Context builder for iOS

A “context builder” app that works for iPhone. The premise of the application is that I can highlight any piece of text or select any image or other content and via the built-in share sheet, add it to a universal unstructured personal context. The focus of the application should be exclusively on removing the barrier to adding context and content - it should be as easy and simple as possible to add something from any app or website on my phone. Eventually we will use this context to do something useful, like automatically creating “buckets” of related context, for example a selection of lifestyle guidelines and important advice, or a single place where all information related to an upcoming trip or house purchase are automatically collated.
