Stash
Stash Library · Mac, iPhone & iPad

Save it with one key. Stash takes it from there.

The bookmark app for web pages, videos and images. And it keeps track: what’s next in your queue, what you’ve opened, what you’re done with, and what just went on sale.

Stash on the Mac: folders and saved views down the left, saved pages, videos and pictures on the right, each with its site, its folder, its tags and, on a shopping item, its price Stash on iPhone showing the same saved links
Bring up the sidebar and pin it, save a page with one key, line it up, then open the full Library. Twenty seconds, no sound.
Saving is the easy part

If it’s on your screen, it’s one move from Stash.

A page, a video, a picture, a whole window of tabs. However you found it, there’s a quick way in.

One library, three kinds

Everything you save, in one place.

Pages, videos and pictures share your folders and tags. Each has a tab of its own when you only want that kind.

Every page with its site, folder and tags, and on a shopping list, its price.
The Web tab in Stash: saved pages with their site, folder, tags and, for shopping items, the price and whether it dropped
Every video with its thumbnail and length. They play right inside Stash and pick up where you stopped, to the second.
The Videos tab in Stash: every saved video with its thumbnail, length and how far you got, and nothing that is not a video
Pictures and screen clips as a contact sheet, in the same folders and tags as everything else.
The Images tab in Stash: a contact sheet of saved pictures, each with its folder
  • Folders and tags, nested as deep as you like
  • A note on anything
  • Whole browser windows saved as sessions
  • Duplicates caught, dead links found
  • A Trash, and ⌘Z for everything
  • Snooze, or a reminder at a time
  • Five looks, light and dark
And so much more

A bookmark app that pays attention.

Most bookmarks get saved and forgotten. In Stash, everything you save moves along until you’re done with it. Here’s one page on its way through.

  1. 1Save itFound something worth keeping? Save it in a moment and pick a folder.
  2. 2Line it upAdd it to your queue: a short list of what you’ll read or watch next.
  3. 3Open itStash notices you’ve read it. The blue “new” dot goes, so what you haven’t opened stands out.
  4. 4Put it awayFinished? Archive it. It’s out of your way, but never deleted: search still finds it.
The queue

One queue for everything you want to get to next.

Articles and videos wait together in one list, in the order you choose, and it’s easy to change your mind. Add anything with one key, move it up or down with a click, or take it off again. Taking it off the queue never deletes it from your library.

  • Every item has its own ↑ ↓ and ✕ buttons, or use ⌥↑ ⌥↓ to reorder from the keyboard
  • Clear the whole queue in one go when you want a fresh start
  • Videos play right inside Stash; pages open in your browser
  • The Videos and Web tabs narrow it to just watching or just reading
The Queue in Stash: articles and videos together in one numbered list, each with its own buttons to move it up, move it down or take it off
Seen and archived

Finished with it? Archive it, don’t lose it.

Press a and a link folds away under Archived. It stays in its folder and every search still finds it, so your lists show what’s left and your library keeps everything.

  • Opened links are marked seen by themselves. No button to press
  • It keeps count, so what you saved and never opened is one view away
  • Archive a whole selection at once, or a new video straight from triage
A Read Later folder in Stash: one unread link at the top, and three finished ones dimmed and folded under Archived
Channels you follow

Your YouTube channels, as a to-do list instead of a feed.

Follow a channel by pasting its address, or straight from one of its videos. From then on its new uploads collect in one list, Videos to Triage, with a count beside each channel in the sidebar. Go through it whenever you like and decide on each video, or on the whole lot at once. When the list is empty, you’re caught up.

  • Keep a video and it’s saved to that channel’s folder, or put straight into your queue
  • One key per decision: q queue, m file, t tag, a archive, d skip. Or Save all and Skip all
  • Uses a free YouTube key that you set up once. Here’s how
Videos to Triage in Stash: the sidebar lists the two followed channels, each with 3 new videos, and the list beside it shows the new uploads waiting to be kept or skipped
Shopping lists, if you want them

Saving up for something? It watches the price.

Stash is a bookmark app first, so this stays out of the way until you ask for it. Call a folder Shopping, or switch on Shopping list from any folder’s menu, and the links in it get prices. Stash checks them again about once a week, shows the old price beside the new one when something gets cheaper, and gathers everything that did under Price drops, on your Mac, iPhone and iPad.

  • Deals with a deadline count down. Stash reads the end date off the store’s page when the store lists one, as bundle stores usually do, and you can type a date in when it doesn’t. “Ends in 3 days” stands out as it gets close
  • Must have, Want and Someday, each with a running total
  • No shopping folder, no prices: you’ll never see any of it
A shopping list in Stash: prices, drops shown beside the old price, and a countdown on deals that end
Filing that does itself

It knows what you already own.

Keep a folder of notes, one for each thing you own: your camera, your Dutch oven, your standing desk. Point Stash at it once. From then on, whenever you save something about one of those things, a review, a tutorial, a recipe, Stash tags it with the thing itself. Everything about your Dutch oven ends up together, however long ago you saved it.

  • Any folder of Markdown notes: from Obsidian, or anywhere else
  • It asks before trusting a name that could mean something else, and remembers your answer
  • Leave the folder unset and none of this appears

Works with your AI app

Ask your AI what’s in your Stash.

Turn on one switch and your AI app can search your library, see your queue and check your shopping list. Stash speaks MCP, the open standard for connecting AI apps to your own tools, so it works with AI apps on your Mac that support it: Claude, ChatGPT’s Mac app, Cursor, VS Code, Raycast and more. Settings sets up Claude in one click.

  • Saving and filing only if you allow it. Nothing can ever be deleted
  • Off until you turn it on, and only for apps on this Mac you give the key to. Websites, including the browser versions of these apps, can’t reach it

What have I saved about bread that I still haven’t opened?

Two things in Cooking › Bread: the Wikipedia article on Sourdough, and a picture you saved, Sourdough, second attempt.

Anything on my shopping list get cheaper?

Four things. The biggest drop is the Compact Travel Tripod, now $149, down from $199.

Built for the keyboard

Every action has a key.

81 of them, and you never have to learn one: press ? for the list, or ⌘K and type what you want done. The ones that work from anywhere on your Mac are yours to change.

On the Mac, two ways

A sidebar while you browse. A full app when you sort.

Stash docks to the edge of the screen beside your browser and moves the browser over to make room. Pin it to keep it open, or let it slide away when you’re done; ⌃⌘L brings it back from any app. When you want room to sort, ⌘L opens the same library as a full window, like any other app.

Docked beside your browser. Save, find and open things without leaving the page you’re on.

Or as a full window. Room to sort, tag, archive and work through your queue.
  • Works with Safari and Chrome, reading only the address and title of the tab you’re on
iPhone and iPad

Your library in your pocket, too.

On iPhone and iPad, Stash works alongside Stash on your Mac: the same library, kept in step through your own iCloud. Share anything into it from Safari, YouTube or any app, and it lands in the folder you pick.

  • The same folders, tags, queue and shopping lists you set up on the Mac
  • iPad gets a layout of its own, not a stretched phone
  • Widgets for your Home Screen: your queue, or any folder, tag or smart collection, paged with the arrows
Stash on iPhone: the same library Stash on iPhone: a shopping list with prices
Stash on iPad, with a layout of its own: folders, the list and the details side by side
Why I made Stash

I bet you have more than one place where you save things. A bookmarks folder full of articles, a "Watch Later" list on YouTube, a camera roll of screenshots you promised yourself you'd look at again.

Mine held all of that and more: guitar tones, synth tutorials (hundreds of them), recipes, things I might buy someday. Over the years I tried, and paid for, more bookmark apps than I'd like to admit. Many of them have fantastic features, but I still wanted more, and I still needed a different app for each kind of thing I saved: one for articles, another for videos, something else for pictures.

So I built the one I wanted. One place for web pages, videos and pictures, with a queue for what I want to get to next, an archive for what I've finished, and a library that remembers what I've already seen.

That's Stash. I use it every day, and I hope you will too.

Your links, on your Mac, in a file you can read.

Stash keeps your library on your own machine as plain, readable JSON. No account to make, and no server in the middle. What goes out is the pages Stash fetches to get you a title and a price, and, only if you connect one, what you ask your AI app about. If you ever stop using Stash, your links are still right there.
