This reminds of Rewind [1]. I'm not affiliated to them in anyway, but I have been using their product for a few months and finding it quite useful. Their approach of screenshotting everything and saving it locally is more convenient for me, at least. [1] https://www.rewind.ai/

Thanks, we actually used Rewind in the past.

We simply found that there were things we didn't want in our first brain, let alone in our second brain. That's why we've taken a curated content approach.

Rewind captures everything, while Zenfetch only stores the content you've explicitly saved to signal there is value.

I don't need to be reminded of the accidental clickbait article I've opened :)

Perhaps I’m not understanding how this stores data, but how do I retrieve source material after I give it to the app?

Eg. Let’s say I adopt Zenfetch, and start using it as the sole place where I keep bookmarks. Then, something happens such that I want to retrieve that original, principal, bookmark data.

How do I go about retrieving/exporting that?

We will enable an export data option soon where you can download a list of the bookmarks you saved to Zenfetch.

Our goal is not to become a vendor lock-in play. Instead, Zenfetch is a layer on top of your knowledge base goaled on helping you activate information that you forgot about.

If you're referring to being able to revisit bookmarks: from the dashboard, you can click on any of the articles to see the original article

Let me know if more clarity is needed

Hey Akash & Gade, Whom do you think is the ideal ICP for Zenfetch?

Hey great question. We consider the following a good fit for us: - In terms of role, we’ve found prosumers (specifically content creators) get a lot of value out of being able to take their previous writing/research and generate new ideas or rough drafts - People whose job relies on collecting a lot of information such as founders, consultants, coaches, etc. have also been power users - Finally anyone who tends to consume a lot of content whether it’s videos, blogs, newsletters, or books has found value in being able to quickly find the source or context for the idea they were thinking of
