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.


A long time ago I started using OneNote, which was great for many things including simply saving either a snippet of a page as an image or copy/paste the portion I wanted to save - it also included the URL of the page.
This had the benefit of making it searchable.
Today I’d recommend starting with something like Joplin or one of it’s competitors. I’m partial to Joplin for how it stores data (essentially files in a folder so it’s easy to copy/sync) and it’s cross-platform capability.
OneNote is stil my favorite note taking tool prior to putting something in a more permanent database. It is so easy to sync with coworkers and you can paste just about anything into it from another microsoft products keeps life simple. As long as sinpletons arent dumping screen shots into it then life is simple to convey thoughts / research.
