Free while in beta · works with Claude

The reels you save, finally useful.

Share a reel to Stash. A couple of minutes later it's a note you can search: recipes come back as ingredients and steps, books and movies land in a list, tips come with the next step. And Claude can read all of it.

No email, no password. iPhone, Android or computer.

Your Saved folder is a graveyard.

Hundreds of thumbnails, no search, no idea which one had the recipe. Stash turns each one into text you can find.

Questions

Which phones does it work on?

iPhone (through a Shortcut, Stash walks you through it), Android (install it from Chrome and it shows up in the share menu), and any browser, where you can paste links.

How long does a save take?

Usually a couple of minutes. You'll see it appear in your library with a "Reading…" card while it works.

Who can see my saves?

Only you, unless you share a note. Stash never re-posts the video, it keeps a short note and a small cover image. Details in the privacy policy.

There's no password. How do I get back in?

You get a private sign-in link. Stash asks you to save it (email it to yourself, or keep it in your notes). Open it on any device and you're in.

What's a Groq key and do I need one?

No. Groq runs the AI that reads reels. Stash covers it for you. If you save a lot, a free key of your own lifts your limit to 200 a day.

Stop losing the good ones.

Use your own Groq key

Free, faster, no shared limits
Optional

Stash reads reels with Groq’s AI. By default it uses a shared key with a small daily limit. Your own free key means your saves are never queued behind anyone else’s.

  1. Get a free key from GroqSign up free (Google or email works, no card needed), tap Create API Key, name it "Stash", and copy the key. It starts with gsk_ and Groq only shows it once, so paste it here straight away.
  2. Paste it hereWe check it works before saving, and store it encrypted.

Good to know

Limits, timing, privacy

What can I save? Links from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X and Threads.

How long does it take? Usually a couple of minutes. When lots of people are saving, or Stash's processing computer is offline, it can take a few hours. Nothing gets lost, it waits in line, and you'll see a banner if it's slow.

Limits. 25 saves waiting at once, and 30 a day on the shared AI allowance. Add your own free Groq key above and it's 200 a day.

Why did a save fail? Usually the post is private or deleted, or YouTube blocked the download. Tap Retry once. If it fails again, remove it.

Who can see my saves? Only you, in the app. But whoever runs Stash can read the database. Don't save anything you'd hate for them to see.

Leaving? Export your notes or delete your account under Your account. Deleting is permanent.
