About Eyeball
Eyeball is a log for the links you want to keep, such as articles, podcasts, recipes, posts and videos. For each link you can note the platform, the date, the friend who sent it and the group chat it arrived in, and add notes next to it. The aim is to remember not only what you saved but why.
You can set your own reminders to read, watch, try, share or listen again, and the app also sends AI-powered weekly recaps and links resurfaced from your archive. Filters adapt to your library as your interests change, a chat feature uses AI to find links in context, such as every recipe a particular friend sent, and an instructions field lets you tell the app about yourself so its answers improve.
The app runs on iPhone and iPad and is free to download with in-app purchases, including a Patron tier that the developer says supports its independence. The App Store listing describes a small team maintaining the product.
