun rises, a juice glass that fills, a dumbbell loading up plate by plate, a car climbing a mountain road, a plane arcing around a globe, and lit-up landmarks (the Eiffel Tower, Burj Khalifa). Pick a look that fits the occasion โ a parasol for a trip, a cake for a birthday โ so a glance tells you what's coming. Swipe to switch right on the countdown; each remembers its own. Landscape keeps a linear bar. โข Make it yours Pick a digit font โ from a clean system face to a retro seven-segment LCD โ and tint the whole app with a preset accent color or any color you choose. โข Many countdowns, one glance The nearest event takes the main screen; the rest sit in a quick-access bottom bar. Choose per countdown when it takes the main screen โ always, only when it's near, only on its day, or never โ so a far-off event doesn't crowd out nearer ones. Or watch several at once on any device: Duo fits two to your screen, and a large grid shows four. iPad and Mac add a denser small grid and a zoomed layout that enlarges the nearest event. Called off? Archive it instead of deleting โ it waits until you set a new date. โข Daily & weekly repeats Set a countdown to repeat every day, or on the weekdays you choose (say Mon/Wed/Fri), and it rolls forward automatically after it finishes โ great for routines, classes, standups, and recurring reminders. โข Beat procrastination โ and have fun doing it A deadline you can see is harder to ignore. Keep the countdown in front of you โ full screen or on the Lock Screen โ and watch the remaining time melt away. Better yet, the task you kept putting off becomes a screen you want to watch. โข Lock Screen & Dynamic Island Show your countdowns as Live Activities on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Choose per countdown when it appears. โข Doubles as an alarm across your devices The instant a countdown hits zero, an alert breaks through silent mode and Focus โ and on iOS 26 it rings until you dismiss it โ or snooze it for five more minutes โ so any countdown works as a full alarm. Add an early reminder (from 10 seconds to a day before), or ring the alarm up to 3 minutes ahead. Because your countdowns sync through iCloud, the same alarm can ring on whichever device is with you. โข iPhone, iPad & Mac The full-screen countdown adapts to any size and rotation โ a phone in your pocket, an iPad propped up as an always-on display, or a resizable Mac window. The controls fade away when you're not touching the screen, leaving just the countdown. โข Stays awake when you want Optional screen-lock control keeps the display on โ always or only while charging โ so your countdown stays in sight. Free. No account needed. Your countdowns are yours.
