Back to This

Read full description

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. Save it, and let Back to This bring you back. — Back to This Pro Try everything free for 7 days. After the trial, keep Pro for the listed price per month.

Swipfolio turns your phone into a portfolio you can hand to anyone. No pitch deck. No laptop. No "let me pull that up." Just hand someone your phone, and let them swipe through your work like flipping through cards — your projects, case studies, social links, website, resume, anything with a URL. HOW IT WORKS • Add your links — projects, socials, websites, anything you want to showcase • Organize them into portfolios (work, personal, clients — whatever fits) • Hand your phone to someone and let them swipe through, card by card • Each card opens a live preview of the link right inside the app WHY SWIPFOLIO • Built for real conversations — no app switching, no searching through folders • Swipeable, tactile browsing that feels natural to hand off • Organize your work into multiple portfolios by category • Share your portfolio instantly with a link • Your data backs up automatically with iCloud • Clean, fast, distraction-free design WHO IT'S FOR Designers, developers, freelancers, students, founders, and anyone who's ever said "wait, let me find that link" — Swipfolio keeps your best work one swipe away, ready to show whenever the moment comes up. Build it once. Show it anywhere.
