Snap. Tap. Structured. Point your camera at text. Tap the words you want. They're on your clipboard. That's the whole app (apart from the rest of it). Not just plain text — Texty Copy captures structured fields for books, business cards, addresses, quotes, receipts, or any mode you build yourself. No sign-ups. No tutorials. No "upgrade to unlock." You open it, it works. Quick mode Quick mode freezes and copies in one shot — no tapping, no choosing. Sometimes it nails exactly what you wanted. Sometimes you get the barcode. Nailing the Snap → Tap → Copy combo never gets old. Free selection Don't want everything? Tap individual OCR blocks to pick exactly the text you need. Got a wall of blocks? Drag a dashed rectangle across them and grab them all at once. Long-press to select every block on screen. Cherry-pick, bulk-select, or mix the two — the whole frozen frame is yours. Five built-in modes for real life: Text — Grab anything. Paragraphs, labels, serial numbers, that Wi-Fi password on the back of the router. Book — Point at a book. Title and author drop into separate fields, ready to paste into your reading list. Card — Business cards become name, title, company, phone, email, and website. Each field, one tap to copy. Quote — Capture a passage and its source. No more "I think it was from that one book." Address — Street, city, state, zip. Sorted and formatted without you squinting at an envelope. POWER MODE — Make your own Create custom scan modes with exactly the fields you need. Newspaper? Recipe? Invoice? Pick from built-in fields, add smart detectors for dates, prices, phone numbers and links, or write your own regex patterns. Your scanner, your rules. You can even add fields to the built-in modes — want Currency on your Card scanner? Just add it. Smart detectors Five ready-made extractors that find things automatically: • Date — natural-language dates and times • Currency — prices in any format ($1,234.56, €99, 1234 USD) • Phone — phone numbers • Link — URLs and web addresses • Address — full postal addresses in one line • Actually there are more than five Add any of them to any mode with one tap. Custom wraps Add your own prefix and suffix to any copied text. Wrap in quotes, brackets, markdown — whatever your workflow needs. Learn by doing A built-in Learn tab walks you through every feature with hands-on demos you can tap and long-press — the lessons react like the real app. Three tiers: GO for the basics, GO HARDER for the power-user moves, and GO TO FULL POWER for custom modes, fields, and regex. Skim what you need, skip the rest. Private by design All text recognition and extraction happens on-device using Apple Vision. Custom fields, regex patterns, detector matching — everything runs locally. Nothing leaves your phone. No servers. No accounts. No analytics. No data to leak because there's no data to collect. One price. No surprises. Pay once. Use it forever. No subscriptions, no feature gates, no "premium tier." Every feature, every mode, every update — included.

Some ideas only make sense once you can see them. MindFlow gives you an infinite canvas and gets out of the way. Type your central idea, branch it out, and watch the shape of your thinking appear. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Genuinely offline. There is no account, no sign-up, and no sync. Your maps live on your device and nowhere else — which means MindFlow works on a plane, on the subway, and in an exam hall. No subscription. The whole core app is free. Six ways to see the same idea. Free-form, radial, tree right, tree down, org chart, and fishbone. Switch and every node glides into its new arrangement — the same thoughts, a completely different perspective. Focus mode. Spotlight one branch, dim everything else, and think about one thing at a time. Present mode. Step through your map branch by branch, with zoom and highlight. Your brainstorm becomes a walkthrough without any extra work. Outline view. Every visual map is also a clean indented outline. Edit either side; both stay in sync. It is the fastest route from a messy brainstorm to a structured first draft. Fifteen templates. SWOT, decision tree, study notes, project plan, essay outline, meeting agenda, weekly planner and more — each one a real starting structure, not an empty page. Export it anywhere. PNG, PDF, plain-text outline, JSON backup, or OPML for other tools. BUILT FOR THE WAY PHONES ARE ACTUALLY HELD A canvas that stays smooth under your thumb. Large touch targets. Auto-save every five seconds, so you never think about saving. Unlimited maps. PRIVACY No account. No sign-up. No personal data collected. Your maps never leave your device. An internet connection is used only to display ads. MindFlow is for the moment when you have too many thoughts and not enough shape. Give them one.
