Keep It is just fantastic. You can chuck anything from markdown notes to websites to PDFs and images into it, and it can keep everything organized. I use it to replace Notion as my web clipper/bookmarks, and also to store sensitive financial documents (the Face ID-enabled encryption for single documents is perfect), and also to make notes about things I want to remember. Search works well and is granular, and there are advanced saved searches (although I haven't used them much); it also has OCR for PDFs and images! It uses iCloud to store everything, so my data's not going to some sketchy third-party server, and all the files are accessible via iOS's file manager; if I ever do want to leave, it's not going to lock me in with a proprietary export format (*cough cough* Evernote *cough cough*). Shortcut support is there, if a little buggy at the moment, but we'll see if those bugs go away in time.Support is great. I contacted the developer to report a problem, and he got back to me within a day and helped me solve the problem. This is better than a lot of companies that have a lot more employees (as far as I can tell, Keep It is a one-man show).Considering that Keep It is good enough and capable enough to be an Evernote replacement, and it feels like an app that Apple designed, I feel a little bad for only paying $13 CAD for a year's subscription.If you're looking for an Evernote replacement or a document/notes manager that can handle anything you throw at it, Keep It is for you. Use the free trial and move your stuff in, and you'll probably be there to stay.
Read-it-later replacement

Among other useful things, Keep It has replaced Instapaper and Pocket for me. Using the bookmark bar service, or sharing service, I save items to Keep It which I wish to read later. With quick iCloud sync I have all my reading and reference materials at hand on all my devices and desktop/laptop. Wonderful app; I highly recommend it.
So dumb

Forces me to select a payment schedule (monthly or yearly) before I even get to do an evaluation. Could be a good program but I won’t know because I deleted it. Dev fail.User response: No.
