Idea Footnote

Idea Footnote is an experimental local-first bookmarking and file-saving application designed to collect, organise, and store web-based content directly within local file systems. The application currently supports a range of features, including intelligent content capture for Instagram posts, videos, and carousels, alongside the ability to create boards and channels and archive diverse file types such as images, videos, PDFs, and documents. Users can optionally utilise locally hosted AI to generate tags, titles, and descriptions, enabling more effective search and retrieval across boards. Each board can be viewed through both a scrolling feed and a searchable canvas interface. The project is presently in a planning and refinement phase as we explore reliable cross-device synchronisation via iCloud and local folders, addressing outstanding issues related to saved content ahead of its forthcoming release.
