Gladys ​

Gladys is a drag-and-drop shelf app for iPad that holds things you want to set aside, such as links, text snippets, map locations, contacts, images, photos, emails, messages and much more. Protocol Launcher allows you to generate deep links to create items and paste from clipboard in Gladys.

Usage ​

There are two ways to use this library:

  • On-Demand import from subpaths enables tree-shaking and keeps bundles small.
  • Full Import from the root package is convenient but includes all app modules.

Pick On-Demand for production builds; Full Import is fine for quick scripts or demos.
