What is your process/stack for "saving for later"

Like many here, I have a habit of tab hoarding. I also have what feels like a gazzilion interests. I often save things in tabs. It might be an image of a mobile app i like and might want to reference. It might be an article on some economic policy that i want to read about. it might be random businesses i've come across and want to revisit later.

It can mostly be categorised as

- work (written text, video, audio etc) - personal interests (health, hobbies, things i want to learn) - random/misc - history, random things i may just reference once

I previously just used to save everything to pocket or a bookmark and in a folder. I then moved to instapaper and then matter. I'm now trying

https://fabric.so/home - articles/websites/ blogs etc

https://www.cosmos.so/ - images

my screenshots are still saved in a screenshot folder.

I am curious to know if anyone has found an effective method of saving for later. Aware that this is very personal and depends on the individual but any ideas on this would be welcome!

Readwise, or if I think the set of tabs open is important, just save them to Obsidian with TabCopy or similar.

I made this (and have posted on HN about it a few times) specifically for a lot of the reasons you mentioned: https://eyeball.wtf

Would love your feedback

Thanks - will give this a try - looks great and love the name. Not having a browser extension is a dealbreaker as I mostly browse on web vs phone.

I will download anyway and feedback with thoughts.
