Saves Everything
--------------------
Fetching saves the full content of the web pages you visit exactly as you see them so you can search on what you remember -- not on what happens to be public. View your cached page copies at any time.

Powerful Search
--------------------
Sophisticated search ensures you always find what you're looking for, even if you only remember a few keywords. Natural language processing ensures you get results even when you can't be precise.

Sophisticated Filters
-----------------------
Slice and dice your data like a samurai. Filter your results by domain, time, body, title, notes and tags.

Automatic
------------
Fetching is fully automatic via a small browser plug-in that runs in the background. Just like your browser history -- only better. You don't need to do anything to keep track of everything.

Complete Privacy Control
-----------------------------
Fetching is fully disabled in private and incognito modes and the extension can be turned off at any time. Rich filtering by domain and regular expression lets you blacklist any site.

Tags and Notes New
------------------------
Tag like a pro including auto-complete and keep notes on important sites. Easily search and filter on both.

Quick and Simple UI
-----------------------
Fetching uses reactive technology, responding immediately as you search and add content. A clean user interface gets you quickly to your goal then gets out of the way.

Bookmarks
-------------
Just like mom used to make. You can bookmark / favorite any site directly from your browser without leaving the page you're reading. Easily filter and search your saved sites later.

Greg M (ID: 000000ad9751cc9b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/12/2018 I like the idea of Fetching very much. But, fundamentally, I will not do recurring web subscriptions, and would rather pay a one-time small license fee. Many are the apps and plugins I've passed on because they require a recurring subscription fee. Not going to go there, it's not a business model I can support except in very few exceptions, not the norm.

Salar Zeynali (ID: 00000052d042be93) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/15/2016 Seems like a good extension, but you should have mentioned that it's not free in it's description. Wasted my time downloading and creating an account for it, thinking as it's a free service. And when everything was done, a small text appeared in my account, that 31 days is left to end trial. The first thing that come to mind by this type of behavior in marketing, is SCAMMING. If not, why not telling the truth at beginning?

Ms R (ID: 000000e3d3a9a283) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/09/2015 This is awesome. It has already saved me a lot of time looking for articles I had read previously and wanted to review again. I am also starting to use it as a replacement for 3 or 4 different bookmarking apps. If you do any kind of work or research online, I think this is the best thing to come along in years. I highly recommend it.
