InspirationDraft is a private place for unfinished thoughts. You do not need to think everything through before you save it. A sentence, a voice note, a rough direction, or a half-formed idea is enough. Capture the moment first. Recording inspiration should feel light, not like another task to complete. Light structure, after the thought arrives The app helps you return to important ideas later without forcing you into heavy organization the moment they appear. Titles, tags, scenes, color cues, and timeline structure exist to reduce friction, not create more of it. That matters if you care more about the content than the system around it. Organization should help the thought survive. It should not become extra work. AI as a quiet companion Sometimes you do not want AI to write for you. You just want help opening the next window. InspirationDraft uses local AI to extend, question, reframe, clarify, or gently move a draft forward when you need it. The result is meant to feel like a quiet companion, not an author standing in your place. It does not take over your writing, and the final voice stays yours. Fully local, so privacy feels real Many tools in this space promise smarter capture. InspirationDraft draws the line somewhere more personal: after you download the local model, AI processing runs on your iPhone. No cloud model needs to inspect your draft. No server needs to sit between you and your thinking. Even without a network connection, you can keep recording, organizing, and moving the work forward. That fully local boundary is not a bonus feature. It is what makes the whole experience feel safe enough to use honestly. One private space for real life Use InspirationDraft for writing, topic selection, work, life, cooking, product thinking, or the strange idea that arrived at the wrong time but still deserves to stay alive. Some thoughts become plans. Some become drafts. Some stay private for a while before they turn into anything else. The point is not to force them into shape too early. The point is to keep them, revisit them, and let them grow on your terms. That is the feeling InspirationDraft is trying to protect: your ideas can stay private, your process can stay light, and the work can still feel fully under your control. Who it is for - Writers, creators, researchers, and students - People with frequent ideas who dislike heavy note-management overhead - Anyone who wants AI help without surrendering authorship - Anyone who wants a more private, offline-first relationship with idea capture Launch pricing InspirationDraft launches as a paid upfront app. This version does not provide in-app purchases, subscriptions, or extra Pro unlocks. After downloading, you can use the included draft workspace, light organization tools, rewrite candidates, Local AI, and iCloud backup features. If the business model changes later, we will state it clearly on the App Store page and inside the app. Privacy & security - Local AI model runs entirely on-device after download - Draft data stored locally and in iCloud (visible only to you) - No analytics, no user tracking, no account required - You decide what context to share — AI only sees what you authorize Terms of Use (EULA): https://inspiration-draft.github.io/legal/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://inspiration-draft.github.io/legal/privacy.html

You save a link "for later." Later never comes. Back to This fixes that. Instead of dumping links into a bookmark folder you'll never open again, Back to This reminds you — again and again — until you actually open the link or delete it. It's a link inbox with a nudge, not a graveyard. THE 15 RULE Your inbox holds up to 15 active links. Save a 16th and the oldest quietly moves to your Archive. A short, finishable list instead of an endless pile — because if everything is saved, nothing is. HOW IT WORKS • Paste or share a link from any app • Tag WHY you saved it — Read Later, Learn, Work, Idea, Buy, Watch, Reference • Pick WHEN and HOW OFTEN to be reminded • Get repeated reminders until you open it or let it go BUILT TO BE FAST • Save from any app with the Share extension • Tap a reminder to jump straight to the link • Open in the related app, or read inside the app • Clean, distraction-free, light and simple WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT • No feeds, no ads, no social clutter • No account required — your links stay on your device • Reminders that don't let you forget • A calm inbox that stays small on purpose Stop bookmarking things into the void.
