Written summaries
Keep an image, an article or a whole site and Cairn reads the subject matter, then hands you a short brief.
Reading…
Clever bookmarks
Your keep arranges and shows everything you put in it, in the most useful and least fussy way it can.
PDF digests
Cairn reads the PDFs you keep, adds tags of its own and builds an indexed digest of what is inside.

Unlimited cards
No ceiling on any paid plan. The more you put in, the more useful and the better looking it gets.
Quiet reading
Read whole articles inside your keep, free of banners, pop-ups and everything else that pulls at you.
Article backup
Every article you keep is stored whole, so it survives the day the original quietly disappears.
What the tide leaves behind
Automatic image tags
Cairn tags every image you keep, so a picture you cannot describe is still one you can find again.

still life
Same feeling
Show one card and Cairn finds the rest of your keep that carries the same mood, without you naming it.
Text found in pictures
Search across every word printed inside an image — a poster, a screenshot, even a page of handwriting.
reading characters
poster, 1974
Smart shelves
Collections without the filing. Your keep gathers cards around one subject, one theme or one tag.
Search by picture
Search any object, colour, style or word appearing inside an image, and find it again in a second.

Scraps & notes
Keep a thought as easily as a link. Notes sit beside everything else and stay just as easy to find.

Video keeping
Keep every video you mean to watch later. Each one holds up to half an hour, kept whole.
Text clippings
Highlight and right-click to keep a passage or a quote from any article, and the source comes with it.
Sermons, then revelation
For your eyes only
Everything you keep is yours and yours alone. No feed, no browsing other people, no audience.
Happy accidents
Now and then Cairn resurfaces something quietly, so a thing you kept in March finds you again in June.
Companion apps
Use the phone and desktop apps beside the extension. Whatever you keep appears everywhere at once.
Night mode
Switch between light and dark on a schedule, on demand, or leave it to follow the rest of your machine.
Proudly independent
We are a small studio with no outside owners. Your membership is the only thing keeping Cairn alive.
Thank you
from everyone at Cairn
