Get the most out of Finds

Getting started

Finds has two parts: a browser extension that saves pages, and a library at app.usefinds.com where you browse them. Both use the same account.

1. Get an invite. Finds is invite-only while it’s in beta. Join the early access list and we’ll email you an invite.
2. Create your account from the invite email, with Google or an email and password.
3. Add the extension for Chrome, Firefox or Edge from the Download page, and sign in.
4. Bring your bookmarks (optional). The welcome steps can import them from your browser or a file.

Saving pages

Every page you save keeps its real cover, title and description, so your library looks like the web, not a list of links.

From your browser

• Click the Finds icon in the toolbar. Save adds the page straight away; the arrow next to it opens the full form, with folders, tags, a note and Read later.
• Press ⌘⇧S on a Mac, or Ctrl+Shift+S on Windows and Linux.
• Right-click anywhere on a page and choose Save page to Finds.

When the page you’re on is already saved, the Finds icon shows a small check.

In the library

Use Add link at the top of the library and paste any address. Finds reads the page’s cover and details for you.

From your phone

• iPhone and iPad: open app.usefinds.com in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. To save pages from Safari, use the bookmarklet in Settings → Import & export.
• Android: open app.usefinds.com in Chrome, tap ⋮, then Add to Home screen. Finds then appears in the Share menu of any app.

Importing

Go to Settings → Import & export. Finds imports bookmark files from Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge, and exports from Raindrop and Pocket (HTML or CSV). Your folders come along too.

Organising

Folders

Folders work like moodboards: each one shows its newest covers on Home. A find can sit in several folders at once. Drag finds onto a folder in the sidebar to move them, or hold ⌥ Option (Alt on Windows) while dragging to copy instead.

Tags

Add tags when you save, or later from a find’s details. Every tag gets its own page in the sidebar.

Unsorted and Read later

• Unsorted holds everything that isn’t in a folder yet.
• Read later is for pages you mean to come back to. Opening a find takes it off the list.

Smart filters

Articles, Videos, Socials and Documents fill themselves in, based on what each page says it is.

Selecting several finds

Tick a find’s checkbox, then Shift-click another to select everything between. You can then add them to a folder, move them, copy their links or move them to Trash.

Finding things

Press ⌘K or / anywhere in the library to search. Finds looks through titles, addresses, descriptions, notes, tags and folder names.

• Type # and a tag to see only that tag.
• Press ⌘↵ to see every result on its own page.
• With Pro, search by meaning finds pages that match what you mean, even when the words differ.

Sharing

Open a folder and choose Share.

• Anyone with the link can view the folder on a clean public page, without signing in.
• Invite people by email. They can view the folder and save its links to their own library.

The free plan includes 3 folders with a public link. Email invites are unlimited on every plan. Editing a folder together is coming soon.

Finds Pro

Pro removes the limits and adds tools that keep a big library easy to use. See Pricing for the full list.

• Unlimited folders and public links.
• Email reminders for Read later.
• AI tag suggestions and one-line summaries.
• Search by meaning, and readable saved copies of pages.
• Tidy up: suggested folders for everything in Unsorted.

Start a 14-day trial from Settings → Plan & billing. It needs no card, and when it ends you’re back on Free unless you subscribe. Payments, invoices and cancelling are handled by Paddle, from the same page.

Your account

• Two-factor sign-in: turn it on in Settings → Profile, with any authenticator app. Keep your backup codes somewhere safe.
• Devices: Settings shows where you’re signed in, including the extension, and lets you sign out of any of them.
• Trash keeps deleted finds for 60 days, so you can put them back.
• Broken links: Finds checks your links every week and flags pages that have gone.
• Export: download your whole library as a file from Settings → Import & export.
• Delete your account from Settings → Profile. Everything is removed.

Privacy

• No ads, and your links are never sold.
• The extension only sends Finds the pages you choose to save. The saved check on the toolbar is matched by your browser, so Finds never sees your browsing history.
• Covers and icons load through Finds, so the sites you’ve saved don’t see who’s looking.

The privacy policy has the details.
