No VC money, no Exit: Your data & attention stays yours
Memex is funded without VC money or selling shares. Instead we are funded with a model called "Steward Ownership". This model ensures that the company can never be sold and our investors are rewarded with a capped profit share. This way we will never get the incentives to optimise our company for maximising growth & shareholder profits to the expense of your privacy, provider freedom or attention. More about our choice you find in this post.

⛅Backup and restore your data to any of your favorite cloud providers & Google Drive

⌨ Keyboard Shortcuts for everything
🗂Tab manager: add all open tabs to a collection or tag
