Features on Arivu

Capture & Library

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Capture is available from every authenticated screen. Library is where captured and derived knowledge becomes browsable without forcing everything into folders first.

Capture Without Prerequisites

Choose Capture, then select Link, Note, Quote, or File. A capture does not require a tag, folder, stage, classification, embedding, or model provider.

Link saves a page through the normal bookmark pipeline.
Note creates a standalone note.
Quote preserves selected evidence with its source URL and an optional interpretation.
File imports supported material as a searchable note.

The browser extension, PWA share target, CLI, and local automation routes use the same owned knowledge store. Link and quote captures can queue in the browser while offline.

Second Brain Workflow

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Arivu is organized around one loop: Capture -> Connect -> Discover -> Learn. You can begin without choosing a taxonomy or configuring AI, then add structure as your knowledge base grows.

Capture

Use the global Capture action for a link, note, quote, or file. Browser extension, PWA share target, and CLI capture remain available. Imported documents and transcripts become searchable notes instead of entering a separate media library.

New material appears in Library. Inbox remains a filtered Library view for users who want to assign a stage, importance, or next action.

Notes, Links & Research Objects

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Notes is a primary destination alongside Home, Library, Graph, and Insights. It is the writing workspace for ideas that begin with you rather than with a saved page.

Notes and Daily Notes

Create a standalone note from global Capture or the Notes page. A note has its own detail route and can carry explicit links, backlinks, tasks, reminders, and related material. Home also includes a dated daily note for lightweight working context.

Reminders & Tasks

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Tasks and reminders support knowledge work without turning Arivu into a full project-management system. Attach them to a bookmark or note so the action stays beside its evidence.

Tasks

A task, also called an action item, is an undated checklist item. Create one from relevant item details, complete it when finished, or remove it when it no longer matters. Pending work can appear on Home and in its Focus or Review contexts.

AI Assistant

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

AI is an optional layer in Arivu, not a prerequisite for capture, organization, or retrieval. The canonical Search / Ask surface can synthesize a cited answer, while Assistant action review keeps proposed changes under your control.

Cited Ask

Ask deterministically assembles a cited response from saved content in your Arivu account and does not call a model provider. Its claims link back to owned bookmarks or notes. Optional providers can improve summaries and other enrichment stored with that material, while ordinary full-text Search and cited Ask remain available without one.

Search & Ask

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Search / Ask is globally available and has the canonical route /search. It supports two related jobs: finding saved material and synthesizing a cited answer from it.

Search Your Saved Knowledge

Search retrieves owned bookmarks and notes with snippets and source links. Use text and structured filters to narrow the result set. Full-text retrieval is local and does not require a model provider or embeddings.

Semantic-similarity relationships are separate from full-text search. They appear in connected surfaces only when embeddings exist, while ordinary retrieval continues without them.

Knowledge Graph & Topic Evolution

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Graph helps you inspect how owned knowledge connects. It opens a bounded recent view or a focused neighborhood instead of attempting to draw your entire collection at once.

Nodes and Relationships

Graph can project bookmarks, notes, daily notes, annotations, knowledge objects, entities, and concepts. Relationships include:

explicit links you created
source relationships
shared concepts
shared entities
semantic similarity when embeddings exist

Explicit links are canonical. Derived relationships are quieter, rebuildable, and include provenance and confidence where relevant. A missing model provider or embedding does not remove explicit, source, concept, or entity relationships.

Collections & Tags

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Collections and tags remain optional ways to organize bookmarks. Arivu does not require either before capture, and Library adds broader filters across all supported knowledge types.

Collections

A collection is a named group of bookmarks. A bookmark can belong to more than one collection, and deleting a collection does not delete its bookmarks. Use collections for deliberate project or reading groups when a simple Library filter is not enough.

The browser extension can place a new bookmark into one of your existing collections during capture.

Insights

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Insights turns locally detected patterns into explainable prompts for learning. The canonical route is /insights; the existing /analytics link remains compatible.

What Insights Detects

Current insight families include:

Emerging themes appearing across recent material
Recurring connections between sources or notes
Forgotten value worth revisiting
Knowledge gaps suggested by the shape of your collection
Serendipitous connections between otherwise distant items

Each insight includes an explanation, time window, confidence, detection reason, supporting items you own, and possible next actions. Evidence links let you inspect why the pattern appeared.

Import & Export

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Imports enter the same Library as ordinary captures. Documents and transcripts become notes, while full JSON backups preserve durable account knowledge for restore.

Bookmark and Feed Imports

Settings accepts browser bookmark HTML, an Arivu JSON backup, one URL per line, OPML, RSS or Atom, and URL-bearing CSV or TSV files. Common Pocket, Raindrop, Linkwarden, Readwise, and Kindle-style exports work when their fields can be mapped.

Import jobs run in the background and report fetched, processed, skipped, and failed items. Arivu records source provenance, deduplicates normalized URLs, and rejects unsafe URLs before creating bookmarks.

Resurfacing & Rediscovery

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Arivu brings older material back when it has a reason to matter. Rediscovery supports the Learn stage of the core loop without turning your collection into a guilt queue.

Where Material Returns

Home can show one useful memory alongside new material, active work, and recent notes.
Review remains a contextual Home view for items that are due, important, unfinished, stale, or otherwise worth another look.
Insights detects forgotten value, recurring connections, gaps, themes, and serendipitous relationships with supporting evidence.

Each review candidate or insight explains why it appeared. You can inspect the source before deciding what to do.
