Stash is the fastest way to save a link or a bit of text on one device and pick it up on another. Built like all my apps: private by design, no accounts, no tracking. Save it, find it later, get on with your day. Like everything I make, Stash starts from a simple foundation: your data is yours. There's no account to create, no server of mine holding your stuff, and no tracking of any kind. Everything syncs through your own iCloud and stays there. I built Stash because I kept finding links on my phone that I wanted to view later on my Mac, and vice versa. Like many people, I would message them to myself. That was not an elegant or user-friendly solution. I just wanted a box to toss things into that would sync everywhere. Everything else I tried wanted to be a read-it-later service, had a different goal in mind, wanted me to create an account, had unnecessary "social" features, or had questionable privacy.
