About Resurf
What is Resurf?
Resurf is a personal context library for notes, links, images, and documents. It is fully local and private by default. Native apps are Mac, iPhone, and iPad, with a Chrome extension.
What Resurf does
Save notes, links, PDFs, images, audio, video, and code into one library. Search by words or meaning. Spaces keep references together around a project, topic, or idea. An inbox can keep a capture for later. Highlights and notes sit beside a source. AI summaries and Ask Your Library are opt-in and use your own AI key, or hand context to agents through MCP or the CLI on Mac. Data stays on the Mac, works offline, and can use optional iCloud sync. No Resurf account is required.
Who Resurf is for
Resurf is for someone who wants a local library of notes and files on a Mac, iPhone, or iPad. The Mac build is macOS 14.3 or later, for Apple Silicon and Intel. iPhone and iPad are described as free.
How Resurf works
Capture from Mac, Chrome, or iPhone into one library. Sort later in the inbox, or assign spaces and tags. Open articles, PDFs, images, audio, and video inside Resurf. Write notes with headings, lists, and code, saved as Markdown. Ask questions across saved context with your own AI key. The library stays on the Mac and works offline. Optional private sync uses your own iCloud.
