About Dewey

Dewey is a niche tool aimed at one specific problem: saving and organising bookmarks from social platforms. It ingests from X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Threads, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, Mastodon, Substack, and Truth Social, and puts them in a unified library with AI auto-tagging and nested folders. Browser extension (Chrome) and web app only, no native mobile. Pricing: Free (manual sync, one account), Pro at $10/mo monthly or $7.50/mo annually, Lifetime at $225, and an $8.50 one-off 'Export Pass' that unlocks the export feature for 48 hours without a full subscription.

About Keep

Keep is a save-anywhere tool built around one idea: everything you capture should be available as clean markdown that an AI agent can read. Articles, tweets, YouTube videos with transcripts, GitHub stars, newsletters, RSS, and plain URLs all land in the same searchable library. People read their library in a clean in-app feed. Agents read it through the API, CLI, MCP server, and Claude Code skill, so Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other tools can work against the library directly. Auto-sync pulls from RSS, YouTube, X bookmarks, GitHub stars, and newsletter inboxes on a schedule, so the library stays current without manual work. Semantic search runs across everything you've saved.
