My wife & I have ADHD. We saved everything with screenshots but hated it cluttering our camera roll, so I built my own app. We now use it 20x a day.
TL;DR: I built a native SwiftUI app for iPhone, iPad and Mac that lets you save anything you find online into organised folders instantly. It works from the Share Sheet, so if you can tap Share, you can save it. Screenshots don’t touch your camera roll. You can search text inside images. iCloud sync. No account. No subscription. The Problem My wife and I both have ADHD, and we had the same problem every day: We would save something important… Then immediately lose it. A recipe. A baby product. A parenting tip. A work idea. A tool someone recommended. A screenshot of something we were definitely going to come back to. And then later one of us would say: “I saved that somewhere.” Which usually meant checking: Photos. Notes. Safari tabs. Bookmarks. Instagram DMs. WhatsApp. Random messages to each other. A Reading List I had not opened in years. Half the time we would just give up and Google it again. The annoying thing was, we were not just forgetting to save things we were saving too much in too many different places.It was all just going into random places with no context. The camera rolls is the worst part. Hundreds of screenshots mixed in with actual life photos. Receipts next to recipes. Baby stuff next to work stuff. Memes next to important things we genuinely needed. When we were expecting our first kid, this got ridiculous. We were researching prams, car seats, sleep routines, recipes, baby monitors, nursery ideas, things to buy, things to compare, things people recommended. At the same time, I was running a business and saving marketing ideas, tools, advice, examples, posts, screenshots and links. One evening we worked out that between us, we had something like 40,000 screenshots across our two phones. Which is stupid. And the worst part was, we could barely find any of them again. So I built something for us. What I Built Stash sits in your Share Sheet on iPhone. Anywhere you can tap Share, you can send something to Stash. Links. Screenshots. Photos. Videos. PDFs. Social posts. Locations. Notes. Random internet things you do not want to lose. It is usually just: Share → Stash → Pick a folder → Done Then you go straight back to what you were doing. The main thing for me is this: When you save a screenshot into Stash, it does not go into your camera roll. It saves into Stash only. So your Photos app stays clean, and the thing you saved actually has somewhere useful to live. For my ADHD brain, that has honestly been massive. It is not trying to be some intense productivity system. It is just a quick place to throw things before your brain moves on. Then later, when you actually need the thing, you can find it again. you can now import and delete directly from the camera roll as well. In all honesty, the best way to use it is to find something and think, “I want to save that for later.” Share it, create a folder for it, and it will automatically save, and then you can get on with your day. You can also save quickly into Unstashed if you don’t want to create a folder at that time. Whenever that topic comes up again, you can send stuff into that stash. Right now I’m doing this every day with 20 different things. Links App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6758998468 Website: https://stashanything.com Currently, it's Free for up to 100 saves if you'd like to try it first. There's also a promotion running until $9.99 for lifetime founder badge, but it will increase to $19.99 after July 31st. there's also a $7.99/month subscription with a seven-day free trial if that's better for you I’d genuinely love honest feedback from this community. Especially from anyone with ADHD, or anyone who lives with the same constant “I saved that somewhere” problem. I’m not pretending this is some magic productivity cure. It’s just been massively helpful for my wife and me because it removes one small bit of daily friction: Finding the things we already saved. Would love to know what works, what’s missing, and what would make you switch from your current setup. I’m building this based on real feedback and shipping updates constantly.

Is this vibe coded?
almost 100% yes.
The whole post was vibe coded
I’m not sure if this is how adhd works but isn’t that included image too “noisy” to someone with adhd?
Not really, but depends on ADHD type, severity...and just the fact that everyone is different
Thank you for not pretending this is some magic productivity cure.
What's stopping this from piling up and becoming something else to micromanage?
The categories and search functionality. You can use them as active ‘projects’. Like we have a holiday coming up, I send everything into that category. Once it’s used, I delete it.
While the image wasn't TMI, the length of the post was... didn't read it and certainly never will. While this isn't solving a problem I need to have solved, I'll offer one point of feedback that I'm certain is fairly ADHD universal. "Save it and forget it." Just because I have a new place to save and sort my images doesn't mean I will ever use them. The problem to solve, is the data collection overload and triage. I need a compelling way to want to process the information in the links, pictures, snippets into meaningful, re-usable information for the future. If I capture a screenshot or take a picture, it's because I don't want to forget the thing... but if I know I forget things, why do I think I'll remember to go and look it up later. In any case, the layout seems sound enough. Hopefully it helps some people.
Do you post this every month?
Seems nice. Does it have an option to export everything you’ve saved?
You can bulk export everything (or individual categories as MD) or you can just select and hold and swipe on anything you want to send and export quickly.
Hey, thanks for changing the font size bigger like I asked before! I bought the app to say thank you. It is really easy to use so I will collect many things from now. But sorry, even if I choose the biggest font size, it is still small for me. Mods, please delete this if the image is not okay. Like this, some letters are still small on my MacOS. I can read if I squint my eyes, but I am happy if there is "Super Ultra Big" size. Only if it is possible! I will keep supporting you!
Will do!! Thank you for the feedback!
Vibe coded or not, this is a really great idea and an awesome app! Thanks for sharing. I’ll be using this regularly. One bug to report: the Save to Notes action in shortcuts doesn’t seem to be functioning. Any chance you can push a fix?
I'll have a look thank you!
Oh this vibe coded crap again with alt accounts praising.
Tough posting anything about anything nowadays without accusations. Would never risk my account. I’m just trying to get my app out there for its intended purpose. Post an app = vibe coded. Post does well = alt accounts.
Oh wow! This is an issue for my ADHD brain and I’ve been looking for a solution for ages. Trying the free now but definitely looks like I’ll be a lifetime subscriber! Great job.
There’s no “import all” for screenshots already on the phone? Can only import 50 at a time? How did you and your wife went through 40.000? Also: you say the lifetime purchase is available until July 31st, but the app says “ends today”. I don’t like apps that lie to try to make me pay using my own anxiety.
I’ll test it. I screenshot everything I want to remember.. it’s kind of getting out of control. 😄 €9.99 for a lifetime license is okay for me, but €19.99 for an app is a bit much. After 2 years or so, you’ll probably release Version 2, and the old one will be deprecated
Awesome, thank you! I don’t think there’s any chance of this happening - this is about version 10😂. I’m currently obsessed with making the functionality perfect!
I’ve been using this app for sometime, it is very useful being able to save stuff quick and efficiently into folders using just one app, for me it was an instant purchase. I had some issues with sync and the developer was responsive and pushed an update out to fix. The developer is very active in further developing the app which shows commitment, keep up the great work and looking forward to the next update.
Thank you so so much <3
Hi, I'm very interested in your creation, & have downloaded the demo with (if I like it as much as I think I will), the intention of purchasing a lifetime licence - but (& for me, it's a massive but) because I'm very new to Mac OS, I cant, for the life of me understand the set-up process that comes with the install. I don't understand the processes described*, and while I can't expect you to teach me how to use Mac OS, without understanding how to set it up correctly, i can't trial / purchase it. If Stash works as well (for me) as it looks like, I'll also eagerly be joining the Android waitlist. Anyone have any suggestions? 'open something which I didn't understand, 'rename it', then click somewhere on whatever I just created to do something with the URL field.' - while one shouldn't ever be embarrassed about what one doesn't know, the truth is, I know so little - I don't even know what to 'search' if I were to try to educate myself on this.
