The good bits

1. 01

   Keyboard first

   ⌘K to search, J and K to move, E to file. You can get through a week of saves without touching the trackpad.

2. 02

   Code stays code

   Paste a snippet, mark its language and it gets the right highlighting, with the source link kept next to it. Copy is one click.

3. 03

   Your library in your editor

   Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor over MCP and it can search your library and save into it. Savepad itself never calls a model.

4. 04

   Export whenever

   Everything comes out as JSON, CSV, HTML or Markdown, files included. Do whatever you want with it.

• Code Snippets with the right coat of paint
• Web pages The live page, a reading copy, or your snapshot
• Notes A proper editor, on everything you save
• Documents and other files CSVs as tables, Markdown rendered, everything else kept safe
• PDFs Opens on the page that matched
• Video Links that don't load YouTube until you press play

Use cases

• Knowledge base: PDFs, docs, notes and links in one search box.
• Bookmark manager: Oh look, another bookmark manager. Or is it?
• Read later: Give some TLC to that reading list you never got to
