Summary
Couch is an app for saving and organizing content across iPhone, iPad and Mac. Users can save without a stated item limit on the free tier, then arrange items with tags, folders and smart folders. Search can find saved content by title, tag, author or website, and individual items support highlights, comments and summaries. A built-in reader allows offline reading, while iCloud sync carries content across Apple devices without a separate account. Browser extensions are available for Safari, Firefox, Chrome and compatible browsers, and highlights can be exported. The app says it has no sign-up, tracking or ads, and that user data is stored in iCloud rather than tracked, mined or sold. Apple Intelligence summaries and tag suggestions are processed on-device. The free version includes unlimited saves and basic features; Pro is a one-time in-app purchase, though no current price is listed here.
