Scalo is the inbox for everything you find online and want to deal with later. The name means "stopover" in Italian — a place where things pause before moving on. That's exactly what Scalo does: it holds your links, text, and images until you're ready to read, share, or file them away. Your content is just passing through. SAVE ANYTHING, FROM ANYWHERE Share a link, a snippet of text, or an image from any app — Scalo catches it instantly via the iOS Share Sheet. You can also create items directly inside the app with the + button. No folders, no tags, no setup. Just save and move on. TRIAGE YOUR INBOX When you have a moment, open Scalo and work through your inbox. Swipe right to mark something done, swipe left to share or delete it. Long-press for more options: open, copy, complete, or remove. It feels as natural as managing your email. LINKS COME ALIVE Every link you save is automatically enriched with its title and a visual preview. Tap a link to read it in a built-in browser — no app switching required. FILTER AND SORT Filter your inbox by content type — links, text, or images — with a single tap. Sort by newest or oldest first. Choose relative dates or absolute timestamps. Your preferences stick between sessions. SYNCED VIA iCLOUD Your items sync privately across all your devices through iCloud. No account to create, no server to trust. Your data stays yours. SIMPLICITY BY DESIGN Light, dark, or automatic theme. Customizable thumbnail position. A clean, focused interface that gets out of your way. Scalo does one thing and does it well. SIRI SHORTCUTS Save content to Scalo hands-free with Siri or automate your workflow with the Shortcuts app.
