Nokosu is an app for instantly "keeping" memos, to-dos, camera photos, album images, and more. With its simple, effortless feel, you can jot down your thoughts just as they come. β Capture the moment One button in the bottom-right corner. Text, a photo you snap on the spot, or an image from your library β save it the instant it comes to mind. β Memos and to-dos Text you want to keep goes in a memo; things to get done go in a to-do. Both are just as quick to save the moment they come to mind β and you can switch between memo and to-do anytime. β Stack to organize Just stack one memo onto another and a new folder is created automatically. Things tidy themselves with a simple touch. β Drag & drop, freely Move memos and folders anywhere with drag & drop. Reorder them, move them in and out of folders β everything just as you like. β Look back on the calendar You can browse your memos on a calendar, by the date they were created. β iCloud sync Sync your memos in real time across devices signed in with the same Apple Account, including Nokosu for Mac. β Bookmarks Bookmark important memos and call them up anytime from the Bookmarks list. β Nokosu Pro β A monthly plan that bundles features for keeping things even more conveniently. β Nested folders The free version lets you create folders at the top level only; with Pro, you can also create folders on deeper levels. β Locked Folder Lock sensitive memos, images, and folders with Face ID. Nothing in the Locked Folder appears on Home, in search, or in any list, and you can move existing memos, images, and folders into it. β Full history in Memos & Images On the Memos and Images pages, look back at memos and images older than one month. β All themes available In addition to the default Light theme, dress up the app with Dark, Beige, Navy, and White. β Customize how folders look Set a color and an icon for each folder. The free version comes with the basic colors, and Pro unlocks every color and every icon. β Quick input The keyboard appears the moment you open the app, so you can start writing right away without tapping the input button. β Lock Screen widget Create a note or add a photo with a single tap from the Nokosu widget on your Lock Screen. β Control Center widget Create a note or add a photo with a single tap from the Nokosu widget in Control Center or on the Action button. β Save to Photos too When you capture a photo memo in the app, you can also copy the photo to your Photo Library.

Links you save from social apps and websites pile up unopened. Linkpoche gathers them in one Inbox, and you put each one away in a pouch with a single swipe. Saving is free, with no limit on how many. No ads, no account. Tap Share in another app and choose Linkpoche; the share sheet closes and you stay where you were. Screenshots go in the same way. SORT WITH ONE SWIPE - Flick the top link down into a pouch. Your pouches sit along the bottom, within reach of your thumb. - Swipe left to delete, right for Read later. - Undo, plus Recently Deleted for your last 50 deleted links. - Make up to 8 pouches free, with pouches inside them. Pick a name, a color, and an icon for each. SCREENSHOTS, TOO - Share up to 10 at a time from Photos, or tap + on Home and choose Add screenshots. - On your iPhone, Linkpoche reads text, QR codes, web addresses, phone numbers, and addresses, in Japanese and English. If it finds a web address, it saves the link with its preview and keeps the screenshot with it. - Copy what it found, or select text with Live Text on supported iPhones. Small or handwritten text can be missed. FIND THEM AGAIN - Search everything, or one pouch, including text read from screenshots. On iOS 17 or later, search also finds links close in meaning. - Filter by unread, read, or favorites, or sort by Recommended. - For you shows up to 10 links from your pouches each day. - Set a one-time reminder on any link. - A Home Screen widget (iOS 17 or later), iPhone search, and a Save Link action in Shortcuts. LINKPOCHE PLUS (IN-APP PURCHASE) A one-time purchase, not a subscription. Lock pouches (Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode to open), hide pouches until you choose to show them, make up to 24 pouches, use every color plus 12 patterns, put a photo or one of 16 new icons on a pouch, and repeat reminders on the days you choose. Anyone who can unlock your iPhone can open a locked pouch. ON-DEVICE AI WITH APPLE INTELLIGENCE On iPhone 15 Pro or later with iOS 26 or later and Apple Intelligence on, Apple's on-device model can summarize articles (summaries may not be accurate), suggest a pouch for each link or for up to 50 at once, title screenshots, and pick older links close to your recent saves. Nothing is filed for you, and nothing leaves your iPhone for it. Without it, suggestions use the pouch you chose before for the same site. WHAT GOES OVER THE NETWORK There is no Linkpoche server. When you save a link, your iPhone fetches that page directly for its title, picture, description, icon, and article text. The text is used for the read time and summary, then discarded. For posts and videos on some services, such as X and YouTube, Linkpoche also asks that service's public embed endpoint. Those sites see the request as they would from a browser. Screenshots are read on your iPhone and not uploaded. For searching by meaning, iOS may download language files from Apple. No analytics, no ads, no tracking. WHAT A PREVIEW CAN SHOW - Linkpoche shows what a site publishes for previews and never signs in, so pages behind a login give little. The link is still saved and opens. - For links, Linkpoche keeps the address and preview, not a copy of the page, so opening one needs a connection. A screenshot is kept as a resized copy without location data. YOUR DATA - Export everything as one zip file, locked and hidden pouches included. The zip file isn't locked. Import only adds. - No sync between devices. To move to a new iPhone, export and import, or use your iPhone backup. iPhone only, iOS 16 or later.
