DoubleMemory – more efficient local-first read-it-later app

DoubleMemory started as an experiment to see if I can somehow automatically save all double cmd + c, as I often do instinctively, so I don't need extensions to save links and text into an app, and avoiding flooding the capture history as regular clipboard managers does. My motivation was not to create a read-it-later app, yet it evolved into this unique yet cohesive form of a read-it-later + bookmarking organizer + clipboard manager + card based note-taking app over the last 6 months. It also launches from the menu bar with a shortcut and navigates with keyboard shortcuts. My favorite part…

In plain words

DoubleMemory is a local-first read-it-later app that captures content through double-copy shortcuts, eliminating the need for browser extensions. It combines read-it-later, bookmarking, clipboard management, and card-based note-taking in a single application. Content displays as preview cards in a mood board layout rather than lists. The app launches from the menu bar with keyboard navigation and includes an iOS companion for swiping through saved articles.

From the sources

DoubleMemory is a local-first bookmarking and read-it-later app for Mac and iOS. Capture links, notes, and web memories with shortcuts, search, tags, and iCloud sync.

Perhaps you've double-pressed ⌘ C without realizing it—hoping your Mac might remember better. Or maybe you're a tab hoarder 👀 , juggling dozens of open pages just to lose track anyway. Yet saving and recalling information still feels like a chore—lost links, forgotten contexts, disrupted flow. Most tools follow the same recipes: browser-based, server-connected, Internet required, registration needed, extensions hooked. To make the business work, they sell your data to "partners" for profit—yet still somehow fold 💣 under VC schedules. A way that is default-alive 🖖 , "incredible journey" -proof, and private at its core. A way that's not only 10x more efficient but also elegant and…from doublememory.com

  • A keyboard-centric clipboard history app for macOS2024 · clipbook.app · ▲141

    Hey HN, As a Software Engineer, I frequently copy and paste content. The fact that macOS clipboard buffer can keep only one item is very frustrating. It’s very annoying to copy → switch app → paste → switch app → copy → switch app → paste, and so on. Losing items I copied hours ago and having to find and copy them again is a waste of time. I tried many third-party clipboard managers like Alfred, Raycast, Paste, Maccy, etc. While great, they didn't fully meet my needs. As a developer, my requirements are: 1. Keyboard-centric operation to avoid using the mouse. I don’t want to waste my time…

    Hey HN, cofounder of Readwise here. We've been working on this cross-platform reader app for about 2 years, excited to finally share it in public beta.

  • I made a Note-Taking app for people who keep texting themselves2024 · strflow.app · ▲219

    This project began when I realized that despite trying many fantastic note-taking apps, I often defaulted to dumping notes into chat apps like Slack or iMessage. I wanted to bring that effortless “text yourself” note-taking experience to a dedicated note-taking app. Originally developed as a macOS app, Strflow is now also available for iOS. Strflow is designed to make note-taking as quick and intuitive as possible, centered around a chronological timeline UI. Here are some of its features: * Tag system * Rich editor with text formatting, images, and note linking * Global shortcuts for quick…

  • Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

    We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
