About

Foretap

Read full description

Foretap is a free, private app-discovery surface on iPhone. Apps are organized into named sections β€” Pinned, Work, Travel, Reading β€” that stack vertically on a single screen. Each section has its own sourcing logic: manual lists, recently used, frequently used, time-of-day windows, or Focus-mode bindings. Sections rise to the top automatically when their context applies. Three home-screen widgets, App Intents, Shortcuts, and Siri integration are included. No subscriptions. No advertising. No tracking.
