Synthesize the world through your lens. Stash is your AI second brain for the articles that matter to you. You read. You forget. The insight that felt important disappears by the next morning. Stash is built to fix that, not by collecting more content, but by helping you actually absorb and own what you read. HOW IT WORKS Share any article to Stash from Safari, Chrome, X, or any app. Stash's AI reads the article and gives you two things: a clean summary and context tailored to you, based on your interests, knowledge gaps, and reading history. Not generic. Not one-size-fits-all. Swipe right to save it to your library. Swipe left to move on. Every decision you make teaches Stash more about who you are and what you care about. Over time, Stash becomes an extension of your memory, a living record of how your thinking evolves. WHY STASH IS DIFFERENT Most read-later apps are passive archives. Most AI tools give you generic summaries. Stash does something different: it connects what you read to what you already know, building a second brain that grows with you. - Save from any source โ€” NYT, WSJ, Substack, X, and more - Context tailored to your background, not a generic summary - Swipe-based interface that makes every save intentional - Your knowledge base, built article by article Stash is built for curious people who don't just want to read more โ€” they want to think better.

About

Soil Type Analyzer

Soil Type Analyzer turns the classic mason jar test into a clear answer about the ground you garden, grow, or build on. Soil texture, the balance of sand, silt, and clay, shapes almost everything about how soil behaves: how fast it drains, how well it holds water and nutrients, how easily roots move through it, and which plants will thrive. Soil Type Analyzer helps you find that balance with a simple test you can do at home, no lab and no special equipment. How it works: Shake soil and water together in a clear jar and let it settle. The particles separate into layers, sand on the bottom, then silt, then clay on top. Those layer heights are your soil's texture. Two ways to measure: 1. Photo mode. Take a photo of the settled jar, then slide the on-screen level bars to match each layer. The percentages update as you drag. 2. Manual mode. Prefer a ruler? Enter each layer's thickness in centimeters or inches and let the app do the math. What you get: - Your soil texture class from the USDA system, shown right on the soil texture triangle. - Exact sand, silt, and clay percentages. - Clear, plain-language tips for improving your soil. - Guidance on the kinds of plants suited to your soil. - A built-in illustrated guide for prepping and running the jar test. - A reference chart of all twelve soil types with short descriptions. Private by design: Everything runs on your device. There is no account to create, no ads, and nothing is collected or uploaded. Your photos and measurements stay with you. Made for gardeners, growers, homesteaders, landscapers, students, and anyone curious about the soil beneath their feet.
