Overview

Chaos in your bookmarks? Can't find what you want? They end up gathering dust? Or you don't even try and end up with 100s of open tabs?

Faro is made to fix that! It's the simplest way to save & keep track of pages.
With it, even thousands of saves don't get overwhelming.

When saving, you highlight a sentence to act as a tagline. It helps you remember what the page is about and why you saved it.
If unsure - just save whatever sentence you're reading.

All saves appear on your dashboard. They come most-recent-first by default, so you don't forget what you recently saved. You can pick up your reading where you left off - no need for a separate reading list. You can also pin & archive to further arrange it.

Organize them with tags. Since you're reminded what you saved and why, you can do it later. It makes your saves much easier to manage than bookmarks. Faro supports nested tags (eg: recipes/vegan), so combines the best of tags and folders.

Clicking a save takes you right back to your highlight - especially useful for longer articles.

Also:
➣ export to bookmarks to keep them if you uninstall Faro
➣ copy links to highlights and share them or paste into Notion, Obsidian, etc.

ℹ️ About your data:
When installing you can read: "it can read and change all your data on all websites"
The only information that ever gets uploaded (when signed in) when you use it to save:
➣ Open page address
➣ Saved highlight/quote - what's visible in the sidebar
➣ Timestamp
➣ Debug info e.g. errors

The extension also keeps track the currently open tab for each window - to update the sidebar as you navigate - but doesn't save or upload that data.
