Cue
Read full descriptionHide full description
Cue is a cozy corner for the internet you mean to come back to. No feeds, no noise, no account ā just your queue, waiting for the right moment. SAVE WITHOUT LEAVING Tap Share in any app and pick Cue. Tag it and add a note right there in the share sheet ā Cue never opens, and you stay exactly where you were reading. The preview catches up on its own, title and image and all. Copied a link? Cue offers it when you open the app. Beautiful previews work across the sites that usually resist them: YouTube, X, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Reddit, TikTok, Hacker News, GitHub, Wikipedia, arXiv and more. TAGS THAT ALMOST TAG THEMSELVES When you save, Cue suggests the tags you'd probably pick for that link ā one tap files it. Tags sort themselves alphabetically, wear their own colors, and the tag box doubles as a live filter. Housekeeping is built in: merge duplicates, recolor, and see which tags have gone quiet. EVERY TAG BECOMES A SHELF Your Library keeps a shelf for each tag, so you can find things by how you filed them ā and your archive is a shelf too. Search everything, or narrow by tag and by what kind of thing it is: Video, Post, Thread, Paper, Repo, Audio, Article, detected automatically. In the mood to watch something? Two taps. A QUEUE THAT ENDS Swipe a card to archive it when you're done, pin what matters, and enjoy the calm of an empty queue. Cue is designed to feel finished, not infinite. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE - No account. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. - Everything lives on your device and syncs through your own private iCloud ā we run no servers and cannot see your data. - Your library is yours: export it as JSON or CSV anytime, or erase everything with one tap. OPENS THE APPS YOU LOVE Optionally open saved links directly in their native apps ā YouTube, X, Instagram, Spotify, Apple Music, GitHub and more. Cue is lovingly small: fast to open, quick to save, calm to browse. Give your someday-links a home.

Tuck keeps the things you love online, for good. Share a post, article, video or profile to Tuck from Safari or any app, and Tuck saves a clean copy to your own private feed. Scroll it like a social feed, read articles in a calm reader, and tap a video to play it. Posts get deleted, accounts go private and links stop working. What you tuck away stays. ONE PRIVATE FEED ⢠Everything you save lands in Home ⢠Make your own feeds, like Cooking, Hiking or Design, and switch between them from the top of the screen ⢠Show any mix of posts, people, videos, articles or your own posts ⢠Sort by when you saved something or when it was posted ⢠Search across everything you've saved ⢠Lock a feed with Face ID, or keep it out of Home MADE FOR EACH KIND OF CONTENT ⢠Posts show the author, text, images and any quoted post, without the noise ⢠Articles open in a clean reader with your choice of font, size and theme, and the original page is saved too so you can read it offline ⢠Videos play right in the feed. Tap one and swipe up to keep watching your saved videos ⢠Save profiles too, and jump straight to them in their own app WHAT TUCK SAVES ⢠X, Bluesky, Threads and Mastodon posts, with photos, quoted posts and counts ⢠Reddit, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Telegram posts, with every image and video ⢠Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Snapchat captions, photos and covers ⢠YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, Bilibili and niconico videos, with their details, playing in the official player ⢠Weibo, RedNote, Douyin, VK and Naver Blog posts ⢠Articles from any website and Substack, Apple Podcasts and Spotify episodes, and profiles everywhere ⢠Any other link, as a card with its title and preview SAVE IN A TAP ⢠Share from any app, or copy a link and tap the add button ⢠Import a list of links, and export everything you've saved ⢠Choose per save whether to keep photos and videos, or just the text and a thumbnail YOUR OWN POSTS Write notes with photos, videos and links straight into any feed, and keep them alongside everything you've saved. LOCAL FEEDS Turn a folder of your own videos and photos into a feed that scrolls like the rest: pick one in Files on iPhone and iPad, or any folder or external drive on the Mac. Tuck only reads the folder; nothing is copied or uploaded. PRIVATE BY DESIGN ⢠No account, no sign-up ⢠Everything is stored on your device and synced through your own iCloud, and you choose whether photos and videos sync ⢠No ads, no analytics, no tracking ⢠Pages are fetched directly from your device, never through our servers Tuck works on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and is made for both screens of iPhone Duo.
