Copy anything → popup appears on desktop → choose to keep → AI organizes it into a knowledge base
You decide what to keep. AI makes sense of it.
Privacy first — all data stored in local SQLite database.
Network transparency: URL reading can send the full URL to Jina Reader, and the Chinese UI can send foreign-language page text to Google Translate. Both are enabled by default for compatibility and can be disabled independently in Settings. Platform-specific readers may still contact the source platform or its API.
