WHAT IS ANCHORIS?
A local-first workspace for Mac
Anchoris is a local-first workspace for Mac that keeps notes, files, projects, and web research connected in one local folder — private by default. It helps you capture useful web pages, organize project materials, see relationships through Lens and Work Map, and return to work without rebuilding context.
WEB CAPTURE
Bring useful web pages into your workspace.
Browser capture support turns pages you find into local material, so web research can become part of your projects, search, and context — not another lost tab.
BEFORE
A useful page disappears into tabs, bookmarks, or screenshots.
AFTER
Capture it into Anchoris as local HTML, keep the source URL, and make it part of your project materials.
- Capture full pages from Chrome
- Save selected text or specific page areas
- Keep the original source URL attached
- Open saved captures in Anchoris
- Local-first by default
LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN
Built for the AI era, without giving up control.
As more tools move your notes, files, web research, and context into the cloud, Anchoris starts from the opposite direction: your local folder, your Mac, your workspace.
Local first, not cloud first
Anchoris starts with files and folders on your Mac. Your workspace does not need to become someone else's cloud database.
Private by default
Your notes, captured pages, PDFs, docs, and project materials stay inside a local workspace you control.
Ready for AI, with boundaries
Anchoris is designed for context-aware work and local AI boundaries — so intelligence can help without taking ownership of your work.
HOW YOUR WORK COMES TOGETHER
From local files and the web to one connected workspace.
01 / BEGIN LOCAL
Start with a Folder You Own
Choose a folder on your Mac. Anchoris works with ordinary local files, without moving your work into a private cloud database or forcing a new folder structure.
02 / BRING IN THE WEB
Turn Useful Pages into Local Material
Capture articles, references, and research from your browser. Anchoris saves them as readable local HTML, keeps their source context, and brings supported images with them.
03 / SEE THE CONTEXT
Let Relationships Surface
Notes, documents, captured pages, projects, references, and opened-alongside materials become part of one visible local work network.
04 / RETURN WITH CONTINUITY
Come Back Without Rebuilding the Thread
Search what you saved, reopen the source, follow related work, and return to the project with more of the surrounding meaning still intact.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
One local workspace for the way you actually work.
For web research
Save useful pages into your local workspace. Keep the original source, read them later, and connect them to the project they belong to.
For project materials
Gather notes, PDFs, docs, captures, code snippets, and references around the project they belong to. No forced database, no new folder structure.
For returning to work
See what you opened alongside, what links back, and where you last stopped. Spend less time rebuilding context.
For connected context
Related notes, files, and captured pages surface each other through projects, source, recency, and backlinks — without manual filing or remembering where everything lives.
Work Should Stay Yours, Connected, and Alive.
Local, private, and built around the context of your work.
Private by default
Your workspace starts from files in a folder you own.
Built around context
Projects, links, references, and recent activity stay visible.
Human authority stays central
AI can help, but your work remains yours to decide, edit, and keep.
From scattered work to anchored work.
Your work should not disappear into apps, clouds, and chats. It should have a local home, a visible network, and a way to return without rebuilding the thread.
From cloud sprawl to local ground
Before
Work scatters across apps, accounts, and AI chats.
After
Anchoris starts in a local folder you can see, back up, and trust.
From isolated files to a living work network
Before
Folders store files but rarely show how they connect.
After
Lens surfaces backlinks, opened-alongside materials, and a local Work Map around what you open.
From temporary tabs to lasting local context
Before
Useful pages vanish into tabs, bookmarks, and screenshots.
After
Capture a page, keep its source, and make it project-ready material.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Anchoris a note app, file manager, or web clipper?
Anchoris overlaps with all three, but its main job is different: it helps your work keep its context. You can write notes, open files, capture web pages, organize project materials, and see how things connect inside one local Mac workspace.
Where exactly is my data stored?
Your data is stored locally on your own Mac in standard local files and folders. Anchoris operates from a local workspace, so your notes, files, and personal project context are not moved into an external cloud database by default.
Do I need to move my work into the cloud to use Anchoris?
No. Anchoris starts with a local folder on your Mac. You can organize notes, files, captured pages, and project context without turning your workspace into a cloud-first database.
What should I try first after downloading?
Choose a local folder, capture a useful web page, add it to a project, then open Lens to see related materials and backlinks.
How does the local AI work? Will it train on my notes?
No. Anchoris is built around local AI boundaries. The goal is for synthesis and reasoning to happen inside the local context you choose, without using your private notes, internal files, or personal data to train public AI systems.
Does Anchoris support cross-device synchronization?
Yes, on your own terms. Because your workspace maps to a local file system directory, you can sync it using tools you trust, such as iCloud Drive, Git, a private NAS, or another secure channel.
Will it alter my existing folder structure or proprietary metadata?
No. Anchoris acts as a non-intrusive semantic layer over your existing layout. It indexes relationships, cross-references, and timelines into a lightweight local cache without forcing you to reorganize your folders.
Bring your work back to a place you control.
Download Anchoris for Mac and start with a local folder you already own.
