iPhone & iPad

The iOS app is built for capture on the move: if you can share it, you can keep it.

Current version: 1.7.0 (App Store). This page is the reference; the overview with illustrations and FAQ is at sensefold.app/ios.

Capture

• Share sheet from any app — links, text, PDFs, images, Word and PowerPoint files. See Files & media.
• Add a comment as you share — the share extension has a comment box, so the thought you had while reading is saved with the item.
• Shared text becomes a note — share a passage or a paragraph you wrote and it lands as one of your own notes, never rewritten by Sensefold.
• Quick capture — tap + to open a capture card for a quick thought or link, with buttons to attach images or a document. Tap “Open full editor” for more room. Pasting share text from Xiaohongshu, Douyin, TikTok, or Bilibili extracts and saves the clean link.
• Take a photo — use the “Take photo in Sensefold” action in Shortcuts or Siri. There is no in-app camera button.
• Clipboard detection — copied a link? Sensefold offers to save it.
• Already saved — share something that is already in your library and the app tells you, with a tap to jump to the existing item.
• Home-screen quick actions and Spotlight indexing for saved items.

AI conversations are the one thing the phone cannot capture: they live behind your login, so they need the Chrome extension.

Writing notes

• Formatting as you type — bold, lists, checklists, and links. Notes are stored as plain Markdown.
• Direct editing — notes open directly in edit mode, with no separate reading mode. An untitled note takes its first line as its title.
• Related and Info for a note are in its ⋯ menu.

Reading & recall

• Search and sync — full library search across titles, summaries, tags, and content, with realtime sync across devices.
• Saved pages — a bottom bar provides “Add a note…”, Notes, Related (up to 5 items), and Info. Summaries and tags live in Info rather than the page body.
• Your tags and AI tags — AI tags come from a shared topic catalogue and are kept separate from your own tags. Filter by either in Library. Long-press an AI tag in Info to select “Remove AI Tag”; AI tags cannot be renamed, and removed topics are not re-added.
• Video playback — video pages feature chapter guides and a follow-along clickable transcript.
• Comments and highlights — add comments to any item, or pin timestamped comments to videos. See comments and highlights.

Daily review

• Resurface past saves — unlocks once you have saved 5 items (or tap “Turn it on anyway”) to bring back items saved over 30 days ago.
• Actions — open an item, tap “Write one line about this…”, or select “Skip today”.
• Turn on — enable review from the Library top row or You → Come back → Daily review. It is off by default.
• Notifications — optional daily notification (off by default) sent at most once per day, showing the count of waiting items and the first item’s title.

Widgets

• Home Screen — Write a thought (small), Activity (small), and Today’s review (small, medium, large).
• Lock Screen — Write a thought (circular) and Today’s review (rectangular).
• Setup guide — open You → Preference → Widgets to preview each widget and see how to add it.

Share pages

Turn saved items into an unlisted page at sensefold.app/@handle/… that anyone with the link can read, no account needed. The page shows your items as they are now, not a snapshot from when you shared it.

• Create a page — start from You → My share pages → New Page, tap Share as page when browsing any tag or AI tag in Library, or choose Add to page… in any item’s ⋯ menu. Each page holds up to 200 items, reordered by dragging.
• Display levels — Minimal (“Only what you wrote and your photos”) or Summary (“Adds AI summaries and video chapters”). A separate toggle controls “Show my comments and highlights”.
• Access and link controls — anyone with the link, or the link plus a 6-character access code. Copy the link, pause the page, get a new link, change the code, or delete the page at any time.
• Link preview card — pick one of 87 background pictures and a Serif or Rounded font, and choose whether the title shows. With an access code set, the title never shows in the preview.
• First share setup — choose an @handle (permanent, cannot be changed later) and a public name. Accounts using Apple Hide My Email must add and verify a contact email before sharing.
• Page status — items included on a page display Public on N share pages.

You

The You tab replaced Settings:

• Activity and stats — displays counts for saved items, thoughts, and active days, plus an activity heatmap.
• Plan — your plan, and where to change it.
• Preference — configure Appearance (Accent Color, plus Sticky Note colours, shapes, and textures for notes on saved pages), view the Widgets guide, and manage AI Data Sharing.
• Sharing — view your @handle and manage My share pages.
• Come back — manage Daily review settings and daily notification toggles.
• Support and account — access Send Feedback, review Terms & Privacy, Sign Out, or select Delete All My Data.

Take it with you

• Copy any item as Markdown — see export your library.
• Share any item through the standard iOS share sheet.
• The whole library exports as a Markdown ZIP from the web app.

When you share a link, Sensefold visits it for you — see how capture works for what that yields per source. Everything you save on the phone is readable by your own AI over MCP: Sensefold for agents.
