Capture the reels, posts, links and screenshots you save and forget. Openbrain reads each one, summarizes it, and lets you find it in plain language.
No credit card Own your data Runs on your infra
We save more than ever and use almost none of it. Knowledge piles up in a dozen apps that have no reason to help you find it again. Openbrain is the one place it all becomes searchable, and yours.
How it works
Paste a link, drop a screenshot, share from your phone, or forward it to the Telegram bot. Everything lands in one inbox.
Openbrain scrapes the page, reads text inside screenshots with OCR, then writes a summary and tags for every item.
Search by keyword or by meaning. Ask for the thing you half remember and get it back, not a folder to dig through.
What it does
Web, Android share sheet, and a Telegram bot that works on iPhone too.
OCR pulls the text out of images so a screenshot is as searchable as an article.
Hybrid keyword and semantic search finds items even when you forget the exact words.
Every capture is written to an immutable log before processing. Failures never drop data.
Summaries and tags are generated for you. No manual filing, no empty folders.
Self-hostable and AGPL licensed. Your knowledge lives in a database you control.
Bring your history
The platforms will not hand an app your saved posts, and scraping your account is against their rules. So Openbrain uses the data export every platform must give you under GDPR and the DPDP Act. You download your own file from Instagram, X, or your browser bookmarks, and Openbrain reads it. No passwords, no scraping.
