Omoi Station — Support

A memory that files itself.

Omoi Station is a personal memory extension. You share something to it and forget about it; the app works out what the thing is, what it's about and who it came from, connects it to your related saves, and brings the right things back to you later.

There are no folders, no tags, no inbox and nothing to configure.

Requirements

  • iPhone or iPad running iOS 26 or later
  • An Apple Account signed into iCloud, if you want your library on more than one device

Getting started

The app is empty when you first open it, because content arrives by sharing rather than by browsing.

  1. In Safari, Music, a messaging app — anywhere — tap the Share button.
  2. Choose Omoi from the share sheet.
  3. Confirm. The save is instant and works offline.
  4. Open Omoi. Cards appear immediately and fill in with detail as the app identifies and enriches them.

You can also add something without the share sheet: the + menu in the app picks up a link from your clipboard.

Common questions

Nothing appears on the card except a grey outline. That is the skeleton state, shown while the app fetches the page. If it stays that way, the page could not be reached — check your connection. Nothing is ever lost: the item keeps whatever it already has and retries later.

My saves are not appearing on my other device. Sync uses your own iCloud private database. Check that both devices are signed into the same Apple Account and have iCloud Drive enabled. Sync only runs on a signed, installed build — not in the simulator.

The app says it cannot classify something. Classification prefers Apple's on-device model where the hardware supports it and falls back to built-in heuristics everywhere else, so it always produces something. Anything it is not confident about lands in "Saved" rather than being guessed at. You can correct any decision, and the app shows why it decided what it did.

Film and TV details are missing. Most enrichment needs no setup. TMDB and OMDb are the exceptions: they require an API key that you create yourself, free, and enter in Settings → Provider keys. Until then the app uses keyless sources instead.

Transcription or text extraction did not run. Both run on-device on shared audio, video and images. Transcription downloads a language model from Apple the first time you use a given language, so it needs a connection once.

Does the app work offline? Saving always works offline. Identifying and enriching a save needs a connection, and the app waits for one rather than failing.

Will this drain my battery or data? Enrichment runs as a background processing task, which iOS schedules when the device is idle, charging and on Wi-Fi.

Privacy

There is no Omoi account, no Omoi server, and no analytics. Your saves live on your device and in your own iCloud; classification and search run on-device. See the Privacy Policy for the detail, including the exact list of third-party services used to look up details about a save.

Reporting a problem

Omoi Station is open source, and bug reports are genuinely welcome.

When reporting something, the most useful details are: your device and iOS version, what you shared and from which app, and what you expected to happen instead.
