Saw something great on Threads, X or Instagram and told yourself "later"? Later never comes — unless it's one tap away. Stash saves posts and links straight from the share sheet. Your folders show up at the top like contacts: one tap saves and files it. Everything stays on your device and in your iCloud — no account, no tracking, no ads. SAVE IN ONE TAP Share from Threads, X, Instagram, Facebook or Safari. Your folders appear in the share sheet; tap one and you're done. A SNAPSHOT, NOT JUST A LINK Title, text and image are captured the moment you save. If the original post is deleted or goes private, your copy stays. ACTUALLY READ IT LATER A Home Screen widget rotates through your unread saves. A gentle weekly recap nudges you to clear one. FIND ANYTHING Full-text search, notes and tags. Posts that are only a video? Add a note and search that. ICLOUD SYNC (NEW) One library on iPhone and iPad; a new phone restores on its own. Daily backups kept inside the app. STASH PLUS — PAY ONCE Sub-folders and tags, export any save as a designed card, PDF or Markdown, on-device AI summaries (iOS 26+ with Apple Intelligence on), reader mode with read-aloud, Face ID-locked folders, six app color themes with matching icons. Everything free today stays free. Available in English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.

Wait — what was I about to write? And when am I ever going to clear out all these notes? “Type it, hit enter. Hold to delete. That’s the whole thing.” blarblar is a widget that keeps one-line notes. A grocery list, an idea that showed up uninvited, the call you have to make this afternoon. Write it the way you thought it, press enter, and a small pill lands on your home screen. [A memo widget, and nothing more] ・ No button to hunt for. Enter is the whole interface. ・ Pour out one thought after another without stopping. ・ Colors pick themselves. Nothing to choose. ・ Want to change one? Just tap the pill. [Right there on your home screen] Your notes are visible without opening the app. Wake the screen and what you have to do, what you have to buy — it’s already there. Small, medium and large widgets are all supported. [Clearing them out is just as easy] Press and hold a note and it slowly fades away. No more tapping DELETE over and over. Deleted the wrong one? The undo button brings it right back. [You’ll probably like this if] ・ You’ve forgotten a thought while waiting for a notes app to open ・ You rebuild the same grocery list every week ・ Folders and tags wore you out ・ Your notes pile up faster than you can clear them ・ A to-do app feels like too much for “buy milk” ・ You’d rather glance at a widget than open an app [Unlock unlimited] Five notes are free. Want to hold more thoughts? One payment, one time. Not a subscription.
