About

Read full description

Amber is one fast, focused place for everything you reuse. Keep a snippet, an image, a file or a document once โ€” then reach for it in a tap, from your iPhone, your iPad or your Mac. FOR THE REPLY YOU RETYPE EVERY WEEK Save it as a template with blanks, and Amber asks for the name and the project and hands you the finished text. FOR THE DOCUMENTS YOU SHOW CLIENTS Group them in a project, then present them page by page in Show Mode โ€” and hand over the real file, not its filename. FOR THE TWENTIETH FORM ASKING FOR YOUR ADDRESS Fill a form lines up your own details in the order forms ask for them, one tap to copy each, and it keeps your place. ORGANISE IT THE WAY YOU THINK Projects hold shelves, and shelves nest inside them. Smart shelves are saved searches that stay live โ€” "PDFs used this month" keeps itself up to date. Drag a card onto a shelf to move it; drop a file straight onto one to keep it there. AUTOMATIONS Turn any of that into a named routine you run with one tap. IT FINDS THINGS BY WHAT THEY SAY Amber reads the words inside your images and documents, so a screenshot of a receipt is findable by what is written on it. BRING YOUR SNIPPETS WITH YOU Import snippets from Raycast, Alfred, Text Replacements, CSV or plain text. YOUR IPHONE CAN DRIVE YOUR MAC Show a document on the big screen from your pocket, or beam a card to another of your own devices โ€” no pairing, no cable. BUILT FOR THE KEYBOARD โŒ˜/ lists every shortcut Amber has. Widgets, Shortcuts, Spotlight and a menu bar item keep your cards close without opening the app. YOUR CONTENT STAYS YOURS There is no Amber account and no Amber server. Everything lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. Amber is free to use. Amber Pro is a one-off purchase โ€” not a subscription โ€” that lifts the card limit and unlocks the Pro features. If it ever lapses, your cards stay readable and copyable. Nothing is held hostage.
