Scrappy 1.2 is now available. This version updates the user interface for Liquid Glass on macOS 27 Golden Gate, as well as integrates with Apple Intelligence on macOS 27, iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. Scrappy 1.2 also further bolsters its Shortcuts support, and improves management of iCloud downloads.

macOS 27 Golden Gate

Scrappy 1.2 is updated for Liquid Glass on macOS 27. Thumbnails and selected list rows have tighter corners to match the reduced window corners, web link articles no longer have rounded corners, and icons will only appear in menus when relevant. The appearance of date pickers in the smart list editor has also been improved. 

Scrappy automatically benefits from other macOS 27 changes such as sharper app icons, improved toolbar buttons, and the restoration of the separated sidebar, accent colors in the sidebar, and toolbar backgrounds. 

These changes bring Scrappy much closer to how it was originally designed for macOS Sequoia and earlier, to the extent that if you skipped macOS 26, it may just appear a little refreshed. For everyone else, Scrappy for Mac is now the tight and neat little app it was always meant to be.

iOS 27 and iPadOS 27

Scrappy automatically benefits from most of the Liquid Glass refinements on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, but additional work has been done to ensure icons only appear in the main menu when relevant on iPad.

Shortcuts & Apple Intelligence

Scrappy now integrates with Apple Intelligence on macOS, iOS and iPadOS 27, allowing Siri to initiate an in-app search and open items in Scrappy. Scrappy 1.1 laid the groundwork for this integration with its Spotlight indexing and array of Shortcuts actions. 

When using “Find Items” you can now filter by lists and dates too, and sort the results by various dates too. Finally there are two more actions for working with lists: “Move List” and “Change List Icon”.

Space Saver

When Scrappy is using iCloud and “Keep items downloaded” is not selected, Scrappy will now remove downloads for items that have not been viewed for 30 days, excluding favorite items.

Notes

Paste Markdown as formatted text in notes by choosing “Paste as Markdown” from the Edit menu on Mac and the text editing menu on iPad and iPhone. This is useful when, for example, pasting text from sources such as AI agents that generate Markdown rather than rich text.

Availability

Scrappy is available for Mac, iPhone and iPad from the App Store, with a choice of Mac, mobile, and universal subscriptions. Existing users will get this update automatically. See the release notes for Mac, and for iPhone and iPad for a full list of changes. 

If you’re enjoying Scrappy, please consider rating it and maybe even leaving a review on the App Store—these things really help apps get noticed. Thanks!

Keep It 2.9 is now available. This version updates Keep It for macOS 27 Golden Gate, iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, allows pasting Markdown text into notes, adds twenty new Shortcuts actions and makes improvements to others, along with improvements to bookmarks import and search.

macOS 27 Golden Gate

Keep It has been updated for Liquid Glass on macOS 27 Golden Gate, ensuring that icons are only used in menus when relevant, and improves the appearance of date pickers in the saved search editor.  

Keep It automatically benefits from other macOS 27 changes such as sharper app icons, improved toolbar buttons, and the restoration of the separated sidebar, accent colors in the sidebar, toolbar backgrounds, and the tighter window corner radii of previous macOS releases.

iOS 27 and iPadOS 27

Similar to the Mac version, on iPad, icons are only shown in menus when relevant, and on both iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, Keep It benefits from changes to Liquid Glass, with improved buttons and sidebar appearance.

Notes

Paste Markdown as formatted text in notes by choosing Paste as Markdown from the Edit or contextual menu. This is useful, for example, when pasting text from sources such as AI agents. Your existing note styles will be used, same as when Keep It converts Markdown files to notes.

In addition, there are improvements when converting Markdown files that contain tables, and on iOS / iPadOS Keep It can now more reliably match header styles to its own note styles.

Shortcuts

Since Keep It 2.7, its Shortcuts actions have transitioned to a new architecture compatible with Spotlight on macOS Tahoe, and Apple Intelligence on macOS 27 Golden Gate and iOS 27 — this transition is completed in Keep It 2.9. 

There is a new “Find Items” action where you can build a search based on a set of filters with more flexibility than before, particularly for names and dates. The old version of this action is renamed to “Get Items (Legacy)” and will be removed in a future release. To supplement this there is a new “Get Items from Folder” action, which can get all the items in the folder and optionally its nested folders and bundles—the “Find Items” action will only match on the exact folder.

For lists, the new “Find Lists” action provides similar functionality, and will also replace “Find Folders” and “Find Bundles”. The old versions of these have all been marked as “Legacy”.

The monolithic “Set Properties on Item” action will be replaced with the following discrete actions, which are a much better fit when using natural language creation in Shortcuts:

• Rename Item
• Change Item Comments
• Change Item Source
• Add Favorite Item
• Remove Favorite Item
• Add Tags to Item
• Remove Tags from Item
• Change Label on Item

…and these will replace the functionality of “Set Properties on List”:

• Rename List
• Move List to List
• Change List Color
• Add Favorite List
• Remove Favorite List

There are also new actions for working with labels:

• Add Label
• Rename label
• Change Label Color
• Add Favorite Label
• Remove Favorite Label
• Find Labels

On all OS versions, actions in the Shortcuts app are now grouped by category.

Search

On Mac and iPad, it’s now possible to right-click chosen suggestions to show a contextual menu to modify them, and on iPad or iPhone to tap them and show the context menu. Also, when using the “contents:” keyword, a corresponding suggestion will be included in the list. 

On Mac, when a saved search is selected in the sidebar, its rules are no longer shown in the search field (that was a provision before Keep It had a saved search editor), and on iPhone, when you navigate back to the Lists view, the current search will be cleared.

More

Keep It can now better handle the import of large Bookmarks HTML files, improves Library Settings on iPhone and iPad, and shows a clearer and localized duration for movie and audio files in the items list. Finally, when importing from Apple Notes on macOS 27, Keep It can convert horizontal dividers.

Keep It for Mac 2.9 requires macOS 15 or later, and Keep It for iPhone and iPad requires iOS 18 or later. For all full list of changes, see the Release Notes:

• Keep It 2.9 Mac Release Notes
• Keep It 2.9 iPhone and iPad Release Notes

Allister Jenks has written a review of Scrappy, which you can read on the Podfeet Podcasts site. Allister really is using the app, which he paid for for himself, and not just messing around with a free review copy, so if you’d like to see Scrappy in use from someone else’s perspective, check it out.

Thanks to Allister for the review!

Scrappy 1.1 is now available. This version adds Shortcuts actions, Spotlight integration, tag names in the Thumbnails View, bookmarks import on iPhone and iPad, Go To List on Mac, and other improvements.

Tag Names in Thumbnails View

It’s now possible to see tag names below the thumbnails rather than just tag colors on the thumbnail itself. Enable this in View Options.

Spotlight

Scrappy is now integrated with Spotlight on Mac, iPad, and iPhone allowing you to see items from Scrappy in Spotlight’s results.

Shortcuts

Scrappy already included shortcut actions for adding text, links and files, and appending those things to notes. Version 1.1 adds 18 actions for working with items, tags and lists, allowing many more tasks to be automated.

These are the new actions for lists:

• Add List
• Delete List
• Find Lists
• Get List
• Open List
• Rename List

And these are the new actions for items:

• Add Items to List
• Move Items to List
• Remove Items from List
• Delete Items
• Add Tags to Items
• Remove Tags from Items
• Find Items
• Get Item
• Get Items in List
• Get Text Content
• Rename Item
• Open Item

Bookmarks HTML Import

Many bookmarking services can export an HTML file of your links organized into folders, and some of those also include dates and tags. On Mac, Scrappy could already import and export bookmarks HTML files, preserving the hierarchy, dates and tags, and that’s now available on iPhone and iPad too. 

To import, choose a single bookmarks HTML file, and Scrappy will ask whether to import the bookmarks rather than the file itself. Exporting the “Web Links” list will offer to export the links as individual web location files or a bookmarks HTML file.

Go To List

Scrappy for Mac can now find and open a particular list. Choose Go > Go to List from the menu and start typing.

More Search Options on iPhone and iPad

On iPad and iPhone, it’s now possible to tap on chosen search suggestions to modify them (you could already do this on Mac). The options shown will depend on the suggestion, but this allows you to change how dates are matched and negate certain terms, for example.

Availability

Scrappy is available for Mac, iPhone and iPad from the App Store, with a choice of Mac, mobile, and universal subscriptions. Existing users will get this update automatically. See the release notes for Mac, and for iPhone and iPad for a full list of changes. 

If you’re enjoying Scrappy, please consider rating it and maybe even leaving a review on the App Store—these things really help apps get noticed. Thanks!

Keep It 2.8 is available today. This version includes improvements for scanning documents, linking to items and lists, the items list, and editing notes and text files in windows on iPadOS 26, along with new and improved Shortcuts actions.

Document Scanning

The default name for scanned documents now includes the date and time.

On Mac when importing from a scanner, there is now an option to show the Import View when scanning a document to set a name, tags and choose a location before the scan is added to Keep It’s library. 

On iPad and iPhone, when scanning with the document camera, the resulting scanned PDFs now always have OCR performed on them, when available.

Linking to Items and Lists

Linking to items and lists in notes, rich text documents and Markdown files is now much simpler — start typing the name of any list or item in Keep It’s library, and choose from the suggestions shown below the link field. 

When inserting links to items into a Markdown document, it’s also possible to insert a relative path to the item; links to image items in Keep It are always inserted that way.

Shortcuts

There is a new “Append Link” action for appending links to notes and other editable text files. This was already possible with the “Add Web Link” action, but as that is primarily for saving standalone web links, the feature got missed. 

The “Find Items” shortcut now has a “Match Name Exactly” option for matching items by their exact name, rather than a portion of it.

And More

There are a various refinements for iOS 26 and iPadOS 26, including support for constraining the width of notes and editable text files in windows on iPadOS 26, which previously only applied to full-screen iPad apps. 

Across all versions, name generation for notes and web links has been improved, particularly in non-Latin languages, and Keep It can now show thumbnails for PDFs attached to notes in the items list.

Keep It 2.8 requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later, or iOS 17 / iPadOS 17 and later.
