Saved a lot, but never opened it again? Collection Monster brings links, WeChat articles, images, screenshots, text, and files into one clean library, then uses the AI model you choose to turn them into readable, searchable, and actionable knowledge. CAPTURE WITHOUT INTERRUPTING YOUR FLOW Save from the Share Sheet, Quick Add, Photos, or Files. Your item is stored first, so you can move on without waiting for AI processing. SHARE AND REVISIT Create revocable links to saved items. Preview the title, summary, and source before sharing; long-press a card to move it to a library or set a reminder. READ THE SUMMARY, THEN THE FULL ARTICLE AI can create an introduction, key takeaways, tags, a value score, and suggested next actions. The original article and AI guide live on the same page, and web links open directly in your browser. CLEANER WEB READING Collection Monster extracts the main text and useful images while reducing avatars, QR codes, ads, and decorative graphics. ONE PLACE FOR EVERY IMAGE Browse saved images in a masonry gallery. Swipe through originals, select and delete multiple images, or save images to Photos. REDISCOVER WHAT MATTERS Recommendations surface valuable and actionable saves. Monster Radio can read the original text or the AI-organized version aloud. YOUR MODEL, YOUR CHOICE Use supported compatible model providers. API keys are kept in the device Keychain. Without AI configuration, Collection Monster still works as a local-first reading and collection library. Also includes duplicate-link detection, Trash, iPad layouts, native experiences for Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV, plus optional iCloud sync. Saving is only the beginning. Make every item easy to revisit and ready for your next action. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
