About

PA Node

Features
Read full description

PA Node connects your iPhone to a user-configured personal agent system, such as OpenClaw. A desktop or server agent can do a lot on its own, but some workflows only work well when the phone is part of the loop. PA Node lets your agent use phone-native capabilities like push notifications, location context, and commute-aware actions, with permissions controlled by iOS. After setup, your iPhone is registered as a trusted device using a backend-issued credential. You can receive proactive notifications, share location context when enabled, and support workflows that are not possible from a Mac mini or desktop agent alone. Features include: • Secure device setup with a backend-issued credential • Push notifications from your configured PA server • Optional location sharing for commute and phone-context workflows • Commute job status, route choice, and refresh controls • In-app setup prompts for configuring your desktop or client agent • Privacy and support information built into Settings PA Node is built for people running their own personal agent infrastructure who want the iPhone to act as a secure, permissioned extension of that system.

You save a post in X, another in Instagram, another in Threads. A month later you can't remember where you put it. Haberdashery is the one place everything you save lands. Tap Share in any app and the post is kept in a single library you can actually look at: the photos at full size, the text underneath, all of it searchable. KEPT, NOT JUST LINKED The pictures are saved to your device, so a bookmark survives the original post being deleted or the account going private. Articles keep their readable text. Text-only posts are drawn as clean cards. A carousel stays a carousel. FIND THE ONE YOU HALF REMEMBER One search across titles, notes, tags, authors — and the words inside your pictures, read on your phone. Filter by where something came from. Sort by when you saved it, not when it was posted. LOOK AT IT THE WAY YOU THINK A moodboard of pictures, cards with your notes and tags, or a dense list. Favourites. Archive. Collections you make yourself. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account to make. No server holding your saves. Text recognition, tagging and colour analysis run on the device using Apple's own frameworks. The only network request the app makes on its own behalf is to check your purchase. BRING YOUR OLD SAVES Import a CSV from another bookmarking tool, or a folder of exports, and your history comes with you — deduplicated against what you already have. WORKS WITH THE SHARE SHEET Save from X, Instagram, Threads, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Safari and anything else with a Share button. Or paste a link, drop in a photo, or write a note with no link at all. HABERDASHERY PRO Saving, searching and keeping your library are free, forever, and nothing you have saved is ever taken away. Pro adds: • iCloud sync between your iPhone and iPad, through your own account • Unlimited imports • Notes written on your phone from what you save: a recipe from a cooking post, the takeaways from a thread, a summary of an article (requires iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence) • Offline video, so a saved clip plays without signal and outlives the post • Search by colour, and find the things that look alike • Rules that file new saves into collections for you Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase for anyone who would rather not subscribe to anything. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.
