Scatterplot · iPhone app
Catch it all. Find it by day, place or project.
Scatterplot is for the stuff that piles up: the link you meant to read, the note about Friday, the photo of the thing you need to fix. Send it in from any app, file it into projects, and find it again on a timeline or a map. Nothing gets sorted behind your back. Where things go is your call.
- One Inbox for everything
- Signs in with GeniusID
- AI runs on the phone
In development.It runs on Joshua’s iPhone today. It isn’t on the App Store or in TestFlight yet.
What it does
Get it in fast. Sort it out when you’re ready.
Grouping follows plain rules you can see, like the same project tag or the same place. No AI reads your things when they arrive.
One Inbox
Share a page, a photo, a PDF or a file from any app, or add a note, a link, a camera shot or a check-in right in Scatterplot. Edit a title or a date, and the original stays on record.
“Arrived as …”
Projects
Tap a project to file something there. Project tags like
+garden-shedkeep related things together, and things from the same project or place group up on their own.Timeline
Everything shows up by the day it arrived. Search it in plain words. With Apple Intelligence, the search runs on your iPhone. Without it, Scatterplot matches the words you type.
Map
Check-ins and photos that carry a location land on a map. Keep the exact spot, or choose Area only and keep just the neighbourhood.
Point A
Write down where a project stands, in your own words. That note can start a plan in Masterplan, and the project can link to the goal it serves in Endgame.
Topics for Informant
Spot a subject worth keeping up with? Suggest it to Informant. Only the topic names you tick go across.
Where it fits
One family, one IDuh Pipeline.
Scatterplot holds what you’ve gathered. With Informant, it’s how you work out where you stand. Endgame says where you’re going, and Masterplan draws the way between. Each app works on its own.

Hand-offs move between apps on the same iPhone. A link is a reference, not a copy, and nothing is sent until you tap.
Where your things live
On your iPhone, and online with your GeniusID.
Scatterplot keeps some of what you add online, tied to your GeniusID, so it’s there for you on the web as well as on the phone.
On the phone
- Timeline search uses Apple’s on-device model. Your search words don’t leave the phone.
- A place can be the exact spot or Area only, rounded to the neighbourhood. You choose for each one.
- Camera and location are used only when you tap them, one check-in at a time.
Online, and when things move
- Place names come from Apple’s maps service when you check in or open the map.
- Hand-offs to Masterplan, Endgame or Informant happen only when you tap Send, and only to apps on the same iPhone.
- Online storage: certain things you add are stored online with IDuh Genius, tied to your GeniusID, so Scatterplot can show them on the web.
- Sign-in uses GeniusID, the IDuh Genius account. It’s how you reach your things on the web.

Questions
Short answers.
Can I get it?
Not yet. Scatterplot isn’t on the App Store or in TestFlight. When that changes, this page will say so.
Does AI sort my things?
No. Grouping follows plain rules, like a shared project tag or the same place. AI is used only when you search the Timeline, and it runs on your iPhone.
Where is what I put in kept?
On your iPhone, and some of it online with IDuh Genius, tied to your GeniusID, so Scatterplot works on the web too. Something goes to another app only when you send it there yourself.
Is it the same account as the other apps?
Yes. Scatterplot, Informant, Masterplan and Endgame all sign in with GeniusID, the one IDuh Genius account. In Scatterplot, it’s also what links your phone to the web.
