Research That Remembers

Capture web pages with permanent snapshots, annotate across sources, connect ideas bidirectionally, and export your research anywhereβ€”all without being locked into another platform.

Today's Tools Fail at Serious Research

For researchers, journalists, and knowledge workers who need more than bookmarks

πŸ”—

Bookmarks Disappear

Websites change, go offline, or get paywalled. Your carefully curated research library becomes a graveyard of dead links.

πŸ“

Annotations Are Scattered

Highlighting in one place, notes in another, connections nowhere. Context is lost.

πŸ“

Organization Is Rigid

Tools force you into "folders" or "notebooks" when your research naturally belongs in multiple places at once.

πŸ”’

You're Locked In

Export is an afterthought. Your knowledge lives in someone else's walled garden.

✍️

Research Isn't Writing

You need a space to collect and think before you publish. Most tools force you to choose: either a clipping tool or a publishing platform.

πŸ’‘

Brilliant Insights Trapped

Research that's hard to find, impossible to connect, and lost when platforms change.

A Research Environment, Not a Platform

Built on four core principles that respect how you actually think and work

Principle 1

Capture Everything, Forever

  • βœ“Permanent snapshots preserve web pages as they were when you saved themβ€”no more broken links
  • βœ“Version tracking shows how content evolves over time (critical for journalists tracking changing narratives)
  • βœ“Multiple capture modes: screenshot, reader view, full HTML, OCR text
  • βœ“Hot/cold storage strategy keeps recent research instantly accessible while archiving older captures cost-effectively

Principle 2

Annotate With Context

  • βœ“Cross-source highlighting with color-coded annotations that preserve exact context
  • βœ“Comments and discussions on any item or collection
  • βœ“Inline annotations that stay attached to the source material
  • βœ“Per-collection notes explain why an item belongs in each collection

Principle 3

Connect, Don't Categorize

  • βœ“Bidirectional links (Obsidian-style) create a knowledge graph, not just folders
  • βœ“Items live in multiple collections without duplicationβ€”your holiday recipe can be in "Italian Cuisine," "Favorites," and "Holiday 2025" simultaneously
  • βœ“Nested collections organize at any level of granularity
  • βœ“Smart collections automatically update based on tags, dates, or custom criteria

Principle 4

Export First, Lock-In Never

  • βœ“Export to anywhere: Google Docs, Markdown, JSON, HTML
  • βœ“API access for custom integrations
  • βœ“Data portability as a core feature, not an afterthought
  • βœ“Privacy-focused: Your research, your control

What Makes Cirro Different

πŸ”„

Version Tracking = Our Moat

No other bookmarking tool tracks how web pages change over time. For journalists tracking evolving stories, researchers citing sources, or legal professionals documenting evidence, this is critical.

Use case: Save an article about a political claim. Three months later, the article gets silently edited. Cirro shows you both versions with timestamps.

πŸ”—

Bidirectional Links = Knowledge Graph

While Raindrop.io gives you folders and tags, Cirro creates a knowledge graph. Connect related items bidirectionally, see context in both directions, discover unexpected connections.

Use case: Link a research paper to related articles, blog posts, and your own notes. See all connections from any starting point. Your research becomes a living network, not a dead archive.

πŸ“š

Items in Multiple Collections = Flexible Thinking

Your recipe for "Grandma's Lasagna" belongs in "Italian Recipes," "Family Favorites," "Holiday 2025 Menu," and "Public Collection." Traditional tools make you choose one location or create duplicates. Cirro lets items exist in multiple collections simultaneously.

Use case: A research paper about climate policy belongs in your "Climate Research" collection, your "Economics" collection, and your "Public Resources" collection. One item, multiple contexts, no duplication.

πŸ’Ύ

Hot/Cold Storage = Cost-Effective Permanence

Recent captures (30 days) live in hot storage for instant access. Older captures move to cold storage at 1/10th the cost. You get permanent archival without the premium price tag.

Business benefit: Sustainable unit economics even for power users with 10,000+ saved items.

Built for Deep Thinkers

Whether you're building literature reviews, tracking evolving stories, or curating knowledge

πŸŽ“

Academic Researchers

Building extensive literature reviews with hundreds of sources. Track citations, preserve exact quotes, maintain context.

πŸ“°

Investigative Journalists

Tracking stories that develop over weeks or months. Preserve evidence as it was when discovered. Multiple versions of the same URL.

πŸ“š

Professional Collectors

Saving hundreds to thousands of items with deep annotations. Building personal knowledge bases for reference and discovery.

✍️

Writers & Creators

Research-heavy writing that requires extensive source material. Keep research and writing separate but connected.

Research Infrastructure for the Knowledge Economy

We're building the tool that journalists use to track evolving stories, researchers use to build literature reviews, and writers use to organize sources for long-form work.

We're not building another platform. We're building better research tools.
