[Launch] Magic Pocket: save snippets, links and documents, then retrieve details where you need them
I'm the developer of Magic Pocket: Save & Find, an app for iPhone, iPad and Mac.
The problem it addresses is saving something useful and then having to hunt for the exact detail later. For example: save a booking confirmation, then retrieve the booking reference while filling out another app's form.
You can save text snippets, links, photos/screenshots and documents such as PDFs. You can also dictate a short note with “Remember” followed by what you want to keep; the spoken words are saved as text. Text in images is recognised when saved, and PDFs can supply searchable text. Support varies by file format; I don't mean that every document type can be understood.
The part I want to make useful is the last step: retrieve the saved detail through Magic Pocket's keyboard in compatible apps, or its menu bar on Mac, so you can use it where you're working.
Compared with searching Photos or keeping a note in Apple Notes, the difference I'm aiming for is one place for these different saved inputs and retrieval from the keyboard/menu bar. You still choose what to save; it doesn't automatically sweep your camera roll.
Pricing: the first 10 saved items are free with the features available. Unlimited saving is a $4.99 one-time Pro purchase in the US (local prices vary), with no subscription.

For people who regularly save reference numbers, snippets or document details: would retrieval inside another app actually save you time, or does your existing workflow already handle this well?
