i have an amazing solution for this, instead of screenshotting, i save it in txt (type it out) so that later when i have a self hosted LLM assistant, i can send all the shit ive compiled till now, and ask for movies/ songs/ or any article i saved and i can just do a semantic search through it. planning to make an open source tool for this but not too good at ML
For everyone else, here: https://rlama.dev/
Amazing! I’m going to bookmark this for later…
Oh, no need to wait for LLMs. Apache Solr should be really good at it. We used it at a company I was working at to build the most kickass search into our platform, that would actually find the stuff you were looking for…and that was back in 2018 :D
ayy, that’s nice. LLMs are truely overkill just for semantic search though, didnt know there are other ways to achieve this. but we need intelligence too right. (somewhat)
Don’t get me wrong though… throwing an LLM at it would be a lot easier and faster. Just a mind boggling use of resources for a task that could probably be done more efficiently :D
Setting this up with Apache Solr and a suitable search frontend runs a high risk of becoming an abandoned side project itself^^
Yeah LLM seems like the go to solution. And the best one. And talking about resources, we can use barely smart models which can generate coherent sentences, be it 0.5b-3b models offloaded to CPU inference only.
I self host a bookmark tool literally called hoarder. Save stuff to it all the time, never ever go look at it.
My first response to seeing this:
“Interesting. I’ll add this as a bookmark so that I can go back to it later.”
Honestly, with how many projects I have bookmarked, I should probably allocate some time to just looking through my bookmarks to see if anything especially interesting stands out.
And you can tie in AI ✨! So you can make an LLM categorize the stuff that you’ll never look at again.
No thanks.
Honestly, I think this was probably the initial product idea for this Microsoft Recall shit. If I could have something like that running locally, open-source and with a non-insane security architecture, I’d never again use a folder in my life.
Dump it all to
~/mytrashpileand let the AI figure out what I want I’m looking for 😄
I was looking for this comment! I swear it’s quite useful and not just feeding my self-hosting habit!

These ideas are getting refined by fermenting in my tab stack!
At work I use tab groups to keep them organized by project, so I can tell just how far behind/how overwhelmed I am with a given project by the count of tabs in a given tab group.
It’s a highly effective way to quantify my work-related anxiety.
Downloading this to my meme archive I’m never gonna use 🫣
Is this everyone or do I have adhd?
This is something everyone does in varying degree and does not necessarily mean you have ADHD.
Looking at this behaviour in isolation says nothing WRT whether or not you have ADHD…so the answer is maybe, maybe not.
Man, I’m asking myself the same since I found this community.
Just like basically every mental attribute, ADHD is a spectrum. I’ve been diagnosed ADHD but don’t have it half as bad as many of the people here seem to, and yet I’ve also had a variety of bad reactions to every medication I’ve tried. Other people may have a few symptoms but not enough to bother getting a diagnosis, as it may not affect their daily lives at all.
But also I’m another person who has too many favorites to ever properly read through, so this is a definitely real, medically valid internet comment diagnosis that you undoubtedly have ADHD
Also there is a problem with some clinics diagnosing adhd ad hoc
You just go they talk to you and bam you get diagnosis after one hour of half assed interview and questionnaire. It’s more or less harmless for individual imo but you waste money and time where the problem may be something different
I don’t know how to approach this fake half assed diagnosis topic but it has disturbed my inner peace and itches the back of the brain
Stop attacking me!
Then you forget or misremember the name of the site or idea, and it’s just lost in a sea of broken dreams.
Hoarder app is great for this
I’ve used Wallabag forever. Wish I could import it all to Hoarder. It looks neat, I bookmarked it a few weeks ago.
You might be able to bulk import links
Oo looks like I can now and use it with ollama too. Wicked. Will take a look later, cheers.
OKAY NOW. You can feed Wallabag into it. I am excite.
It’s a pretty sweet software! I recommend the app as well. I don’t use the ai part and it’s already good
I know that in the future AI will scour my screenshot folder and group everything neatly, add tags even.
Hope is a wonderful drug
Newer Pixel phones can do this already, and I quite like it. Basically a local model on the device writes a text description for each screenshot, and you can sort/categorize them based on that. It will refuse to describe particularly spicy screenshots (either political or graphic), but perhaps that’s a good thing.
You do need to sell your soul to the corpo overlords though and join the Google ecosystem, which I continue to have mixed feelings about.
I wonder if there is a way to do this on a degoogled graphene OS installed pixel phone.
BTW, I’m looking for a source of a cheap pixel 6 or newer phone for privacy purposes (to install graphene OS on), I’m a disabled activist on a fixed income so it’s hard to afford stuff like that most of the time but at the same time it’s becoming more and more important to take measures like that for privacy, if anyone is interested in a trade or otherwise has a good idea for how I can get one, please let me know.

Thank you, that’s a good recommendation. I added my region. What I am really hoping for is that someone will have one they’ve been meaning to get rid of and knowing it will be used for that purpose is hopefully a bonus to someone that might apply to and we can work something out that helps both of us.
Also maybe we will be able to prompt our pc with a local open source model “pick all science related screenshots and group by the topic” - sure 1344 results, do you want to see them?, no list all the topics, - astronomy(34), quantum(23), ethnology(10)
I don’t see whats stopping you from doing exactly that ten years ago. What you describe it just tag searching. Plenty of software exists to do that.
You’re missing the point that actually requires tagging and organization to begin with.
The difference they are talking about is automatic parsing and natural language understanding of their screenshots and other data.
I wonder if todays llm cant to that already
Did it unconsciously.
Fortunately the web ui doesn’t tell me how many bookmarks I have.
I go a step further and (browser) bookmark each post I save. All of the bookmarks are sorted by Comments vs Post, and Community. This means I can ensure that I can search by the title of the post in my bookmarks.
Haha this is definitely me 😂
Not just screenshots. I have literally hundred thousand photos of which about 50% are neatly in the correct folders and the rest are a complete mess that I don’t even want to look at. If I spent like 5 minutes each day organizing them I’d sort it out in no time but I just can’t get myself doing it.

Wait before you hear of OCD :D
Wait until you hear about OCD ADHD combined. I recommend everyone use https://obsidian.md/. It’s my trapper keeper and I’ve managed to funnel everything into it into their own little boxes in a rather automated fashion… Combine that with a little self hosting and you’ve got an orchestra for the chaos gremlin that you can drop and pick up again as many times as you want. I regularly mix up my toys and tools to keep it interesting as long as they funnel into obsidian eventually. I literally have about 200 obsidian extensions and everything syncs across network and devices lol.
I came here to recommend it as well. It’s wonderful for this. My memory is shit but I have enough of it to be like… wait I think I did something with this once… and then search my vault for my notes. I used to use OneNote but Obsidian is 1000% better. I love how fast it is to create a reasonably documented note if you have a template set up.
My workflow for anyone interested:
Ctrl + O
Type the title which shows you if theres anything that already has this name where you might want to add this instead of making a new note (assuming you have a naming scheme).
Shift + Enter to create the note.
Ctrl+~ to add template. Paste info, paste url and make whatever notes I want.
This leaves you with an easily searchable vault of notes which you can further organize with tags/links pretty much however you want.
I thought to myself. This looks neat, I’ll check it out. Went to the page, then to the App Store to install it. Already had it. Doh!!
With enough ADHD individuals’ Obsidian notes combined, we will be able to release a book based on the summarised self help articles. “Survive
ADHD, OCDAnything, the book.”, the first page will feature an FAQ, and a link to the audiobook version.
Jokes on you, I just keep tab groups on my phone. Only 3 groups of 500 tabs are hanging out and it’s it’s own overwhelming problem…
I have Firefox on my phone set to delete tabs that have gone unused for a week. It helps my sanity.
I leave a bunch of of tabs on my phone web browser until i can’t take anymore (around 15/20 tabs) then i organize everything with bookmarks so i can, maybe, some day, who knows, if i feel like it and the planets align, i might take a look on them, just maybe
This is exactly what I do too! Bookmarks felt too hidden and easily forgotten so I now have folders upon folders of tabs I mean to get back to 💀
