The only iOS organizer that keeps everything for a topic in one place โ€” your notes, links, files, photos, locations, tasks, AND your contacts. NEW IN v2: Map and Todo card types Pin locations to Apple Maps. Track tasks with built-in checklists. Now seven card types in one beautifully simple app. > THE PROBLEM IB POCKET SOLVES You're heading into a meeting. You need the contract (in email), the client's phone number (in Contacts), your talking points (in Notes), the meeting location (in Maps), and your prep checklist (in Reminders). Five apps. Five searches. Every. Single. Time. iOS has great apps for individual things. IB Pocket is the missing organizer that brings them together โ€” by topic. > SEVEN CARD TYPES, ONE TOPIC BLOCK Text โ€” Quick notes, ideas, and reminders URL โ€” Save any link or website File โ€” PDFs, documents, anything from Files app Contact โ€” Picked from your iOS Contacts Photo โ€” Straight from your photo library Map โ€” Save locations, open in Apple Maps Todo โ€” Built-in checklists with progress tracking > HOW PEOPLE USE IT - Client meetings: contract + client contact + talking points + meeting location + prep checklist - Travel: boarding pass + hotel address (mapped!) + local contacts + sightseeing checklist - Projects: brief + deliverables + team contacts + reference photos + task list - Shopping: gift ideas + store locations + budget notes + people you're shopping for > WHY IB POCKET IS DIFFERENT - The only iOS organizer with native Contacts integration - Now with Apple Maps and Todo lists built in - Beautiful dark mode - Native iPhone + iPad app (not a web wrapper) - Free forever โ€” no ads, no subscription, no in-app purchases > BUILT FOR APPLE IB Pocket is built entirely in SwiftUI with SwiftData and CloudKit โ€” Apple's modern frameworks. Uses native pickers for Contacts, Photos, Files, and Maps. Adaptive layouts for iPhone and iPad, with split-view sidebar on iPad. Privacy by design โ€” your data syncs through your iCloud, never our servers. > FROM AN INDIE DEVELOPER InfoBlocks Pocket is built by a solo developer who got tired of opening five apps before every meeting. Built on weekends, polished with care, and free because that felt right. Have feedback, feature ideas, or want to say hello? Email us anytime โ€” we read every message. Stop scattering.
