Liked an article, wanted to watch a video later, or saw a post you didn't want to lose? You bookmarked it somewhere — and then never found it again. Dama is the simplest way to collect links from any app, in one place. # Save with one share, from anywhere Share directly to Dama from Safari, YouTube, Instagram, X and any app with a share sheet. No need to open Dama first. # Organized into categories automatically Saved links are sorted into categories, and Dama suggests the right category for similar links — so you spend less time organizing. # Find what you need, fast Search by title, description, or domain, and keep your most-used links one tap away with favorites. # Light, private, and ready to go No sign-up required. Light and dark mode are both fully supported. Back up to iCloud anytime from Settings, and import it later to merge into your current library. This is a manual backup, not real-time sync. Stop losing links. Start keeping them in Dama.
