Browse and search your collections, open a saved link, look through your images or save to Muse from the iOS share sheet. Free, included with Muse. Most tools handle one kind of thing: folders for files, a bookmarks bar for links, Pinterest for images. Muse is the only one that keeps everything, links, images, screenshots, video and notes, in one searchable library. SEE IT. SAVE IT. Saving something from the internet should be easy. Muse collapses capture, filing and finding into one continuous motion, so keeping a good idea takes exactly as long as noticing it. LIVING BOOKMARKS Auto-cleaned title, favicon and key image for every saved link. Save any link too, with a full preview - not just a bare bookmark. YOUR LINKS, YOUR WAY Switch between cards or a list, whichever suits the moment. ONE SEARCH BAR. FIND EVERYTHING. Search the words inside your pictures, or type a colour. COLLECTIONS AND BOARDS Nest collections, and press and hold anything to file it. YOUR OWN TAGS Tag anything yourself, right alongside what the AI already added. NOTES ON ITEMS A free-text note field, separate from title and tags. MATCHING COLOUR BACKDROP The background behind an open image matches its own colours. AND MUCH MORE Reads the text inside images. Saves videos, not just their links. Nests collections as deep as you like. Finds anything by its colour. Stars your favourites. Needs no account, ever. YOUR OWN VISUAL BOOKMARK MANAGER. Personal, private, and packed with everything you need. Your library travels through your own iCloud, and nothing reaches a server of ours. A home for your inspiration. Muse for Mac: AI Visual Bookmark Manager for Mac. Collect, organise & reference your links, images, videos across all platforms, in one place.
