Save Mastodon posts and turn them into steps

Last checked

Quick answer

To save a Mastodon post, open it, tap Share and choose DoSaveIt. We read public posts from any instance, using that instance's public API. Private post? Paste the text. You then get steps, notes and to-dos you can tick off, with one tap to your calendar or reminders.

Mastodon and DoSaveIt: common questions

Does DoSaveIt need my Mastodon login?

No. You share the post or paste it, and we never ask for your Mastodon password or log in for you. We read only what a logged-out visitor can see, or what you share to us.

What if DoSaveIt cannot read my Mastodon post?

Followers-only or private posts cannot be read. Copy the text and paste it into DoSaveIt. You still get a full result, and we never try to get around a block.

Does it work with any Mastodon server?

Yes, for public posts. Share the link to a single post; the server it lives on is used to read it.

Try it with your next Mastodon post. DoSaveIt turns what you share into steps, notes and to-dos. Free to start. Android first, and the web app works in any browser.
