Capturing orders with the iPhone app

The Brine app puts the full Brine experience on your iPhone and iPad — and adds one thing the browser can't: a share button that sends an order conversation straight to Brine from wherever it landed. This is the fastest way to capture an order you're handling on your phone. For all the other ways orders reach Brine, see Capturing orders.

Get the app (beta)

The app is in beta through TestFlight, Apple's app for trying new apps. Go to brine.co/download on your iPhone and:

1. Install TestFlight from the App Store.
2. Come back and accept the Brine beta invite.
3. Open Brine and sign in.

It works on iPhone 11 or newer, with iOS 26.

Share an order to Brine

Once you've opened the app and signed in at least once, the share button is ready to use anywhere on your phone. Signing in is what links it to your account — if you skip it, the share button asks you to open the app and sign in first.

1. In Messages, Mail, or any app, screenshot or select the order conversation.
2. Tap Share, then choose Brine.
3. If you belong to more than one organization, pick one under Save to.
4. Add a note if it helps.
5. Tap Send (or Cancel to back out).

You need to include some text or at least one file — Brine won't send an empty share.

What you can share

• Text — a selected message or anything you've typed.
• Photos and screenshots — PNG, JPEG, HEIC, WebP, or GIF.
• Documents — PDF, Word, and Excel.

You can attach up to 10 files, each up to 25 MB.

What happens next

Brine reads the share and turns it into a draft automatically, noted as created from an iOS capture. It shows up in Orders like any other draft — open it to check the items and quantities, then move it forward. Every share is also logged in Settings → Captures, with its source, note, attachments, and when it arrived, so you always have a record.

Push notifications aren't here yet, so check Orders for new captures. Everything else in the app matches the browser exactly.
