—~/Archiver/ is waiting for your next reference

(01)Principle

Your references, your folders. Every zone is a normal folder on your Mac. Every reference is a normal file, with the page it came from. Open it in Finder, drag it into Figma or InDesign. Stop using Archiver tomorrow and everything stays where it is.

(No cloud)

Files never leave your Mac. Image recognition runs on it too.

(No account)

Install, pick a folder, start collecting.

(No lock-in)

Plain folders and files, readable without Archiver.

(02)How it works

Collect, sort, find, show. The extension collects in Chrome. The app does everything after.

(01) Chrome

Collect

Drag an image, link, PDF or text onto one of four Active Zones. Archiver finds the largest version and keeps the page it came from.

(02) Mac

Sort

1–4 files the selection into an Active Zone. Space shows it large, I shows its source.

(03) Mac

Find

Search by subject, colour or text inside the image. Without tagging anything.

(04) Mac

Show

⌘P turns a selection into a contact sheet PDF. 1 to 12 per page, captions on or off.

(03)Find

Find it by what it shows. Archiver reads your references on your Mac: subjects, colours, text in the image. Weeks later, “blue” or “1936” is enough.
