Save links and screenshots. Find them by whatever you remember.
Links and screenshots in one library. No folders, no tags, no setup. The text inside every image is read on your iPhone, so one remembered word is enough.
Light, dark or system, like the app.
Built for people who save a lot and organize nothing.
Folders feel like chores. Tags need discipline you don't have at midnight. Backpacks replaces the filing cabinet with the way you actually remember.
Sorting you abandon in three days.
Every save asks a question. Which folder? Which tags? Within a month the good stuff is buried in a list you never open.
Type the one thing you remember.
Share an image, link or file to Backpacks and keep moving. It reads the page in the background, and the text in every image on your iPhone. Later, a single word finds it.
Terminal 2, Gate 14B, Seat 23A
Everything you saved, already in order.
Home shows your latest images, links and files. All Items shows the lot. Switch the filters on the phone, it's the real layout.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Made for iPhone, with iOS 26 all the way through.
One tap from the Share sheet
Share a link from Safari or any app. Backpacks saves it and reads the page in the background.
Text inside images
Each image is read on your iPhone, so the words in it are searchable later.
Search the way you remember
Results appear as you type and match titles, sites, page text and screenshot text.
Files and notes too
Add PDFs and documents, and a short note on any save to remember why you kept it.
Synced through your iCloud
Your library stays in step across your devices. No account to make.
Yours to take with you
Export everything as a zip of original images plus library.json, and import it again.
Small on purpose.
Backpacks is a 6.3 MB app that does one job. Save a thing, find it later by whatever you remember. There's no account to make and nothing to set up before it's useful.
Questions, answered.
How does Backpacks search text inside images?
When you add an image or screenshot, Backpacks reads the text in it on your iPhone and keeps it searchable next to your links and screenshots. Type a word you remember and the image comes up with the matching line.
Do I need an account?
No. There is nothing to sign up for.
Is Backpacks really free?
Yes. It is free on the App Store.
How is this different from Safari Reading List?
Reading List keeps web pages. Backpacks keeps links and screenshots in one library, and reads the text inside images so you can search for it later.
Can I take my library with me?
Yes. Export your whole library as a zip of original images plus a library.json file, and import it again whenever you like.
Stop organizing. Start remembering.
