About

MOA

Read full description

MOA is a private scrapbook that reads and organizes everything you save. Links you texted yourself, Instagram saves, screenshots in Photos β€” the things you saved but never found again. Drop them into MOA: AI reads the content and writes a title and summary; a recipe becomes a checklist and steps, a poster becomes dates and a place. You can edit any of it, anytime. Key features β€’ Save links and screenshots from the share sheet β€” no need to open the app β€’ AI writes the title, summary, tags and to-dos β€’ Combine several screenshots into one scrap β€’ One search across titles, summaries, full text, notes β€” and text inside screenshots β€’ Checklist and step progress tracking β€’ On-device first, with optional iCloud sync β€’ Manual backup export and restore Your data is stored on your device first. Turn on iCloud sync and it is kept in the private iCloud database of your own Apple Account, so it comes back when you switch phones. Content is sent to a server only at the moment you run AI organizing, and we do not keep the original after processing. Free includes 5 links and 2 screenshots organized by AI each month. Premium raises that to 100. Pricing and trial details are shown on the App Store purchase screen, and you can manage or cancel the subscription in your Apple Account settings.
