Eidetic

The passwords, the codes, the number someone read out to you on the phone. Eidetic keeps them on your iPhone, gets them back when you need them, and now types them for you when you have to sign in. SIGN IN WITHOUT COPY AND PASTE You save a login โ site or app, username, password โ and from then on the iPhone keyboard offers it the moment you reach that site. One tap, Face ID, and the fields fill. In Safari and inside apps. The password comes out only after iPhone has checked it is you: iOS asks, not Eidetic. Without that check nothing is filled in, and an address that merely looks like yours gets no password at all. WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU MUST NOT FORGET A password, a PIN, an IBAN, the address of a place. You write it and it stays there, in an archive encrypted with AES-256 that never leaves the phone. A password or a code gets its own field: it copies on its own, without the words around it, and you edit it when it changes. FIND IT WITH ONE WORD Type a word you remember. Search covers everything you saved, not only the latest items, and it is free without limits. FROM SCREENSHOTS TOO Save a screenshot and the text inside is read on your iPhone: from then on you find it by searching a word, and you can reopen the original image. SHARE โ EIDETIC From Photos, from Safari, from any app: send Eidetic a screenshot, some text or a link and save it without copy and paste. The app shows you what is about to go into the archive before it writes anything. SEND A LIST WORTH LOOKING AT Places for the weekend, gift ideas, recipes to try: pick what to send and it goes as a page โ an image, or a PDF when it runs to several pages. Readable with or without Eidetic. EVERYTHING ON YOUR PHONE No account, no cloud, no data collection. Search, text recognition and AI all run on the device. Notifications never show what you wrote, the archive is kept out of iCloud backups too, and the credentials used for AutoFill never reach iCloud and never move to another phone. ENCRYPTED BACKUP From Settings you can export the archive to a file protected by a password you choose, to move it to another iPhone. DEADLINES ON WHAT YOU KEEP You can give an entry a deadline: what to do, by when, and when to be warned. The deadline, the renewal date and the warning stay three separate things. "To do" lists them, overdue first. If the note already contains a date, Eidetic offers it together with the sentence it read it from: you confirm. PREMIUM (optional) The first entry that carries deadlines is free; adding them to other entries is part of Premium, together with the written AI answer. Whatever you already created stays readable, editable and completable. A one-sentence answer over the memories a search found, computed on your iPhone. Underneath the answer are the memories it came from, with the exact text you saved. Requires a one-time 2.9 GB download. Writing and searching stay free for everyone. No account also means no password recovery: lose the phone without a backup and the archive is gone. That is the price of keeping it only with you.

Konvo is Instagram with only the messages. A paid Konvo subscription is required to access Instagram DMs through the app. Available plans, prices, billing periods, and any eligible free trial are shown before you confirm an Apple in-app purchase. Sign in with your Instagram account and Konvo opens straight to your inbox. The feed, Reels, and Explore never load. Your chats are exactly as you left them, and everything you send and receive shows up in Instagram like normal, because it is Instagram, just only the part you actually need. WHAT KONVO DOES - Opens directly to your Instagram inbox, every time - No feed, no Reels, no Explore, anywhere in the app - Your DMs, group chats, message requests, and story replies all work - You sign in on instagram.com inside the app. Konvo never sees or stores your password BLOCK THE REAL INSTAGRAM, IF YOU WANT Connect Konvo to Screen Time and the Instagram app itself gets blocked behind a shield. Your messages stay one tap away in Konvo. You get two five-minute passes a day to unlock Instagram for the things that need the real app: posting a story, a picture, or calling someone. When the pass ends, Instagram locks itself again. The block is optional and you can turn it off whenever you want. OPTIONAL MESSAGE NOTIFICATIONS AND PRIVACY Get alerts for new Instagram DMs while Konvo is closed. If you enable this feature, Konvo stores an encrypted Instagram sign-in session on its server to check for new messages. Message content is processed temporarily in memory and is not saved. You can disconnect in Message notifications settings. Konvo collects basic usage analytics to improve the app. Konvo requires an Instagram account. Konvo is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram or Meta. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Message notifications are rolling out in a limited pilot for new users, subject to available places. Already connected accounts keep access.
