You've saved hundreds of videos. But how many can you actually find? We turn the videos you save into your own searchable library. Save from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook. Search everything: what was said, what the caption read, what you wrote about it. Jot down a first thought as you save, and it's waiting when you come back. Share whole collections with friends, notes and all. The recipe you saved in March? Only five seconds away. SwipeFile requires a SwipeFile Pro subscription — every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. SEARCH WHAT WAS SAID Every video is transcribed automatically. Type "protein pancakes" or "that book about habits" and the right video comes up, even when the caption never mentioned it. Search understands meaning too, so "dinner ideas" still finds the pasta video. SAVE IN TWO TAPS Tap Share in the app you're watching, pick SwipeFile, done. Add a note or a tag on the spot, or skip it. Either way it's findable later. BRING YOUR EXISTING SAVES Import your Instagram saved posts, liked posts, and collections in one batch. Hundreds of videos become a real library on day one, already sorted into the collections you made. TAGS, NOTES, COLLECTIONS Tag anything you're saving toward: recipes, workouts, gift ideas, outfits, references for your next project. Notes are searchable too, so "the hash browns May sent me" actually works. SHARE ENTIRE COLLECTIONS Send a whole collection over iMessage in one link. Your friend gets all 18 gift ideas, not 18 separate links. Collections shared with you live in your library right next to your own. WHO IT'S FOR Home cooks with 200 saved recipes. Creators keeping a swipe file of hooks and references. Students saving study clips. Anyone whose saved folder has become a black hole. Your library syncs across your devices, and you can export your data anytime. SWIPEFILE PRO — SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED SwipeFile requires a SwipeFile Pro auto-renewing subscription to use its features, including automatic transcription, unlimited search, engagement analytics, and Creator mode. New subscribers start with a 7-day free trial. After the trial, SwipeFile Pro is $39.99/year or $6.99/week. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.
