Capture
Save the thing before you lose it
Use Share to Tote, send in a screenshot, paste a link, or use the Action Button when you want to keep moving.
How Tote turns saves into something useful
Tote starts with the things already scattered across your iPhone: screenshots, links, posts, photos, and places you want to come back to.
The core loop
Save now. Understand in the background. Find later.
Understand
Tote turns it into a useful save
Tote keeps the original reference, then adds a title, summary, source context, category, and useful details when it can detect them.
Use
Find it, group it, or send it later
Search by what you remember, add it to a list, ask questions, share it, or use extracted details for reminders and calendar follow-ups.
Demo: sharing
Send a post, page, or link to Tote from the share sheet.
This is the fastest everyday capture path. You stay in the app where you found the thing, send it to Tote, and let Tote handle the rest.
- 1Tap Share in the app where you found something worth keeping.
- 2Choose Tote from the iPhone share sheet.
- 3Pick a list if you already know where it belongs, then keep browsing.
Demo: screenshots
Save a screenshot when the thing you need is only visible on-screen.
Screenshots are useful because they are fast, but they are hard to find later. Tote keeps the image and adds context around it.
- 1Open a screenshot or photo from your Camera Roll.
- 2Send it to Tote even when there is no clean link to share.
- 3Tote reads visible details and makes the save easier to search later.
Turn screenshots into searchable saves
Save the screenshot from any app. Tote reads what is in it, adds context, and keeps it searchable with your lists, links, notes, and details.
Share to Tote
Tote pulls out the dish, ingredients, cooking notes, and the list where it belongs.
What gets added
Tote keeps the original save and adds the missing context.
The point is not just storing more stuff. The point is making the save easier to recognize, search, and use later.
Visible text
Tote can read text in screenshots and photos so a flat image becomes searchable by the words inside it.
Source context
Links and shared posts can carry source details like title, preview image, URL, app context, and creator or page information.
Useful entities
When the save contains a place, product, recipe, event, article, or date, Tote can shape those details into something easier to act on.
Next actions
A finished Tote can support search, lists, sharing, chat, reminders, and calendar follow-ups depending on what was saved.
High-level technical flow
From raw input to searchable Tote.
At a high level, Tote separates capture, processing, enrichment, and organization so each save can move from messy input to useful output.
- 01
Capture adapter
The input can be a shared URL, post, image, screenshot, photo, or Action Button capture from iPhone.
- 02
Ingestion
Tote receives the file or link with basic client context, creates the save, and keeps enough source data to process it reliably.
- 03
Extraction
The processing layer reads visible text, link metadata, media details, and structured clues from the original save.
- 04
Enrichment
Tote adds a readable title, summary, category, and domain-specific details like places, products, recipes, dates, and links.
- 05
Organization
The enriched Tote becomes available in search, lists, maps, chat, sharing, and follow-up surfaces.
After it is saved
A Tote is meant to be used, not filed away forever.
The save becomes part of your working library, so you can come back when the idea becomes a plan.
Search for the restaurant, outfit, article, product, or phrase you remember.
Group Totes into lists for a trip, gift search, recipe queue, event, or project.
Share one Tote or a whole list without making someone scroll through screenshots.
Turn details into reminders or calendar follow-ups when a save has a time-sensitive next step.
