Snotra

Stop re-explaining
your work to AI.

Snotra is a Mac browser that keeps tabs organized by context and gives AI memory of pages you've actually opened — with sources.

Snotra browser on Mac with vertical tabs, address bar, and a web page

  • Context browser

    Tabs, memory, and chat scoped to what you're doing right now.

  • Private memory

    Saved per context on your Mac — work and life stay apart.

  • AI partner

    Sidebar AI that remembers and understands your context.

Sound familiar?

Four everyday frictions when the browser and AI live in separate worlds — and nothing remembers your context for you.

  • Too many tabs, one endless list

    Planning a trip, comparing contractors, writing a proposal, onboarding at a new job — if your browser holds the real work but AI only sees what you pasted into a chat, Snotra is for you.

  • Copy-paste is your memory

    To summarize a page or keep context, you lift text and links into a separate AI chat. What you read stays in the browser; what AI knows lives in the clipboard.

  • One thread, not your whole research

    In ChatGPT or Claude, context lives in one thread — enough for a few days of chat, but research spreads across tabs, sites, and projects. Eventually you're scrolling old messages or pasting links again, because the reading never lived in the chat.

  • No safe line before AI sees your data

    You paste a client form — name, address — into ChatGPT beside banking and health tabs. You can't tell what's blocked, anonymized, or kept on your Mac before it leaves for the cloud.

One browser — context and memory built in

Six parts, one browser

Snotra is not a chat box glued to Chrome. Each layer below is a first-class part of one app — scoped to your active context and visible on screen.

  • Contexts

    Named workspaces with color tags. Each context owns its tabs, chat history, and page library — switch context, switch everything.

  • Native browser

    Real Mac browsing: address bar, tabs, back/forward, find-in-page, translation. Fast tab switching without reloading the page you left.

  • Page library

    Text from pages you save or allow to remember — searchable, tied to one context. Find that hotel listing or policy PDF from two weeks ago by what you read inside it.

  • Personal memory

    Facts about how you work — preferences, context details, recurring topics. Stored locally, searchable, editable. You see exactly what AI can use.

  • Context-scoped AI

    Sidebar chat that belongs to the active context. Questions pull from your page library and open tabs — not a blank session that forgot yesterday.

  • Context briefing

    Before each answer, Snotra gathers what matters on your Mac: your active context, open tabs, matching saved pages, personal facts, and recent chat — fresh each time, so nothing stale carries over.

[ 02 / 05 ]·Product//Differentiation

What makes Snotra different

You don't need another AI tab lost in the clutter. You need a browser where memory, contexts, and sources are the product — not an add-on.

  • Memory from pages you opened

    Not a chat tabGeneric AI knows the internet. Snotra knows your research — indexed per context, retrieved when you ask, cited in the answer. No copying URLs into a separate chat before every question.

  • Contexts with AI memory, not only tabs

    Not just spacesWorkspace browsers organize tabs. Snotra adds a page library, personal facts, and an assistant that reads both — still isolated per context so work and side contexts never mix.

  • Search the content, not the link

    Not bookmarksBookmarks save URLs. Snotra saves what you actually read — searchable by title, address, or a phrase inside the page, even when you forgot where you saw it.

  • Privacy you can audit

    Not a black boxSensitive sites blocked by default. Toolbar shows saved, blocked, or skipped. Personal memory is a panel you edit — encrypted on your Mac before anything optional goes to the cloud.

[ 03 / 05 ]·Product//Benefits

What you gain

Concrete outcomes for people who live in the browser — not a feature checklist.

  • Stop restarting context every time

    Contexts, tabs, chat, and saved pages survive restarts. Pick up Monday where you left Friday — without rebuilding a brief for AI from scratch.

  • Keep contexts separate

    Vacation planning doesn't leak into your day job. Search and AI only see the active context — on purpose, not because you wrote a careful prompt.

  • Trust answers with links

    Claims point to a page you actually opened. When your library has nothing relevant, Snotra says so instead of inventing — traceability over fluent guessing.

  • Own your memory

    Save pages manually or allow remembering per site. Edit or delete personal facts. Allow a bank site once — or never. Memory is a panel you control, not a hidden profile.

  • Fast when it matters

    Search your saved pages offline. Quick questions stay quick. When you're off Wi‑Fi, answers can still draw on what's already on your Mac.

  • One window for the whole project

    Context rail, browser, and AI sidebar in one place — no alt-tabbing between apps while you compare quotes, read pages, and ask questions.

[ 04 / 05 ]·Product//Memory flow

How information flows

Everything happens inside a context. You browse the web as usual — memory builds quietly, and AI reads from the same library you do.

One closed loop per context: you browse, pages are indexed on your Mac, the sidebar searches that library first, and every answer links back to a page you opened.

  1. 01

    Pick a context

    A movie night, a remodel, or a trip — each gets its own tabs, chat, and page library. Switch context, switch everything.

  2. 02

    Read on the web

    Browse normally inside Snotra. Pages you save or allow to index become searchable text — only in this context.

  3. 03

    Memory on your Mac

    Summaries and personal facts stay local. Search works offline. Other contexts never see this library.

  4. 04

    Ask the sidebar

    AI searches your context memory and open tabs first — not a blank chat that forgot what you read yesterday.

  5. 05

    Answers with sources

    Replies cite pages you opened. If your library has nothing relevant, Snotra says so — it won't invent sources from the internet.

Building in the open

Newest first — what we shipped, how your data is handled, and how memory in the browser is getting better. Plain language, no hype.

  1. First invites go out

    Public beta for Mac: separate contexts, memory of pages you read, AI answers with links, a panel for your own facts, and a way to bring tabs over from your old browser. Invites go out in small batches — we'd rather onboard carefully than rush. If you're on the list, watch your inbox.

  2. Email confirmation for the waitlist

    Email confirmation is now part of joining the waitlist: one click from waitlist@snotra.app secures your place in the queue. A follow-up message shares your position and a personal referral link. We only send to addresses that opted in — from our verified domain, with consistent transactional templates.

  3. LCR

    Presentation modes for browsing

    Choose how much of the browser UI you see — full window for reading, balanced layouts for research, or minimal panels when the page should take center stage. Memory and tabs stay the same; only the window frame adapts to how you're working.

  4. Encrypted backups on your Mac

    Browser state can be backed up locally with encryption before anything syncs. Memory settings spell out what stays on device versus what can sync — fewer surprises about where your tabs and summaries live.

  5. ⌕

    Local search before the cloud

    When AI needs passages from saved pages, Snotra searches chunks on your Mac first. Cloud hybrid search still helps on hard questions — but everyday recall starts local, so answers stay fast and your reading list doesn't leave the device by default.

  6. A→Я

    Translation that respects the page

    In-page translation reads declared language tags on the page and picks better source/target pairs. Less guessing when a site labels itself — cleaner swaps between originals and translations, and memory keeps the language you actually read.

  7. #

    queue

    Early access opens

    This site and the waitlist are live. We're not inventing a launch date — we're opening the queue and inviting people as daily use holds up. The memory stack below is already in the app; early access is about proving it survives real research workflows, not demo slides.

  8. TabsPagesFacts

    Intent-aware prompts

    Before every answer, Snotra figures out what you actually need — a tab list, a saved page, personal facts, or a deep dive across everything you've read. Simple questions no longer wade through your whole library. Less noise, sharper replies.

  9. ✓✓✓✓✓✓

    Tested before it ships

    Sign-in flows, translation, tab switching, and chat sends are checked automatically. Memory gets the same discipline: contexts stay separate, long chats don't break, and questions that span several tabs still find the right pages.

  10. +

    Smarter search across saved pages

    Saved pages are broken into passages you can search by keyword or meaning. When your question touches two tabs — say, flights and hotels — both sides can surface in one answer.

  11. A→Я

    Translate pages in place

    Read articles in another language without leaving the page. Pick a language from the address bar, translate in place, revert in one click. What you saved for memory stays in the language you actually read.

  12. ⌘123

    Shortcuts for daily browsing

    Jump between contexts and tabs from the keyboard, find text on a page, show or hide sidebars. Feels familiar if you already use Safari or Chrome — with memory that follows the context you're in.

  13. trip · dates · May 12–19

    Personal memory you control

    Facts about you live on your Mac — preferences, standing plans, how you like summaries. Search, edit, or delete any entry; optional cloud sync only if you turn it on. Wipe a fact and it stays gone. Nothing hidden in a profile you can't open.

  14. rollup

    Long threads, trimmed honestly

    Long chats compress into summaries on your Mac so threads stay usable. Optional fact capture only when you want it — uncertain guesses don't get saved. Recent messages stay word-for-word; older ones fold into a short recap instead of disappearing.

  15. AIsrc

    Answers with sources

    Answers show where each point came from — page title, link, and a short quote. If your context has nothing useful, the assistant says so instead of inventing. Lisbon planning never pulls pages from your work context.

  16. PTR

    A briefing before every Send

    The assistant doesn't remember yesterday's session for you — each send gathers fresh context on your Mac: who you are in settings, which context is active, open tabs, the page you're on, the best matching saved passages, personal facts, and recent chat.

  17. bankblock

    Careful by default indexing

    Banking, checkout, health, and government sites skip memory unless you explicitly allow them. Very short pages and video players are skipped too. The toolbar always shows why — waiting, saved, blocked, or skipped — and you can allow one site without changing everything else.

  18. ⌕

    Search what you saved

    Find a page by title, URL, or text inside it — scoped to the current context. Works offline against local summaries when cloud search is unavailable. The article from two weeks ago is one query away, not buried in bookmarks.

  19. Readable text, not screenshots

    Memory stores the readable text from a page — not a screenshot. Save from the toolbar, or let Snotra remember after you've been on a page for a moment when the site allows it. Status is always visible: saving, saved, not saved, or blocked.

  20. Find the right paragraph

    Long articles are split into passages so search lands on the paragraph you care about, not just the headline. Summaries stay on your Mac so the same page isn't re-read from scratch every time.

  21. TabsPages

    Two layers of persistence

    Tabs, contexts, and chat are saved as you go. Page summaries, visit history, and personal facts live in a local store on your Mac. Restart, crash, Friday quit — Monday reopen picks up the same context, tabs, and library.

  22. Keys in Keychain, encrypt before cloud

    Passwords and keys stay in the Mac Keychain — not in plain files. Anything that might sync to the cloud is encrypted on your Mac first. Personal facts you save are visible in the app — searchable, editable, deletable.

  23. ◀▶
    https

    A real browser underneath

    Address bar, back and forward, tabs that don't reload when you switch. Sign-in popups and bank flows work without breaking the tab you started from. We wouldn't ship AI on a browser we wouldn't use for our own planning and research.

  24. Contexts, not tab chaos

    Named contexts with color tags — each has its own tabs, chat, and saved pages. Switch from "Kitchen remodel" to "Trip to Lisbon" and nothing crosses over. Isolation is deliberate, not an accident.

  25. LCR

    Three columns, one window

    Contexts on the left, the web in the center, AI on the right — one window for a full day. Memory only works when browsing and chat share the same context; splitting apps broke that from day one.

  26. ?

    The question we started with

    Arc was gone. A chat can hold a few days of back-and-forth — but our work lived in tabs, bookmarks, and separate projects, not in one thread. In April we started asking: what if the browser remembered each context and the pages you actually read — and AI answered from there with links, not pasted summaries?
