ABOUT PURLNOTE

Good finds.
Woven together.

The internet is a sea of links.
Keep the ones that mean something to you.

The story behind the name
A few good finds. Something worth keeping.

A LITTLE LESS SCATTERED

Your internet.
One thoughtful home.

Every day you come across something worth keeping: an article to finish later, a recipe you want to try, a tool a friend recommended, a video you’ll want to find again. Most of it ends up scattered across open tabs, browser bookmarks, notes apps, and messages to yourself. And then it’s lost.

PurlNote gives those finds one home. Save a link in a moment, and let PurlNote help organize it into topics, with suggested tags and a short summary from the available details. When you come back looking for something, search in your own words or browse by topic and source.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

You save.
It sorts.

Most bookmarking tools ask you to do the organizing. You make the folders, write the tags, and keep it all up to date. Sooner or later, it becomes one more thing to manage.

PurlNote is built to take that work off your plate. Every part of the product starts with one question: how can this be simpler? Less clutter. Less filing. More room for the things you want to keep.

For all the things you find.

Students gathering research. Professionals saving resources for work. Anyone collecting ideas, inspiration, moods, and moments from across the internet. PurlNote turns a messy trail of links into a collection you can actually use.

OUR STORY

A little wordplay.
A few threads of meaning.

PurlNote started with a love of wordplay. The first one is hiding in plain sight.

01 / THE URL

It’s right there in the name.

Look closely at “Purl” and you’ll find “URL” tucked inside. For a product whose entire job is saving URLs, that’s hard to call a coincidence.

02 / THE STITCH

Scattered threads, made whole.

In knitting, a purl is one of the two basic stitches. A single loop on its own doesn’t amount to much. But stitch after stitch, loops come together into fabric.

That felt like exactly what saving links should be: scattered threads pulled together into something whole.

03 / THE PEARL

Some finds are worth keeping.

Say the name out loud and you’ll hear the other half of the idea. Purl sounds like pearl. Browsing the web is a lot like diving in the ocean: every so often, you find something worth keeping.

Gather enough of those pearls, string them together, and you’ll have something you’ll treasure.

The URL, the stitch, and the pearl became the heart of PurlNote. Built out of a fondness for puns and metaphors, and a simple frustration: saving a link should be the easiest thing in the world. So PurlNote was made to feel simple, intuitive, and effortless.
