A reference manager for the things you actually want to find again. Paste a link or snap a photo of your screen, and Ref·Ari works out what it's looking at — a video, an article, a tool, a screenshot of a YouTube video — then names it, tags it, summarises why it matters, and files it into a library you can search just by describing what you're after.

It came from a personal pain point. I save references constantly — a tutorial, a Dribbble shot, a paragraph I'll want later — and they scatter across screenshots, open tabs and notes-to-self, never to be seen again. So I built the thing that catches them and keeps them in order.

The name is a play on words. "Ref" is short for reference; say "Ref·Ari" out loud and it lands on referee. So the mascot is exactly that — Ari, an 8-bit pixel referee who reviews every reference, blows the whistle, and waves it safely into the library (and pulls a yellow card when you try to save the same thing twice).

Drop in a link or a screenshot and Ari reviews, names, tags, and files it. Entirely vibe coded with Claude Code — no framework, no build step, one self-contained file. Mobile-first, dark mode. Bring your own API key; it runs in your browser, nothing is saved to a server, nothing is tracked.

Shipping's still in progress — it'll be live right here soon. Be patient, I'm a designer, not a dev :)
