How it works

Three modes.
One memory layer.

chanio adapts to how you actually browse. Start passive. Escalate when you need more.

Passive

The default mode. chanio watches as you browse, building a map of your actual interests — no effort required.

1

Install the extension

Add chanio to Chrome in one click. No account required to start.

2

Browse normally

chanio runs quietly in the background. It watches which sites you visit and how long you stay.

3

Your channel map builds

After a week, open chanio. You'll see a map of your actual browsing patterns — organized into channels.

Save

When you find something worth keeping, one click captures everything that matters. Not just the link.

1

Click the chanio icon on any page

A one-click save that captures the page, your scroll position, and the context around what you were reading.

2

chanio extracts the signal

Not just the URL — the topic, the author, the claims, the date. Context that a bookmark never captures.

3

Find it again, actually

Search by topic, by channel, or by what you remember reading. chanio surfaces the right save, not just the last one.

Explore

Pro mode. When passive isn't enough, Explore actively surfaces what you haven't found yet — personalized to your channel map.

1

Open Explore mode

Tell chanio what you want to know. "Find me the best sources on magnesium and sleep." Plain language. No boolean operators.

2

chanio cross-references your channels

It looks at what you've already visited, what your channel network trusts, and what you've never seen.

3

You get a curated shortlist

Five to ten links, ranked by relevance to your actual interests. Not the algorithm's interests.
