Chie searches your words, links and files, and the text inside every screenshot.

Your codes

Tonight’s ticket, already open.

Screenshot a ticket, a boarding pass or a membership card, or take a photo of it. Chie finds the code and keeps it ready.

  • On the day, the ticket comes first, big and bright.
  • Store and gym cards, the one you used last on top.
  • A photo of a card becomes a clean code a scanner can read.
  • One tap from home, Control Center, Siri or Chie’s icon.

Bring in screenshots

All those screenshots, finally findable.

Bring months of them into Chie in one go. Chie reads every one, gathers the trips among them, and can clear the originals out of Photos when you’re done.

The Photos library: screenshots of chats, maps, menus, posters, a boarding pass and receipts, all mixed together

Come back to it

Saves that pay off.

Plans you saved show up in Coming up, with “Going?” and a reminder the day before. Each day brings back what you kept on this day in past years, and a moment from history that matches what you save.

Notes is for writing. Photos is for photos.

Chie is for everything you meant to come back to.

The reel, the recipe, the ticket, the text from a friend. Shared from any app, in your own few words, and found again with one.

Private by design

Kept for you. Only you.

Chie needs no account and has no servers holding your things. Apple Intelligence does its reading on your iPhone.

On your iPhone

Memories, search and photo descriptions stay on the device. No ads, tracking or analytics.

Locked when you want

Turn on Face ID or Touch ID, and Chie asks every time you come back.

Backed up to your iCloud

Automatic backups go to your own iCloud Drive, and you can export everything as a file.

Kinko金庫

A safe inside Chie, for what’s just yours.

The surprise you’re planning, a note you’d rather no one saw when you hand over your phone. Move it to Kinko and it leaves your home screen, search and Coming up.

  • Opens only with your Kagi (鍵), a pattern or a 6-digit code you choose, separate from your iPhone passcode and Face ID.
  • Start a note with “Kinko” and it goes straight in, from the share sheet too.
  • Sealed in your backups and when it syncs, so it stays locked there as well.
  • Nobody can open it without your Kagi, not even us. If you forget it, you can erase Kinko and start again.
