AIS

About this app

AIS keeps the things you want to find again: links, notes, file paths, commands, passwords. You save each one under tags you choose, and find it later by typing those tags.

Examples
wifi guest: the guest Wi-Fi password
recipe chicken: a link to the recipe
passport documents: where the scan is
tunnel prod ssh: the command you look up every time

Type "recipe" and you get every recipe. Type "recipe chicken" and you get what was saved under both.

Private
Everything stays on the phone. No account, no ads, no tracking, no server, and the app collects no data. Passwords and other secrets are encrypted with a passphrase only you know.

Yours
The index is plain text: you can read it, export it, and open it without AIS. Plain text has been readable since the 1960s on any machine, so the index outlives the app. The same index opens on Linux and macOS, in a terminal and in a browser.

Sync and backup, only when you ask
- Between two of your devices on the same Wi-Fi: one shows a code, the other scans it. The transfer is direct and end-to-end encrypted.
- Through a folder that Syncthing or a cloud drive carries.
- Keep a copy in a folder, so the index survives uninstalling the app.

Also
- Share a link or text to AIS from any other app.
- A timeline of everything saved, with a date range.
- A list of every tag you have used.
- Search inside the saved text when no tag matches.
- Voice input, recognised on the device.
- Light and dark theme.
