I kept losing things I had read.
Not in the sense of forgetting them — I could usually remember that something said this well. The problem was that by the time I sat down to write, the sentence was gone. It lived on a page I had closed three weeks earlier, in a tab I would never find again, and the note I had made said "important" without saying important for what.
So I built the thing I wanted: highlight a passage on any page or PDF, and when you later open a draft, the passages that are topically close to what you are typing come back on their own. Insert one and the citation is already attached — page title, URL, and the exact spot in the original.
Three decisions people usually ask about:
No account. The library lives in your browser. There is no server holding your highlights, which also means I cannot read them. It is the only honest way I could build this.
Snapshots. When you highlight, Inkory keeps a copy of the surrounding text, not just the sentence. Pages get edited, paywalled or deleted; the quote and its context survive.
The AI part is bring-your-own-key. You paste an OpenAI-compatible endpoint and your own key, requests go straight from your browser to that provider. I do not resell model access, which is why the check can point at the exact sentence it disagrees with instead of writing a vague paragraph about "strengthening the argument".
Pricing, plainly: the reading side — highlighting, library, search, snapshots, every export format — is free permanently and needs no email. The writing side (writing desk, suggestions from your old highlights, AI check, Word import, OCR) is Pro with a 14-day full trial from install, no card. That is $3.99/month, less if you pay for a year.
One thing I would genuinely like to know: what do you do today when you need a quote you saved months ago? Curious whether other people have a system, or whether everyone is improvising like I was.
