Your bookmarks
are a graveyard.
Let them decay.

Every link you save gets seven days to earn its keep. Read it, vault it, or let it go.

9 open tabs to save
The premise

You don't have a reading list.
You have a landfill.

The average bookmark bar has 1,127 entries. Fewer than 6% are ever opened again. Omit is a Chrome extension that treats saving as a temporary bet — not a permanent promise.

Traditional bookmarks

Save forever, read never.

The mechanics

Five small habits.
One better reading life.

01 — Time decay

Every link gets 7 days.

A countdown ring shows exactly how long until the bookmark expires. The closer to zero, the warmer the color — urgency by design.

7d
5d

2d
12h
02 — The Vault

What matters stays.

Tap the infinity. Vaulted bookmarks never expire. Group them, color them, make them your library.

Vaulted — never expires
Grouped under "Foundational Reads"
03 — Ask AI PRO

Chat with anything you save.

Summarize, question, and synthesize across your whole collection. Bring your own Gemini key — your data, your quota.

What's the main argument?
Great work comes from problems you find genuinely interesting. Curiosity, not ambition, is the most reliable driver of exceptional output.

04 — Tab Sweep

47 tabs open. One click.

Sweep every open tab into Omit. Each gets its own 7-day timer. Close the tabs. Keep the knowledge. Restart the browser without guilt.

05 — Notion Sync PRO

Seed the good ones in Notion.

One click turns a vaulted bookmark into a Notion page — with an AI summary, your notes, and the original link.

Three motions

Save. Decide. Let go.

Three gestures. Dozens of times a week.

Save.

One shortcut, one click, one sweep of your tabs. The seven-day countdown starts immediately.

Decide.

Read it, skim the AI summary, or glance at the ring. Vault what matters.

Let go.

Unread links drift to Ghosts after seven days. Everything restorable. Nothing demanded.

The mirror PRO

Every Sunday,
Omit tells you who you are as a reader.

A weekly dossier of what you saved, what you actually read, and what you vaulted. An archetype emerges. It is rarely flattering. It is always useful.

The Hoarder

Saves 80 links a week, reads 2. Vault overflowing.

The Completionist

Reads every single save before it expires. 7d streaks.

The Drive-by Scholar

Saves in bursts, vaults sparingly. Clean shelves.

The Monk

Three saves a week. All vaulted. None ghosted.

How Omit compares

vs Pocket

Closed Jul 2025

The closest spiritual replacement.

Mozilla killed Pocket and left 10M users without a home. Omit is "save now, read later" with the part Pocket never shipped — a reason to actually read it.

Migrate from Pocket

vs Raindrop

When your library became the problem.

Raindrop's AI (Stella, Reminders, Suggestions) helps you manage a 5,000-link pile. Omit's design assumes the pile is the bug, not the feature.

Compare in depth

vs Matter

Quieter. Local. Pay once.

Matter is a polished cloud reader with a social discovery feed and an $8/mo subscription. Omit skips the feed, the cloud, and the recurring bill.

Compare in depth

vs GoodLinks

Same indie spirit, different browser.

GoodLinks is the macOS/iOS indie favorite — pay once, no cloud, no telemetry. Omit is the Chromium answer, plus a 7-day timer that keeps you honest.

Frequently asked questions

Things worth knowing.

Will I lose bookmarks I forget about? +
Expired bookmarks aren't deleted — they move to the Ghosts archive. You can restore any of them with one click. "Gone" is just "out of your way."
What if I have 2,000 bookmarks already? +
Omit doesn't import them — dragging 2,000 dead links into a tool built to clear clutter would defeat the point. Instead, open the ones you'd genuinely miss, hit Sweep to pull every open tab in at once, and vault the keepers. Your vault auto-arranges into groups, so the survivors come back sorted. The other 1,950? You already have your answer.
Why 7 days? Can I change it? +
Seven is long enough to make room for a weekend, short enough that hoarding stops paying off. Customizable expiration (1/3/7/30 days) is on the roadmap if the core mechanic lands.
Is my data actually private? +
Yes. Bookmarks live in chrome.storage.local — on your machine, period. AI features call your own Google Gemini key directly from the extension. We never see your links or your queries. The only thing our servers hold is the email tied to your one-time payment.
Do I need an account to use Omit? +
No. Omit runs entirely in your browser — no sign-up, no login, no profile to manage. The only email we ever store is the one tied to your one-time Pro payment, and that's only so we can send your license.
Which browsers does Omit support? +
Chromium-based browsers: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi, and Opera. Firefox and Safari aren't supported yet.
Which AI providers does Omit work with? +
Google Gemini. The free tier from Google AI Studio is generous — 1,500 requests a day — and you bring your own key, so calls go straight from your browser to Google. We never see them.
How much does Omit cost? +
There's a free tier that stays free, and a one-time Pro unlock at $19 — paid once, yours for life. No subscription, no per-seat pricing, no upsells.
Why one-time, not subscription? +
Because our AI cost is zero — you bring the key. Charging monthly for software that runs on your machine with your quota would be rude.

The best thing you'll read this week isn't in your bookmark bar yet.
