What it is
Filed for mobile is a Progressive Web App. You install it once from your browser (no Play Store) and it appears on your home screen like any other app. When you're reading an article, watching a video in Reddit, or copying a link from Messages, you can send it straight to Notion in one tap.
Available on Android (TWA via Play Store, or install from Chrome) and iOS/iPadOS (install from Safari).
Installation
Step 1: Open the app in Chrome
On your Android device, open Chrome and navigate to app.usefiled.app.
Step 2: Add to home screen
Tap the Chrome menu (three dots) → Add to Home Screen or Install app. The app installs silently: no store approval, no update delays.

Step 3: Connect your Notion workspace
Tap Connect Notion in the app. You'll authorize Filed in the same Notion OAuth flow as the extension. Same account, same access.
Step 4: Share anything
Open any app on your phone. Find a link, an article, a product. Tap Share, then pick Filed. The save card opens, you confirm, done. The page is in your Notion workspace before you switch back.
What you can save
URLs: any link from any app. Websites, articles, products, social posts, YouTube videos. If it has a URL, Filed can save it.
When you share a URL, Filed fetches the page's title, description, and cover image automatically. The save card shows a link preview, and the cover image becomes your Notion page's cover, so saves look rich without any extra work.
Images: save from your camera roll or take a photo. Goes to Notion as an image block. Useful for receipts, whiteboards, screenshots you want to keep organized.
Workflow sync
If you use the Filed Chrome or Firefox extension on desktop, your custom workflows appear in the mobile app automatically. The workflow selector sits at the top of the screen. Tap to switch before saving.
Domain rules sync too. If you've set up a domain rule on desktop (e.g. "any YouTube link → Videos database"), mobile respects it automatically. When you share a URL that matches a rule, Filed pre-selects the right workflow and shows a small label confirming it.
Duplicate detection. If you try to save a URL you've already saved, the save card warns you with the original save date and an "Open in Notion" link. You can still save again if you want a second entry.
History
Everything you save from mobile shows up in your History tab, alongside everything you saved on desktop. One unified capture history across devices.
The history sheet sits at the bottom of the screen. Drag it up to see your recent saves grouped by date.
Privacy
The mobile app follows the same privacy model as the extension.
When you save a URL, Filed sends it to the Notion API using your personal access token. Content goes directly from your phone to Notion. Filed's servers never see it. Only a count of how many saves you've made.
Your Notion token is stored on your device. It is never transmitted to Filed's servers except during the initial OAuth exchange.
Offline
If your connection drops, the app shows a banner. Saves made without a connection will fail. There's no offline queue on mobile. Reconnect and try again.

FAQ
Do I need the extension to use the mobile app? No. The mobile app works independently. If you also have the extension, your workflows and history sync automatically.
Is there an iOS version? Yes. Install the PWA from Safari on iPhone or iPad: visit app.usefiled.app, tap the share icon, then "Add to Home Screen". Once installed, Filed appears as a share destination across iOS apps.
Is it on the Play Store? Yes, Filed is available on the Google Play Store for Android. You can also install it directly from Chrome without going through the Store.
Can I save full article content like the extension does? Not yet. Mobile saves the URL, title, and image (if you share one). Full article extraction is an extension feature for now.
What if I'm not logged in when I share something? Filed stores the URL. After you connect Notion, the save resumes automatically.
