CurateIt

What is CurateIt?

CurateIt is a browser-based research and knowledge-management workspace designed as a personal or team second brain. It combines bookmark management, web clipping, highlights, annotations, collections, tags, full-text search, content extraction, and shareable curation. It can save more than links, including images, PDFs, code snippets, videos, and reusable AI prompts.

The extension supports major desktop browsers and keeps saved items organized as collections and tags. Auto-tagging helps file new material, while universal and full-text search can retrieve information from saved pages, browsing history, and supported third-party sources. Users can highlight webpages and PDFs, attach notes, capture video moments, or extract clean text with reading-time and word-count information.

How to Use CurateIt

1. Install the extension for a supported browser and create a workspace.
2. Import existing bookmarks or save a page, image, PDF, snippet, video, or prompt.
3. Add highlights, notes, tags, and the appropriate collection while reviewing the source.
4. Use auto-tags and full-text search to retrieve material later.
5. Create a public or private collection when research needs to be shared.
6. Review source ownership and permissions before publishing or redistributing saved content.
