Fastest way to reach us: email codedelights@gmail.com with "CatchAll support" in the subject. Include your Android version, the app version (Settings → About), and — if it's a bug — what you did, what you expected, and what happened instead. You can also send feedback from inside the app (Settings → Feedback).
Getting started
- Install CatchAll from Google Play.
- Open any app that has a share button (Instagram, YouTube, X, Amazon, Chrome, etc.).
- Tap Share → CatchAll. You should stay in that app and see a short Caught ✓ Saved to CatchAll toast.
- Open CatchAll when you want — your catch appears under the source app (or your preferred grouping), with AI tags and a summary when enrichment finishes.
Common questions
CatchAll doesn't appear in my share sheet
- Install the full app from Google Play (share capture is not available in preview sandboxes like Expo Go).
- Android sometimes caches the share sheet — restart your phone after installing, or wait a minute and try again.
- CatchAll registers for links, text, images, and video shares. Some apps share unusual content types that Android won't route to us.
- In the system share sheet, use the app list / "More" if CatchAll is not among the first icons.
I shared to CatchAll but the app opened / I didn't see the toast
- Silent capture is the normal path: you should not be forced into CatchAll. If the full app opens every time, email us with your device model and Android version.
- The system toast is brief — look for Caught ✓ Saved to CatchAll near the bottom of the screen.
- Open CatchAll later: if the catch is there, capture worked even if the toast was easy to miss.
- Anything the background task couldn't finish is retried the next time you open the app.
My catch says "AI pending"
That's normal and harmless — the catch is saved and searchable by its native metadata. Enrichment is queued when:
- you're offline (it runs when you're back online);
- your free monthly quota (50 enrichments) is used up (it runs when the quota resets, or immediately if you add your own key in Settings);
- the AI service is temporarily unavailable (the app retries automatically).
How do I change the grid / list layout?
On My Catches, tap the view options control (sliders icon in the header). Choose Grid, List, or Rail, and group by App, Category, Content type, or Date. The preference is saved.
Sync isn't working
- Check Settings → Sync across devices is enabled and Google Drive shows as connected.
- Sync needs a network connection; changes made offline sync on the next opportunity.
- If sync stopped after about a week and reconnecting fixes it, your Google connection had expired — reconnect in Settings.
- Both devices must be signed in to the same Google account (sync goes through your Drive's app-private storage).
A page saved with no title or thumbnail
Some sites block metadata extraction or provide none. The catch is still saved with its raw link, and AI will infer what it can from the URL. You can edit any field yourself — tap the catch → Edit.
The AI picked a wrong category or tags
Just edit the catch — your manual choice always wins and is never overwritten by later AI processing.
How do I delete my data?
See the dedicated Data Deletion page — it covers local data, the optional Drive sync file, and revoking Google access.
Feature requests
We'd love to hear them — collections/folders, more cloud providers, a browser extension, and bulk actions are all on our radar. Use Settings → Feedback in the app, or email us with "CatchAll feedback" in the subject.
