About Capd

Capd is a privacy-focused, native macOS application designed for individuals who want to efficiently save and organize digital content without relying on cloud services. It allows users to capture web pages, snippets of text, links, notes, and images directly onto their Mac, creating a personal library that remains entirely on their device. What sets Capd apart is its powerful full-text search capability, which indexes the content inside saved items, including text within images, making retrieval quick and effortless. Its open-source nature and no-accounts policy appeal to users prioritizing privacy and control over their data. Ideal for researchers, students, writers, and knowledge workers, Capd offers a seamless, clutter-free way to manage information without subscription fees or telemetry, ensuring user data stays local.
