Mote is a quiet task app for catching fleeting thoughts — and letting them become action when you have the time. Thoughts arrive like motes of dust in morning light: a small idea, a thing to do, gone in a second if you don't catch it. Mote catches them, and keeps your days clear and unhurried. — Open to today — Mote opens to this week, with today already in view. The past steps aside; empty days stay empty. What you need to do is simply, neatly, under each day. — Catch it in a tap — One tap to note a thought. Tag it if you like, give it a day if you know one. Don't know yet? Leave it in "Unscheduled" — pull it into a day whenever you're ready. — Browse by gesture — Swipe to move through your weeks. Pinch to zoom between week, month, and year. Swipe a task left to finish or delete, right to reschedule. The interface gets out of the way. — Made to feel light — Warm, paper-like tones. Generous whitespace. A single accent of color. Finishing something gives a small, satisfying spark — never a nag. Mote keeps everything on your device. No account, no clutter, no pressure. Catch the thought.

About

Linkatory

We all save things online: a video to watch later, an article to finish, a post from Instagram or X we want to find again. Then it disappears into the feed and it's gone. Linkatory is built for that moment. Save any link in one tap from any app, and find it again when you actually need it. Everything stays organized on your device, your way. 1. Save from any app in one tap Linkatory plugs into iOS's native share sheet, so you can save a link from Safari, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit, or almost any app without leaving it. It fetches the title, description, and thumbnail on its own. For platforms it recognizes, like the ones above, it also pulls the author and engagement numbers. 2. No account, no subscription Open the app and start saving right away. There's nothing to sign up for. Your library lives in a database on your device, and nothing you save is ever uploaded to a server or tracked. 3. Organize with Collections Group related links into Collections, each with its own color and icon, or leave them unsorted in My Links. Long-press a link to pin, edit, or delete it. You can add a note or tags to anything you save. 4. Search that actually finds things One search bar covers titles, descriptions, notes, tags, and the source site all at once. If you remember any part of a link, you'll probably find it. 5. Read offline You can choose to preserve a page's text, images, or video for reading with no connection at all. Even links you haven't preserved that way still show their saved titles and previews offline, since that part of your library is already on the device. 6. Import, export, and keep your data Moving from another bookmarking app or your browser? Import your existing bookmarks from an HTML, JSON, or CSV file. You can export your whole library as JSON whenever you want, so it's yours to back up or move somewhere else. Linkatory is for anyone with bookmarks scattered across two browsers and three apps, or anyone tired of paying a monthly fee to save links. Import what you already have, keep saving what you find, and it stays in one place you can actually search. Linkatory is free, with no account required.
