Here is an interesting find I’ve made that I would like to share with all here.

Fetching.io saves every page you’ve visited, that you can search through to find something you may have read in the past. Works for personal notes, too.

There is a cloud service or a Mac application that you can use. There is a Linux application in development. Also, for those interested in Windows, they are asking for feedback.

There is a browser extension for Firefox, Chrome & Safari web browsers. Works on mobile as well - tablets and phones.

“Automatic indexing of all sites you visit”—interesting, but I didn’t see a way to turn this off other than turning on privacy mode. Most sites I visit are not interesting enough to save, so I would think with the desktop version of Fetching I could end up with yet another large cache that’s 95% irrelevant. Looks like the cache keeps growing and growing wihout a way to trim it of cruft. I think it’s maybe more efficient to clip webarchives—which are searchable—into the file system (or something like DEVONthink, Together, etc.).
