Saw something great on Threads, X or Instagram and told yourself "later"? Later never comes β 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 β 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 β 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.
