Resurf
Resurf is a local-first personal knowledge base and bookmark manager for Mac, iPhone and iPad. Save notes, bookmarks, screenshots, PDFs and voice memos into one library, search it offline by words or meaning, and hand that context to Claude, Cursor or Codex over MCP and a CLI. Opt-in AI summaries and tagging use your own API key or local models.
