Screenshots you forgot you took. Links you shared and never reopened. Tuck remembers them for you. Coupon deadlines, bookings, deliveries, read-later links — just take a screenshot or share it to Tuck. It reads the content and reminds you right before it matters. How it works 1. Take a screenshot, or pick Tuck in any app's share sheet. 2. Tuck analyzes it on your device and finds the deadline and the next action. 3. A reminder arrives before it's too late — one tap runs the action. What Tuck detects • Coupon and voucher expiration dates • Bookings, shows, and flights • Delivery updates and tracking numbers • Payments and bills • Places and addresses • Links to read later One-tap actions Use the coupon, add to calendar, track the package, open the map, reopen the link — right from the card. Done items move to the Archive and stay reachable. Private by design • All analysis happens on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to a server. • No account, no sign-up, no cloud. • Your photos stay untouched — deletion always goes through the iOS confirmation dialog. Every core feature is free. Just take the screenshot. Tuck reminds you at the right moment.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Tuck at none against Pinote's shown. Pinote's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
