Fastest save flow
The Action Button is the quickest way to save something before it disappears or you lose context.
iPhone Feature
Save with the Action Button
Press and hold your iPhone Action Button to save something before it disappears, then let Tote organize it in the background.
Why It Matters
The Action Button makes Tote feel like part of your phone, not one more place you have to remember to open later.
Works with the apps you already use
Save from TikTok, Instagram, Maps, Safari, and anywhere else you already find things worth keeping.
Keeps the momentum going
Save now and let Tote organize the details in the background so you can keep moving.
Set It Up Once
Tote handles the setup flow inside the app. Once it is connected, saving becomes one press and hold away.
01
Install Tote on your iPhone
Download Tote from the App Store and open the in-app setup flow when you are ready to connect the Action Button.
02
Follow the Tote setup flow once
Tote walks you through the shortcut and Action Button setup so you do not have to build anything yourself.
03
Press and hold to save
Once setup is done, press and hold the Action Button to save from whatever app you are in, then come back to it later in Tote.
