Why a Shortcut

Fewer apps. Fewer sketchy sites. One Shortcut.

Most of us keep a few apps for file chores: one for PDFs, one for HEIC photos, one for removing backgrounds, one for QR codes. And every time you want to save a reel, it is another round of downloader sites, pop-ups and fake buttons. Grabio puts the common jobs behind one Share tap.

🗂

The Old Way
A separate app for every chore

A background-remover app, often on a monthly plan
A PDF app whose free tier runs out
Ads and upsells inside many of the free ones
A resizer app for social posts
A HEIC converter, a QR maker, an EXIF stripper, an image compressor
A different downloader site for every platform, often with pop-ups and fake buttons
Some of them upload your files to a server to process them

Several apps · often a subscription · a different site per platform

What even IS an Apple Shortcut?

Think of it as a tiny app - except Apple already installed the engine on your iPhone.

Built into iOS

The Shortcuts app comes pre-installed on iPhone. It's Apple's own automation tool, built for exactly this kind of job.

You install it once

Tap the install button and enter your email. We send you the install link. Open it, then iOS shows "Add Shortcut". Tap Add. No App Store, no big download.

Lives in the share sheet

Open any app - Safari, WhatsApp, Photos, Mail. Tap Share. Scroll the bottom row. Grabio is right there next to Copy and AirDrop. You never leave the app you're in.

Updates over the air

When a new version ships, the Shortcut can show a note with the update link. Tap it, add the new version, done. No App Store wait.

Grabio runs on the Shortcuts engine already on your iPhone, not as a separate app.
Small install, no App Store, and the on-device tools keep your files on your phone.

How it works

Three steps. Then forget it exists.

No account and nothing to learn. Add it once, then share.

📥

Add Grabio

Tap the install button on your iPhone and enter your email. We send you the install link. Open it and tap Add Shortcut.

How it compares

Fewer apps for the same jobs.

Instead of one app for background removal, one for PDFs, one for HEIC photos and one for QR codes, Grabio covers those jobs from the share sheet. It does not do everything: there is no document scanner, no photo borders, and a few formats are handed to third-party sites.

Why it feels lighter

Most tools work. The problem is what they make you do around the work.

No hunting for a siteShare a link and Grabio copies it, then opens a clean downloader. Tap Paste and download. Other tools make you find a working site, dodge ads and fake buttons, then save.
No app-switchingGrabio lives in the share sheet, one tap from Photos, Safari, WhatsApp, Mail and more.
No waiting aroundFile tools run on your iPhone, so there is no upload queue and no ad screen. Link downloads depend on the download site.
No file managementPhotos go to Photos. PDFs and audio go to Files, where you choose the folder.
No accountsNo password to forget. We use your email only to send the install link, a short setup guide and new-version notes. Unsubscribe any time.
No random uploadsMany online converters need you to upload your file. Grabio's on-device tools do not: the conversion happens on your iPhone. A few formats go to a named third-party service, listed in the privacy policy.

Add it once. Use it from the share sheet whenever you need it.

Your Privacy

Your files and links never reach my server.

Many free utility apps pay their bills with ads or user data. Grabio does neither. It is built so even I, the developer, couldn't see what you processed if I tried. That is how it is wired.

No accounts. No ad trackers. The site uses self-hosted Plausible for page views, with no cookies. The email you give for the install link is used only for that, a short setup guide and new-version notes. Your 2 a.m. screenshot stays on your phone.

🚫

Links never sent

Grabio copies the link to your clipboard; you paste it on the download site. It never touches our server.

🌐

Counters, not profiles

I count visits and taps. I do not build a profile of you or sell anything.

🔐

Anonymous install count

A random number counts installs. It cannot be linked to you or your phone.

🪪

No account ever

Add. Use. That's it.

⏱️

Counts, not content

I count installs, tool runs and download-page opens. No URLs, no files, nothing tied to you.

🧹

No uploads to Grabio

On-device tools run on your iPhone. Nothing to wipe.

🔒

On-device conversions never leave your iPhone.

Photo, PDF, audio and QR conversions that iOS can do run on your device using Apple's own tools. Nothing is uploaded, so there is nothing for me to see, store or leak. Formats iOS can't handle open a named third-party service (VERT, PDF24 or QRLynx), and your file goes there under its own policy. When you share a link, Grabio copies it to your clipboard and opens the download site, and you paste it there. It's never sent to my server. No account and no ad trackers. Your email is used only to send the install link, a setup guide and new-version notes.

Read Privacy Policy

I only keep anonymous counts: installs, which tools run, and how often a download page is opened. No links, no files, nothing tied to you.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Pick a topic, then tap a question.

Are you secretly going to sell my data?

No. There is nothing to sell. Your links and files never reach my server. The only personal thing I hold is the email you give to get the install link. Everything else is anonymous counters, such as how many times a download page was opened.

Selling data would mean rebuilding Grabio around collecting it, and I have no interest in that. Grabio costs very little to run because your files convert on your own iPhone, not on my server.

What if a hacker breaks into your server?

They would find anonymous counters and a list of email addresses from the install form. No passwords to crack, no files, no links, no home addresses. The same list also sits in my FluentCRM. A breach of Grabio would be boring, by design.

Can I see exactly what gets sent to your server?

Yes. Open Charles Proxy or any HTTPS inspector on your iPhone, fire the Shortcut, and watch. For on-device file tools you will see nothing leave. For the few formats that open VERT, PDF24 or QRLynx, you will see your file go to that service. For a link, you will see a hit to a grabio.adityaarsharma.com/go/ address with only a random install number attached. Your link sits after the # in the URL, which browsers never send. No third-party SDKs.

What's my privacy posture in plain English?

Grabio doesn't upload your files - conversions run on your own iPhone using Apple's built-in tools. No phone number, no account, no password. Your email is only used to send the install link. A random install number counts installs and can't be traced to you. Full retention table is on the Privacy Policy.

Save the video. Fix the file.One Shortcut. Free forever.
