Vertex

Your personal annotation and archive engine.

Vertex — Your personal web archive The web is ephemeral. Pages change, content gets edited, removed at will. Vertex lets you annotate and archive any URL, building your own permanent record of the web as you experienced it. How it works 1. Visit any page and press Alt+Shift+V (or right-click and select "Add Vertex") 2. Add a note explaining why this page matters to you 3. Enable "Archive content" to capture a complete snapshot of the page 4. Continue browsing — previously annotated links now show a blue dot indicator Your personal archive.org When you archive a page with Vertex, we capture the complete content as HTML — not just a screenshot, but the full page with text, images, and formatting preserved exactly as you saw it. Unlike screenshots, archived pages remain searchable and readable. Unlike bookmarks, they survive even when the original disappears. Hold the record Public figures delete tweets. News sites quietly edit articles. Official statements vanish. The current solution — haphazard screenshots — is disorganized and easily dismissed as fabricated. Vertex gives you verifiable captures: complete page archives with timestamps, organized and searchable. Whether you're a researcher tracking policy changes, a journalist documenting sources, or a citizen keeping public statements on record — your archive, your proof, your data. Key features - Annotate any URL with personal notes - Full-page MHTML archives preserve content exactly as published - Blue dot indicators show annotated links as you browse - Dashboard to browse, search, and organize your annotations - Graph visualization shows connections between your saved pages - Keyboard shortcuts for fast annotation (Alt+Shift+V) - Create collections (set) of your annotations, share these sets - Create set-unions with collaborators Privacy-first design Vertex accounts are anonymous by default. No email address, phone number, or personal information required — just choose an alias and start annotating. We only store URLs you explicitly choose to annotate; your general browsing activity is never tracked or recorded. Use cases - Archiving: Preserve pages before they change or disappear - Accountability: Document public statements with complete page captures - Research: Track sources across sessions with notes and archives - Learning: Build a personal knowledge graph of tutorials and documentation - Reading lists: Save articles with context on why they matter Dashboard Access your annotations at vertexapp.io. Browse by domain, search across all your notes, view your annotation graph, and retrieve archived snapshots of pages — even ones that no longer exist. Open and simple No ads. No tracking. No algorithmic feeds. Just your archive, under your control.
