Gather - Save it once, never lose it again

by•
Easily find any design references! Gather is your second brain for visual inspiration — save screenshots, photos, and links, then search them the way you'd describe them to a friend: "that muted retro car ad."

Hey Product Hunt, I built Gather to make it easy to find design references I was bookmarking on Twitter

For a long time, I saved design references in my Twitter bookmarks. It was a pain to find the one I wanted whenever I needed a reference for a friend, or to prove a point, or now, to give to an AI as a design reference.

What pushed me to create it was when I started copying it from Twitter, pasting on Claude Code and then explaining the image to the AI so that it can understand what I want from a design perspective. So I thought "there must be an way to make this automatic and easier"

So I built Gather, a website aimed at having references from multiple places at the same time where it's easy to add and easy to find them. With the chrome extension, it's a matter of right clicking on a reference, saving to Gather, and then later when you want to find it just talk to it "website with animation skills" and there you go, from there you can download it, copy it or copy a prompt for your AI.

Free tier is 50 references forever, Pro is $4/mo. It's the tool I now use daily to save all my references.

Share how you save your design references today and what's your workflow.

Congrats on the launch! I'm also building a bookmarking tool (mostly going in a different direction, the MyMind approach is not for me) so it's interesting seeing the pain points that drove others to pursue their own solution. It feels like you could talk a bit more about the AI handover stuff on your site. Vibe coders are an obvious audience, but there are other segments who would find it useful, e.g. ComfyUI users, or regular designers using solutions like Recraft or Arrow, or leveraging nanobana or the like to ideate.

Congrats on the launch, I'm constantly saving inspiration in X bookmarks (much like you!) and Notion pages but having it all in one central place (and visual, of course, I'm a designer at heart) will be such a gamechanger.

I would love to know what plans you have to make this even more awesome, maybe an MCP to pull references into Claude?

Thanks @seandotexe! Yes, I was thinking about creating an MCP or a CLI you can use in any of those AI tools, which would make it even easier to use

I have using My mind for years, this look very similar. I want to know if there any advantage of swtching and also is there any app for mac?

Hey @worklab, being honest with you, if you have been using MyMind for years, I would suggest you keep using it. Gather has pretty much the same functionalities as MyMind, but with a better handoff to AI tools like Claude Code. In other words, if you attach references to your AI tools to guide them in a better direction, Gather is a better tool for that.

Also, feel free to try the Gather free tier, you can upload 50 references for free and get a feeling of the app

I probably spend more time searching for old design references than collecting them 😄 Love the idea of turning a pile of bookmarks into something actually searchable. Congrats on the launch!
