Why Cache

Bookmarking is broken. When you hit "save" on a tweet, a video, or a post, you are making a deliberate decision that this is worth remembering. But that intent is immediately lost. It vanishes into a list you never revisit, scattered across a dozen platforms with no connection to your actual workflow or goals. The feeds are designed to keep you scrolling, not to help you resurface what you need. Existing tools treat the "save" action as an afterthought, a dead end rather than a starting point.

Cache exists because that signal is too valuable to waste. It treats the act of saving as a first-class event and builds the entire experience around turning that intent into action. It does not replace your platforms; it respects the intent behind why you use them and gives it a destination.

What Cache does for you

  • Unify your bookmarks — Integrate Cache into your day-to-day with first-class support for bookmarks from Browser bookmarks, Instagram Saved, TikTok Favorites, YouTube Watch Later, X/Twitter bookmarks, GitHub Stars, Pinterest, Google Photos, MCP, and more, all in one place. Unlike other tools that cap saves, Cache has no limits.
  • Smart collections — Automatically organizes entries into your collections with AI-assisted relevance ranking. Cache even learns your preferences over time.
  • Overviews — See a 1-line summary above every collection. As new entries are added, it updates instantly. And if you want to see more detail, just hit expand.
  • AI-assisted search — Ask the Cache AI agent and search across all your saved content.
  • Automations — Create custom agents to do anything. Generate daily digests, summaries, weekly reminders, and much more.
  • Note-taking — First-party note-taking support alongside bookmarks.
  • Collaboration — Share a live view of any collection with anyone, even if they don't use Cache.
  • Browser extension — Capture and sync saved content from anywhere on the web.
  • Export & integrate — Pipe results into other tools you already use.
  • Simple and low maintenance — Cache is designed to be simple, low-maintenance, and portable.
