driftnet
From a reel to the repo
A post with no link? driftnet reads the caption, the comments and even what the video says, then finds the project it is about.
Catch the links before they drift away.
Drop links in your group chat. driftnet finds the real project, explains it, and keeps it searchable.
Your feed is a current.
Good finds float past once. You paste them somewhere "for later" and they are gone. driftnet is the net you leave in the water.
It reads the post so you don't have to.
Your folders, not ours
Each card lands in your own folder tree. Move one by hand and it stays there.
Your agents look here first
Claude Code, Cursor and Codex search the same catalogue over MCP before picking a tool.

Search by word, in Chinese too, or by meaning with a local model. Every card says what it is in your language.
Catches links from the chats you already use, the browser, and your agents.
Runs on your computer. Stays yours.
- No account
- One command starts it. Nothing to sign up for.
- Any model, or none
- Ollama, Claude, GPT, Gemini. Without one, your agent writes the summaries.
- One file to keep
- Everything sits in a single SQLite file, with one-click backups.
- Open source
- MIT licensed. Read every line it runs.
Start catching.
