A universal inbox for saving URLs, notes, images, emails, and audio — backed by remoteStorage. Your data stays on your own storage server, not someone else's cloud.
Web App — A Svelte app that displays all your saved items in a card grid. Connect to any remoteStorage-compatible server to view, browse, and manage your inbox items. Click any card to view full details, edit, convert to a todo, or delete. The header also links to a Plugins page with downloadable browser and Thunderbird builds.
Browser Extension — A Chrome/Firefox extension for quickly saving things while browsing:
- Save Page — Saves the current page as a bookmark with title, og:image preview, favicon, and site name. For tweets, it captures the full tweet text and any attached images.
- Quick Note — Jot down a note with no page context needed.
- Right-click: Save Link — Save any link to your inbox.
- Right-click: Save Image — Downloads and saves the actual image binary (not just the URL).
- Right-click: Save Selection — Saves highlighted text as a note with a link back to the source page.
Mobile App — A native iOS/Android app (Flutter) for quick capture on the go. Drop in text notes, audio recordings, or photos and send to your remoteStorage inbox. Includes offline queue with automatic sync.
Thunderbird Extension — A Thunderbird MailExtension (128+) for saving emails to your inbox:
- Opens from the message toolbar when reading an email.
- Pre-fills subject, sender, and body from the current email.
- Includes an optional notes field for your own annotations.
- Saves a
mid:URI link back to the original email in your mail client.
