Stop scattering notes across ten different apps. Collecty is where everything you want to keep ends up: a quick note, a link, a photo, a file, a recording, an event. Tap +, choose what to save, and each thing becomes a card on your board, ready when you need it again. COLLECT ANYTHING Written notes, links, images, PDFs and documents, voice notes, events. Save from other apps with the iOS share sheet: whatever you're reading lands in Collecty without leaving where you are. Tap a saved link to see its preview right away: image, description, tags and colors. FIND IT BY TAG AND BY COLOR AI tags everything you save and reads the colors of your photos, drawings, links and files. With Explore, pick a topic, slide across the rainbow, and your collection lines up by the color you have in mind: that green sofa, that red photo, that recipe you saw weeks ago. INSPIRATION FROM THE WEB From the color or tag you're looking at, find similar photos on the web and save them in one tap, with the photographer's credit. Or run the same search on Pinterest, Instagram, X and TikTok, or look up an image with Google Lens. AN EDITOR THAT KEEPS UP Headings and subheadings, bold and italic, bulleted and numbered lists, checklists, tables, images, colors. It saves itself as you type. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Sort things into collections with a name and a color. Pin what matters, and archive what you don't need right now without deleting it. Choose how to see your notes: grid, list or canvas. Select several items at once to move, lock, archive or share them. And search that actually finds things, inside the text of every note. BRING IN WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE Import your notes from other apps as Markdown or plain text: Notion, Obsidian, Bear and any app that exports .md or .txt. Export whenever you like as PDF, Markdown or text. MADE FOR iOS Liquid Glass design, light and dark themes, iPhone and iPad. Quick to open, easy to use. COLLECTY PRO The Pro plan unlocks: Collecty AI: rewrites, proofreads, summarizes, translates, expands, writes titles and files your notes for you. 100 AI credits a month. Auto-tagging and Explore: AI tags your collection and reads its colors, so you can find anything by topic and by color. At a Glance: tags and colors for any item in one panel, with similar items in your collection, similar photos on the web and Google Lens search. Voice notes: record on the go and turn your voice into text. Locked notes: protect what nobody else should read with Face ID or Touch ID. Drawings: a freehand sketch right inside your note. Shared collections: invite anyone and work together on the same collection. Apple Calendar: your events alongside your notes, and AI that pulls dates and plans out of your text. 250 GB of storage for your attachments, instead of 5 GB. Without Pro, Collecty is fully usable: notes, attachments, collections, archive, search, import and export are all included, with 5 GB of storage. Your subscription renews automatically.
