Clair App
Read full descriptionHide full description
Clair brings your tasks, quick notes, and ideas together in one clean, simple app. No clutter, no sign-in, no subscriptions, just three focused tabs that work the way you think. Todos: Capture tasks the way you'd send a message, type it, hit send, done. Set reminders so nothing slips through. Add priority flags to see what matters most at a glance. Sort your list the way that works for you. Cards: Quick sticky notes for anything you need to jot down fast, a thought, a reminder, a snippet to refer back to later. Choose from a range of colors to organize visually, and sort your cards however you like. Notes: A full notes experience when you need more space to think. Organize with folders, write in Markdown for clean formatting, and sort to find what you need quickly. Make it yours: Customize Clair with accent colors and font options so the app feels like your own. Privacy first: Clair works entirely on your device, with no accounts, no tracking, and no logins. Your data is yours. Clair is aimed at anyone juggling multiple lightweight capture tools, such as a todo list, a notes app, and a place for quick reminders, who wants them combined into one simple interface instead of switching between separate apps. It solves the friction of that context switching by keeping fast task capture, quick notes, and longer form writing in one clean, three tab app.

Stumble on a paper you want to read? Save it in one tap and get back to it later. Paper Saver is a read-later app built for research PDFs. Share a paper from Safari, Mail, Files, or any app, and it lands in your Inbox — already titled, ready to read. When you're done, archive it to your Read shelf, where it stays searchable. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE Use the share sheet from any app to send a PDF straight to your Inbox. Links and files both work. TITLES THAT FILL THEMSELVES IN Most saved PDFs have useless filenames. PaperOrganizer reads the DOI printed in the paper and pulls the real title, journal, authors, and year from CrossRef — automatically, in the background. READ AND PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF A clean built-in reader remembers your page in every paper, so you can put one down mid-read and come back days later. FIND PAPERS WITHOUT LEAVING THE APP Search PubMed and Crossref by keyword, author, or DOI. Open-access papers save straight to your Inbox with their details already filled in. Everything else opens at the publisher, where your own access applies. ORGANIZE WITHOUT THE BUSYWORK Tag papers, file them into categories, and your Inbox groups itself into sections automatically. Reuse categories you've already created with a tap. ON-DEVICE AI SUGGESTIONS Let your iPhone suggest tags and a category by reading the paper. It runs entirely on your device with Apple Intelligence — nothing is uploaded, and it works offline. Available on Apple Intelligence-capable devices; a simpler keyword suggestion is used otherwise. SEARCH INSIDE YOUR PAPERS Search matches titles, tags, categories, and the text inside the PDFs themselves. CITATIONS IN ONE TAP Copy a BibTeX or RIS citation for any identified paper, ready to paste into your reference manager or manuscript. MANAGE IN BULK Select multiple papers to share or delete them at once. YOUR LIBRARY, ON YOUR DEVICES Papers sync privately through your own iCloud account. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your papers stay on your device and in your personal iCloud. There are no accounts, no tracking, and no ads. The only thing ever sent to the internet is a DOI, used to look up publication details. Built by a resident who kept losing papers in a pile of browser tabs.
