Q: Can I share things into Briefty?

A: Yes. Save photos or links directly from other apps using the Share button. You can also save screenshots straight into Briefty before they are saved to Photos.

You may need to scroll right in the Share Sheet's apps row and tap More to enable Briefty. This only needs to be done once.

Q: How do I add a note, expiry or cover to a card?

A: Tap a card to open it, then swipe up to open its details sheet. There you can add a title of the loyalty card, note, expiry date or hide the image using the eye icon.

Cards can also be deleted from there, or by pressing and holding the card on the Homepage.

Q: How do I use Shelf, Desk, Box & Temp?

A: Think of them as four simple collections:

Shelf - quick saves without much thought. Articles, links, screenshots or places to revisit later.

Desk - things you open often. Favourite websites, YouTube playlists, images with notes or things you refer to regularly.

Box - things you rarely need, but want ready when you do. Receipts, instructions, measurements or replacement parts.

Temp - short-term things that automatically delete after 180 days. Shopping ideas, screenshots or things you may not need later.

Each item keeps photos, notes, links and details together in one organised place.

These collections are designed to keep things quick and easy to find.

Q: Can I change the names of the Tasks lists?

A: Yes. Tap and hold the task list name to change it. You can even use a single emoji, which also appears on the Homepage.

Q: Does Briefty replace Apple Wallet?

A: Briefty works well alongside Apple Wallet for loyalty cards, ticket screenshots and temporary items that are quicker to access from the Homepage or widgets.

A: Your saved things stay on your device. Make sure your iPhone is backed up.

Q: What happens if I stop using Briefty?

Your digital briefcase for everyday life

Keep everyday essentials organised, easy to find and ready when needed.

Briefty is an independent app created by a small team in London. We built it because we wanted a more private and simpler way to handle everyday things.

The goal is to keep the things you actually need nearby, organised and easy to find - without needing to think too much about it.

Every part of Briefty is carefully thought through and designed from the ground up to be quick, clear and easy to use - where every tap matters.

Briefty is offline first and lightweight, with no accounts, no tracking and no complexity. It does not ask for personal information, avoids distractions, banners and  unasked-for notifications.

Briefty is your digital briefcase that stays out of the way - but is always here when you need it.
