About

Clair App

Read 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.

Cataloger AI

Features
Read full description

Catalog anything you collect: pens, watches, vinyl, books, wine, perfume, movies, and more. You choose the categories and the fields, so it fits your collection and not the other way around. BUILD IT YOUR WAY • Make a category for each kind of thing you collect, and choose exactly what to track: text, numbers, dates, choices, yes or no, even colors. • Start from a template for pens, watches, vinyl, books, wine or fragrances, or build your own in a minute. • Fields can appear only when they matter, such as an ink color that shows once a pen is marked as inked. • Share a category with a friend through Messages, Mail or AirDrop. They see exactly what it will add and confirm. Your items are never included. BRING WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE • Import a CSV or Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet, match its columns to your fields, and your whole collection is in. It can even build the category from your file. • Export any time, so your data is always yours. ADD ITEMS FAST • Share a link from Safari or a store app and the name, photo, price and details are read for you. • Look up books by scanning the barcode on the back cover. • Add a photo from your camera or library, or search for one. KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE • Quantities, wish list, archive, and separate purchases with their own price and date. • Storage places, so you always know where something is kept. Optional humidity and temperature tracking with Govee sensors. • Totals and charts of where your collection's value is. Hide every dollar amount with one tap. OPTIONAL AI PACK Everything above works without a subscription. The AI Pack adds: • AI Fill: type a name and your own category's fields fill in. • From a photo: photograph an item, its label or its box to identify it. • Scan a shelf: photograph several items at once, review the list, and add the ones you pick. • Smarter links: fields are filled from the description and specifications on a store's page. Every suggestion is shown for you to review before anything is added, and facts about your own copy, like its condition or what you paid, are left for you to fill in. AI can be wrong, so always check. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account. Your collection is stored on your device. • Optional iCloud sync keeps your own devices in step through your private iCloud. Nothing goes through our servers. • No ads and no tracking. AI Pack subscription: $2.99 per month, or $19.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Prices may vary by region. Privacy Policy: https://cataloger-app.vercel.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://cataloger-app.vercel.app/terms
