I'm Abhishek I built Rekoll, which launches here on Saturday. But this thread isn't about the product, it's about the problem I kept hitting and want to know if others hit it too.
Mine was a post about pricing experiments. I read it, I remember the argument clearly something about anchoring on the middle tier. I had saved it. And six weeks later I could not find it, because the only thing I remembered was the idea, and the only things a bookmark stores are a title and a URL. Neither of those contained the word "anchoring". Twenty minutes gone re-finding something I had already found.
That gap is what interests me. A bookmark records where a thing was, not what it said. So the search you actually run later "the one about X" is the one search your browser can't answer.
Two things I'd like to hear from people here:
Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Abhishek, and I built Rekoll. Here's the pitch, fast.
You don't have a tab problem. You have a "where did I read that" problem. You saved the link. Six weeks later all you remember is the argument — not the title, not the site, nothing you can type into a search box. So you spend twenty minutes re-finding something you already found.
Rekoll does two things about that.
1. It summarizes what you read, on your own machine. Not our server. The model runs locally inside the extension, so article text never leaves your laptop. Test it in four seconds: turn your wifi off and summarize something. It still works. Try that with any other AI reading tool.
2. It makes everything you save findable. Auto-tagged collections, searchable library, full export any time. It reads more than articles too — PDFs, word files, Google Docs, and Office files on SharePoint or OneDrive.
Now the price, because it's the real argument.
Readwise Reader — where a lot of you went when Pocket died — is $9.99/month billed annually. That's $359.64 over three years. Recall is $360. Sider is $360. Every mainstream AI summarizer passes $29 inside three months and then never stops.
Rekoll lifetime is $29. Once. Unlimited library, summaries that never leave your machine, works offline, nothing renews. $29 is the founding price and it goes to $49 next year — that's published on the pricing page, not a launch-day device, and anyone who buys now is price-locked.
On Pocket: it had ten years, Mozilla behind it, and millions of users, and it shut down in July 2025. That's what renting your reading looks like. If I disappear tomorrow, your copy keeps working offline with full export.
14-day refund on either paid plan, no reason needed. And the free tier is genuinely free forever — unlimited summarizing, 100-item library.
Being straight about the limits: semantic search, saved page copies, focus mode and audio are on the $79/year Cloud plan, not the $29 one. Semantic search syncs your summary and link, never page content. Audio needs a network — no offline listening.

I'm here all day — ask me the hard stuff about the on-device model. And tell me: what's the last thing you knew you'd read and couldn't find again?
