UNIVERSAL CAPTURE Accepts URLs, photos, videos, audio, files and text from any app. Automatic source detection (Safari, YouTube, Instagram, X, Photos...). AUTO-GENERATED PREVIEWS Every item gets a thumbnail: web pages via live browser, photos/videos from first frame, files via QuickLook, audio as waveform, text as typographic render. Thumbnail gallery with on-demand regeneration. AI DESCRIPTION, OCR & TRANSCRIPTION AI image/video description: Apple Vision (free, on-device), OpenAI GPT-4 Vision or Anthropic Claude.

Smart Views: All, Recent (7 days), Unread, With Location, With AI. Configurable sort: manual, newest, oldest, title, source. Filter by type: URL, file, photo, video, audio, text. FULL-TEXT SEARCH & SPOTLIGHT Instant search across titles, URLs, notes, AI descriptions and transcriptions. All items indexed in system Spotlight — searchable from the home screen. RICH METADATA Auto-fetch of web page title and last-modified date (bold title signals updated content). Reverse geocoding of GPS coordinates in photos. WIDGET WidgetKit widget in small, medium and large sizes showing unread items in real time. BACKUP & RESTORE Full JSON export/import (items, folders, settings, thumbnails) with Replace or Merge mode. PRIVACY All your data stays on your device. No account, no server, no ads. Network calls only when you explicitly enable web fetching or AI description via your own API key. iCloud sync, folder by folder Choose exactly which folders you want to find on your other devices. A long press on a folder offers "Sync with iCloud": its photos, videos, files and links — including previews — automatically appear on your iPhone, iPad and Mac linked to the same Apple account. Folders that are not synced remain strictly local. A "Resync iCloud" option lets you reconcile state across devices in one gesture. Link previews: lock, zoom, crop You can now lock a link's preview so it never changes, or enlarge the preview by a factor of 2 to better see thumbnails from your favorite sites. A new setting automatically crops the white or black bands surrounding some previews. Organization: everything by drag-and-drop Reorganize your folders by dragging them in the sidebar. Move an item from one folder to another simply by dragging it onto the destination folder. No more drop-down menus. Paste a link from the clipboard A new menu entry lets you directly add the currently copied link, without going through another app's "Share" menu. Manage your space better The info panel now shows the space used in iCloud when sync is active. A long press on each line gives access to quick actions. The "Delete local data only" option frees up space while keeping your synced folders intact.

Keep proof of the work. Project Logger helps you turn project photos, invoices, receipts, warranties, parts, materials and completion notes into a clear record of what was done. Use it for restorations, repairs, builds, services and project handovers - from cars, bikes and camper vans to home projects, garden work, boats, tools, electronics and workshop jobs. WHY USE PROJECT LOGGER? Project work is easy to forget once it is finished. Photos get buried in your camera roll. Receipts live in emails. Warranties go missing. Hidden details are covered, painted, buried or closed up. Project Logger gives you one structured place to keep the record. WHAT YOU CAN RECORD - Before, during and after photos - Hidden details before they disappear - Parts, materials, model numbers and serial numbers - Invoices, receipts and quotes - Payment records and completion notes - Warranties, manuals and certificates - Maintenance notes for the next person - Project timelines and evidence records BUILT FOR REAL PROJECTS Create an Item, add a Project, then start capturing evidence. Record what was done, what was used, what was paid for and what matters later. Useful for: - Car and bike restorations - Van and camper conversions - Home and garden projects - Workshop repairs - Boat refits - Machinery and tool servicing - Electronics and maker projects - Client handovers and resale records HIDDEN DETAILS Some work becomes impossible to inspect later. Project Logger helps you capture wiring, pipe routes, repairs, fittings, fixings, parts, materials and other important details before they are covered or forgotten. PROJECT RECORD PACKS Create a clear record for future maintenance, resale, insurance, client handover or your future self. Project Logger helps you answer: - What was done? - When was it done? - Who did it? - What parts or materials were used? - What invoices, receipts or warranties apply? - What evidence proves completion? - What should the next person know? IMPORTANT Project Logger organises user-provided records. It does not certify safety, quality, legality, compliance or workmanship unless a separate authorised certificate or professional sign-off is included.
