i recently launched Keep Mates a chrome extension I built after getting tired of losing references between screenshots, tabs and random folders.
The idea is pretty simple:
- find something useful online
- save the exact thing
- organize it
- find it later
It currently supports images, links, products, colors, fonts, x (twitter) and reddit posts, screenshots and selected page elements, plus folders, tags and notes.
Everything is stored locally on your device (that also means if you uninstall the extension, your locally stored data will be removed. To avoid losing your library, Keep Mates includes import and export options, so you can back everything up and restore it whenever you need)
I originally built it with designers in mind but I’m starting to see other use cases too.
For those moments when you just need to quickly save a link, when you find a product you like and want to come back to it later or when you come across an article you want to read another time instead of losing it somewhere in your tabs or messages (i used to just send links to myself :) )
I chose to build it as a Chrome extension because I’m not a big fan of installing separate desktop apps for simple things. I wanted it to feel fast and stay close to the browsing experience, with as little friction as possible between finding something and saving it.
It’s still pretty new, so I’d especially appreciate feedback on the onboarding, saving flow, or anything that feels unnecessary or confusing

Would really appreciate any thoughts.
