Save everything. Find it in seconds. That recipe, that video, that apartment listing, that gift idea - all in one place, each already filed where you'd think to look for it. Assorta is one fast inbox for everything worth keeping. Paste a note or share a link - AI instantly understands what it is and files it into the right group. No folders to create, no tags to manage, no cleanup day. HOW IT WORKS 1. Drop it in. Paste text, or share straight from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Safari, or any other app - Assorta lives in your share sheet. 2. AI files it. The item lands in the right group: Travel, Cooking, Wish list, Movies, Health, Finance, and 30+ more. 3. Find it fast. One colorful dashboard, rich link previews with thumbnails, and search across your notes and groups - everything where you'd expect it to be. 4. Remember why. Tap AI Summary on a saved link and the page comes back in a few lines, right there in the list. Included with Assorta Pro. When a page gives it nothing to work with, Assorta says so instead of inventing a summary. WHY ASSORTA • Two-tap saving from the share sheet • AI sorts notes and links into 30+ smart groups - no setup needed • The first 15 AI sorts are free; Assorta Pro removes the limit - and sorting keeps working either way • Disagree with the AI? Change the group with one tap • Search across your notes and groups when you want one exact save • Link previews with thumbnails and titles, so you recognize saves at a glance • Tap AI Summary on a saved link and read the page in a few lines, without opening it - included with Pro • Summaries are saved with the note, so opening one again is instant and works offline • Saving finishes in the background, even if you switch apps mid-add • Light and dark themes • Available in 13 languages Drop in your first link. The filing is already done. Terms of Use: https://assorta.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://assorta.app/privacy
