Raw save
Send it before it disappears
Share the post, video, thread, or link from the app where you found it.
Cleanse / share layer / Mac proof
Turn anything you save into something useful.
Save from Substack, YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, articles, or a plain link. Cleanse keeps the source, gives you a useful read, and helps you leave with something you can keep, organize, copy, share, or send onward.
02iPhone alpha / share to useful
Share once.
Leave with something useful.
The point is not a multi-step workflow. Cleanse turns a raw share into a source-attached save: what it is, who made it, the useful read, and where it can go next.

Useful read
Know what you kept
Cleanse keeps the source and creator attached, then gives you the quick version it can honestly provide.
Next use
Put it somewhere useful
Save it to your library, group it with related saves, copy it, or share it onward.
Result
Not another raw link.
You keep what it is, who made it, the useful read, and what you can do with it next.

03Mac companion / library
The same library, with room to think.
Open the library when one save becomes many. The Mac companion gives your saves room to compare, group, and finish what was half-decided on the phone.

Opened on Mac
The same save, now with room to compare it against the library.
05Use / save or share
Review the artifact, then use it where it belongs.
When something stays in Cleanse, it has a library. When it leaves Cleanse, the original link stays close. If Cleanse only knows a little, the artifact says a little.

06Privacy / your context
Your context does not have to travel.
Cleanse can make something useful to send without turning your whole library into a public profile.
Your context
What you do with a source should not become a public profile.
Shared summaries
What you send can stand on its own without exposing the whole library.
Light by default
Cleanse should do the useful small thing before it asks for anything heavier.
No invented certainty
A link-only save starts as a link-only save until there is more to know.
C

The iPhone alpha is for people who save more than they can return to. The Mac proof is the larger surface for the moments that need room.
