Bookmarks shouldn't last forever.

Omit is a small protest against the bookmark bar. Every link you save gets seven days. Read it, vault it, or let it go. That's the whole product.

The premise

The average bookmark bar has 1,127 entries. Fewer than 6% are ever opened again. The rest are saving as a stand-in for reading — a small lie we tell ourselves about future free time.

Omit treats every save as a temporary bet. A countdown ring on each bookmark makes the cost of inaction visible. After seven days, untouched links drift to the Ghost archive, where they're recoverable but out of the way. What survives is what you actually meant.

The mechanic

Three motions, repeated a few dozen times a week:

1. Save. One shortcut, one click, or a sweep of every open tab. The 7-day timer starts immediately.
2. Decide. Read it, skim the AI summary, or glance at the ring. Vault what matters.
3. Let go. Untouched links expire after seven days. Restorable. Never demanded back.

The principles

• Local-first. Bookmarks live in chrome.storage.local. They never leave your machine unless you ask.
• Bring-your-own AI. AI calls go from your browser straight to your provider — Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, or OpenRouter. Your key, your quota, your data.
• One-time payment. $19, lifetime. We won't charge monthly for software that runs on your machine with your AI quota.
• No telemetry. No analytics, no tracking, no dashboards. The only data on our servers is the email tied to your one-time license.
• Restorable everything. Expired bookmarks, ghosted reading lists, archived vaults — nothing is destroyed. "Gone" is just "out of your way."

Who built it

Omit is made by laFlow — a small studio building tools for people who'd rather read deeply than browse compulsively. We ship one-time-payment software in a subscription world because we think the math should match the work: if our cost is zero per user, your cost should be zero per month.

What's next

Customizable expiration windows (1/3/7/30 days), Firefox/Safari versions, and richer Notion/Obsidian sync are on the roadmap if the core mechanic lands. Public progress notes go on laflow.dev and our changelog.
