Everything you save. Ready when you need it. Stuff is a private home for your notes, documents, screenshots, links and voice recordings across iPhone, iPad and Mac. Save something now, find it when it matters, and put it to work without starting from scratch. SAVE FIRST. KEEP MOVING. Capture text, images, PDFs, Word documents, links, files and voice notes. Paste, drag, share, pick from Photos or Files, use Shortcuts and widgets, or capture from the Mac menu bar. Stuff saves the original before processing it in the background. FIND WHAT YOU NEED. Quick Find brings items, templates and saved facts into one search, with actions to open or copy a result. On Mac, press Command-K to get there without breaking your flow. Search beyond filenames: find words in documents, images, scans and voice transcripts. Use natural language or exact text, filter your library, and see what matched. MAKE YOUR SPACE FEEL LIKE YOURS. Choose Paper, Ocean, Universe or Worlds. Explore a library of document previews, browse grouped stacks, and keep each project, client or collection together in Spaces. Pin favorites and switch views to suit the way you work. COPY THE DETAIL. SKIP THE DIGGING. Quick Copy keeps useful details within reach: names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, dates, links and references. Pin the values you use often, return to recent copies, and check the source before you use a detail. You stay in control of what gets copied or pasted. WRITE ONCE. REPLY FASTER. Turn repeated replies into templates with typed blanks. Fill from Stuff suggests details from your saved content, with sources you can check. Review the completed reply, then copy or share it. Write Markdown notes, preview documents, present PDFs, or turn a Space's photos into a deck. SEE HOW YOUR STUFF CONNECTS. Graph brings your items, tags and Spaces into view. Focus on a project's neighborhood to explore the connections in your library. PRIVATE AND LOCAL BY DESIGN. OCR, extraction, semantic search, embeddings, transcripts and optional local intelligence run on your device. Your library syncs through iCloud when available; downloaded models and search data stay device-local. If you enable link reading, Stuff sends only a public page address to Mobeera's reader service so the page can become searchable. It never sends capability URLs such as private shared-document links. You can turn link reading off at any time. STUFF FREE AND STUFF PRO Stuff Free includes every capture, search, sync, voice, template, Copy, Graph, preview, and presentation feature, plus one Space and up to 20 link reads per day.
