Hey guys, Deep here. I’m a design engineer and maker of Resurf. I save a lot of things while working. Inspiration, articles, screenshots, random ideas. They ended up scattered across apps, and I rarely came back to them. So I built Resurf for myself. It’s a personal context app for things you like, care about, and work on. Capture quickly: notes, links, PDFs, images, videos, and voice memos. Organize later: spaces, tags, and stacks. Search when you need something. Use that context with AI: ask your library inside Resurf, or hand it off to your AI tools through MCP and CLI. I’ve shared earlier versions on Reddit, and the feedback helped shape the app. It’s now fully native on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Your library lives locally, with optional private iCloud sync. Free to try on Mac. Free on iPhone and iPad. One-time purchase for unlimited Mac use. Still polishing the small details. Would love to hear your thoughts and what you’d use it for 🙂

I use this app every single day, and couldn't go back. It permanently lives in my menu bar, and I store every single bit of inspiration I find! Whenever I'm designing anything, the first place I start is my Resurf library. Thanks for making this! 🙌🏻
