WebSatchel - Your personal web archive! WebSatchel מאת

WebSatchel allows users to save and store copies of webpages onto the cloud so you can access them later. Think of WebSatchel like bookmarking on steroids. We aim to create a revolutionary and modern take on bookmarking pages so that the content you care about is only a few clicks away and never disappears.

Unlike traditional bookmarking WebSatchel does not save just the link to a particular webpage, instead, it creates a full copy of the webpage allowing the user to have permanent access to the information in the exact format that it was saved. You no longer need to worry about your bookmark links being broken or seeing the “404 page not found” error.

The purpose of WebSatchel is to allow users to create a personal internet knowledge base. It's a place where you can copy anything you feel is important or has any kind of value and grow it over time. It should be viewed as a companion to your browsing experience. It’s more than just an alternative to bookmarking we want you to create your own book.

Once a page has been saved it can be viewed on the WebSatchel website under the “My Satchel” tab (Note: you must be logged in to see this tab and to save pages. Creating an account is free).

Sometimes when you bookmark something, the information is moved rather than deleted. It can be very frustrating navigating an entirely new layout to find that one key piece of information. Other times you might want to save a temporary page such as a confirmation order with an order number or a receipt. Regular bookmarks won't be able to help you here since access to the page is temporary, but with WebSatchel you need not worry about your bookmarks breaking.

Certain things don’t make sense to bookmark. Take an email for example. Bookmarking an email doesn’t make sense. You can spend time looking through your entire inbox for the email that you care about, or you could just WebSatchel it and find it much quicker when searching through your satchel.


There is also a strong emphasis on searching/organization. WebSatchel indexes every word on the page you save regardless if you save the whole page or just the link. This makes searching for your saved pages easy using our built-in search engine because you need not remember the title of a page - just any single relevant word or phrase would do. Imagine having hundreds of bookmarks and no easy way to navigate through them. WebSatchel solves this problem with ease.

Tags are used for more efficient organization once your satchel gets up to a few hundred pages. Also, since the link version still indexes every word on the saved webpage this makes it superior to regular bookmarking even though you are only saving the link since regular bookmarking indexes nothing beyond the title of the page.

Apart from just allowing users to save pages WebSatchel also allows you to save the links to all your open tabs into a collection that can be opened back up on any device. Even if only a link is saved, all the text is still indexed just like it would be if the entire page was saved. This is a superior option to conventional bookmarking which does not index every word on the page and instead only indexes the page’s title. This makes searching for a particular saved link much easier.

WebSatchel is also designed for users to save lots of web pages. Free users get 1 gigabyte of storage which is enough space to save hundreds of average webpages so don’t be shy about saving any webpage that might be of any use to you. Always better to be safe than sorry after all. Additionally, WebSatchel allows you to change the pages you save by highlighting the information that is most important to you. This makes finding the information even easier on the page you save.

We encrypt all saved pages. The only person who can access your saved pages is YOU.

WebSatchel is constantly improving and finding more ways to make saving pages an easier and smoother experience. New updates are scheduled in the coming months.
