Yes! In the dashboard (https://dashboard.zenfetch.com) you should see a settings icon on the bottom left. There you can disable the zenfetch button from appearing on the page.

Then you can click on the zenfetch extension popup to still save a tab :D

No need to export the Google doc as a PDF. Zenfetch can save Google docs directly by clicking the zenfetch button once your on that page :)

We will enable an export data option soon where you can download a list of the bookmarks you saved to Zenfetch.

Our goal is not to become a vendor lock-in play. Instead, Zenfetch is a layer on top of your knowledge base goaled on helping you activate information that you forgot about.

If you're referring to being able to revisit bookmarks: from the dashboard, you can click on any of the articles to see the original article

Let me know if more clarity is needed

just a list of urls or the actual content?

Zenfetch will capture the actual content of those URLs (assuming they still exist and are accessible from your browser)

Not the original poster, but still not clear to me.

Say I mark a page that contains really usable information. For some reason, 2 months later that page goes offline because the domain was not renewed (or whatever). Some time after that happened, I need that information. Will I still be able to see the original content, or not?

Similar thing, I mark a page. The author updates the url with different content 2 months later. Some time after that happened, I need that information. Will I still be able to see the original content, or will I just find the new updated content?

I guess the question is: is a snapshot taken from the actual content at the time I mark it as interesting and can that snapshot be shown, or not?

Snapshot is taken from the actual content at that point in time. We haven’t enabled a reader format just yet where you could view the original text. Right now, clicking the card in the dashboard will redirect you to the URL.

If you were to chat with the article from the dashboard, it would be preserving the snapshotted content and leverage that information in the final answer (same with using the search functionality).

Clear, thanks!

I did not test it yet, but it looks like something that would be very useful for me. So, I will definitely try it.

I will add that me too, I have some concerns regarding the data being "locked" in your service, but I read in other comments that at some point it will be possible to create an export of some sort. When using this to carefully craft a knowledge base during months, it would be very painful if that is all lost when stopping the service for whatever reason.

As others asked, I would appreciate an Android/iOS app to register new content when reading something on the phone.

Regarding the pricing, it mentions a fixed price per month, but is there any limit on the amount of data that is uploaded (for example when uploading PDFs) ? Is there any limit on the amount of content in the knowledge base?

Appreciate that and yes in the absolute worst case, you can email us and we can manually export your data on your behalf.

We are using a fixed price today and have no restriction on storage. This might change in the future if costs scale, though it’s not an immediate priority and we’d be sure to communicate those changes well in advance.

Once you’re onboarded, feel free to message us with the in app support widget. It’s a direct line to the team slack and we tend to respond almost immediately

I am trying to create an account (using a gmail address as email address), but I do not receive a code through email. I already tried multiple times. Any idea what is going on?

Sorry about that, this happens sparingly with our auth provider.

It might take a couple of minutes. Would recommend checking spam or trying again in a bit

Thanks, we actually used Rewind in the past.

We simply found that there were things we didn't want in our first brain, let alone in our second brain. That's why we've taken a curated content approach.

Rewind captures everything, while Zenfetch only stores the content you've explicitly saved to signal there is value.

I don't need to be reminded of the accidental clickbait article I've opened :)

We do use the standard hallucination checks to make sure the final generated answer is rooted in the retrieved context.

It is an ongoing effort to ensure truly factual answers and this is one of our top priorities :)

It's part of the roadmap, likely releasing in Q2

Is that your browser of choice?

Would love to try this (have a less sophisticated pre-LLM approach running locally), and also use Safari as my main browser. Instant paying customer for Safari, right here.

Also find myself having a pretty severe allergic reaction to websites (Gem is a recent example) roadblocking anything but Chrome (seemingly both because of their web app literally not functioning properly in Safari, and their browser extension being Chrome-only):

a) essentially forcing me to use Chrome for one task, whilst deal with password management in two places, etc., and

b) giving me the nagging worry that the design of the app or extension might contravene some non-technical standard imposed by Apple which Google does not honor…

Completely understand and we definitely want to support more browsers including Safari.

The process for exporting chromium based extensions to safari is not super straightforward (HN Community please prove me wrong!), though glad to hear it's a priority

Safari is my current everyday browser, but anything that isn't based on almost anything modern that isn't tainted by the chrome should be fine.

Just like IE 6 I refuse to touch it if I can at all prevent it.

(Feel free to join in folks. We can do this, IE was much better entrenched at its worst.)

Understood. We should have specified that Zenfetch works on chromium based browsers which include Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Arc, Opera, etc.

Hear you on the safari request and we will definitely expedite that release

its the default browser on my phone especially when i open links from other apps, if that is not captured, then its not much use for me

Good to know. Sounds like you primarily want a way to save articles from your phone then?

If mobile saving is what you're interested in, we can likely get that shipped even faster :)

That's awesome! We haven't explored content discovery too much right now, since we're more focused on re-discovery of content you've already saved.

As a statistician by training, I appreciate how the traditional inference techniques were helpful way before LLMs became mainstream for these tasks :)

That's fair. We've considered a few other terms such as "personal AI," "browsing copilot," "personal knowledge assistant." Do any of these feel more intuitive?

Have been using futureme for a few years now. Getting a letter every January 1st is a nice way to understand my headspace from the previous year.

This coupled with my daily journal entries offers an interesting reflective process around the holiday season :)

There's a fundamental challenge in simply not knowing at the reading point in time whether this knowledge will be valuable in the future.

The reason read-it-later apps exist is because we want to buy the insurance policy that IF there is a future situation in which the information is useful, we have it saved somewhere to access it.

The reality is, even if you have saved it at some point, there's no guarantee you'll be able to remember the knowledge when you need it.

This is precisely the problem I'm building a solution for.
