Recol is a keyboard-first browser extension that actually works. We save things because we want to see them later, but standard tools just make us forget.
Built for people who live in their browser. No accounts, no data leaves your machine, and everything is open-source.
Most of us have hundreds of bookmarks we never look at. We save them and forget they exist because opening a new tab and searching through a messy list is too much friction.
Recol is a lightweight browser extension that stays out of your way and lets you save or find links using only your keyboard. There are no folders, no tags to manage, and no cloud syncing to worry about.
Everything is stored locally in your browser. You can export your data to JSON whenever you want, see your library stats, and search through years of saved links in milliseconds. No tracking, no accounts—just a tool that works.

Save a link or search your library with one shortcut. No new tabs, no context switching, and no distractions.
Find any saved link in milliseconds. It searches through titles and URLs the moment you start typing.
Export your entire library or import existing links at any time. Your data stays on your machine, always.
Track your reading habits and search performance directly in the popup. Local insights with zero tracking.
Your data never leaves your browser. Because there are no servers, there's no one watching what you save.
Forget about folder hierarchies. Tag things if you want, or just rely on the search. It works however you do.
