Right now, I have a mess of bookmarks, open tabs, and things saved haphazardly in different apps. I want a system where I can organize it all and also keep it reasonably private. Open to all suggestions, whether that’s an app or a tool or a personal trick or some completely different way of interacting with the internet.


Thank you so much for taking the time to put all of this together! You’re awesome.
I think for my purposes, Obsidian is probably private enough (I don’t share my PC with anyone), but I am interested in exploring more FOSS stuff. I don’t really mind a lack of features/plugins or a dated interface at the moment. My bigger concern is that CherryTree and a lot of other indie FOSS stuff seem geared toward people who are more tech-savvy than I am (the website and download pages seem figure-out-able for me with a little work, but don’t exactly have great UX for non-techies). I’m not a developer or IT person, just a regular office worker type who has become very frustrated with “AI” and big tech companies, but I’m trying to learn more about how things work anyway. I might end up trying both Obsidian and CherryTree.
