Welcome to Indie App Spotlight, a weekly 9to5Mac series showcasing the latest apps in the indie app world.
If you lose track of things you’d like to reference later, Laytr might be a nice solution for you. All of us save things all over the place, whether that be browser bookmarks, built-in bookmarking features within apps, taking a screenshot to hopefully find later, or just leaving a tab open and hoping we find it again. Laytr aims to be a nice all-in-one solution for keeping track of your digital bookmarks.
Highlights
Laytr offers an incredibly organized UI for keeping tabs on everything. It works with the native iOS share sheet, so when you find something, just hit share and tap Laytr. After that, you can set a category for the item and choose when you want to be reminded about it again.
Within the app, there are three core tabs. The first is the Now tab, which highlights things you need to see imminently. Timeline lets you scroll ahead and see items based on the date you set the reminder for. Library lets you see everything you’ve ever saved, organized by category or grouped together. Beyond that, you can also search across all saved items.
One differentiating feature is that there’s no sync, even with iCloud, and no accounts. Everything lives on your device in its own separate bubble, and your data will never live on someone else’s server.
Download the App
Laytr is available for free on the App Store for iPhone models running iOS 17 and later. The app is free to use, but unlimited access requires a $1.99/month or $14.99/year subscription. A lifetime license is also available — normally $39.99, but discounted to $24.99 for early adopters.
Features like searching and exporting will never be locked behind the paywall, so even if you decide to unsubscribe, the app remains fully usable for your saved content.
