# Omit — Bookmarks that decay on purpose > A Chrome side-panel bookmark manager that gives every link 7 days. Read it, vault it, or let it go. Local-first, no telemetry, bring-your-own AI key. $19 one-time, no subscription. URL: https://getomit.pro/ Install: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/omit-%E2%80%94-read-let-go/fileakhpajjcfjigpeiimcaodlbhgdgi Built by: laFlow (https://laflow.dev) Status: Live on the Chrome Web Store as of 2026-06-02. --- ## The premise Your bookmarks are a graveyard. The average bookmark bar has 1,127 entries. Fewer than 6% are ever opened again. Traditional bookmarks save forever and read never. Omit treats saving as a temporary bet — not a permanent promise. Every saved link gets seven days to earn its keep. Read it, vault it, or let it go. ## How Omit works Three motions, repeated dozens of times a week: 1. **Save.** One shortcut, one click, or a single sweep of every open tab. The seven-day countdown starts immediately. 2. **Decide.** Read it, skim the AI summary, or glance at the countdown ring. Vault what matters. 3. **Let go.** Unread links drift to the Ghosts archive after seven days. Everything is restorable. Nothing is demanded. ## Features ### 1. Time decay (Core) Every saved bookmark gets a 7-day countdown ring. The ring shows exactly how long until the bookmark expires, and the closer to zero, the warmer the color — urgency by design. At 12 hours left, the ring is fully ember-orange. ### 2. The Vault (Core) Tap the infinity glyph on any bookmark to vault it. Vaulted bookmarks never expire. They can be grouped under custom names and colors — your library, not your landfill. ### 3. Ask AI (Pro) Chat with anything you save. Summarize, question, and synthesize across any single link or your whole collection. Bring your own Google Gemini key (free at AI Studio, 1,500 requests/day) — your data, your quota, your provider. ### 4. Tab Sweep (Core) 47 tabs open. One click. Sweep every open tab into Omit. Each gets its own 7-day timer. Close the tabs, keep the knowledge, restart the browser without guilt. ### 5. Notion Sync (Pro) One click turns a vaulted bookmark into a Notion page — with an AI summary, your notes, and the original link. Obsidian export is also supported. OAuth-based, no API key fiddling. ### 6. Reading Archetype (Pro) Every Sunday, Omit produces a weekly dossier: what you saved, what you actually read, and what you vaulted. From the pattern, an archetype emerges. It is rarely flattering. It is always useful. Archetypes include: - **The Hoarder** — saves 80 links a week, reads 2. Vault overflowing. - **The Completionist** — reads every single save before it expires. 7-day streaks. - **The Drive-by Scholar** — saves in bursts, vaults sparingly. Clean shelves. - **The Monk** — three saves a week. All vaulted. None ghosted. - **The Synthetic Pigeon** — extracts rather than reads. Street-smart, AI-optimized, allergic to long-form. The AI summary is the native tongue. ## Pricing ### Core — $0, always Free forever.

You can restore any of them with one click. "Gone" is just "out of your way." ### Is my data actually private? Yes. Bookmarks live in `chrome.storage.local` — on your machine, period. AI features call your own Google Gemini key directly from the extension. Omit servers never see your links or your queries. The only thing the server holds is the email tied to your one-time payment. ### Why 7 days? Can I change it? Seven days is long enough to make room for a weekend, short enough that hoarding stops paying off. Customizable expiration (1/3/7/30 days) is on the roadmap if the core mechanic lands. ### What if I have 2,000 bookmarks already? Import them. Everything starts in the Vault, so nothing decays immediately. Then vault-out the ones you actually want to work through — those get a fresh 7-day timer. A very honest audit. ### Why one-time, not subscription? Because Omit's AI cost is zero — you bring the key. Charging monthly for software that runs on your machine with your quota would be rude. ### Which browsers does Omit support? Chromium-based browsers: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi, Opera. Firefox and Safari are not currently supported. ### Which AI providers does Omit work with? Google Gemini. The free tier from Google AI Studio gives 1,500 requests/day, which is plenty for typical use. You provide the key; calls go from your browser straight to Google. (Earlier builds supported OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and OpenRouter; those were retired in May 2026 to keep the one-time price viable — see the changelog.) ### Does Omit have an account system? No account is required for the free tier. Pro users register an email to tie their one-time license to a recoverable identifier — that's the only data on Omit servers. ## Privacy summary - Bookmarks: stored only in `chrome.storage.local`. - AI: requests go directly from your browser to your chosen provider. - Telemetry: none. - Analytics: none. - Account: optional, only for Pro license recovery. - Server-side data: license email only. - Consent: explicit dialog before any AI feature is used for the first time. ## Support - Public support form: https://getomit.pro/support.html — posts to a Cloudflare Worker that files a GitHub issue on `aydinfer/Omit`. - In-extension support: same flow, accessible from the side panel. - Legal/business correspondence: support@getomit.pro. ## Comparisons Direct comparisons with alternative bookmark and read-later tools. ### Omit vs Pocket (Pocket is discontinued) **Pocket was shut down by Mozilla on July 8, 2025.** The mobile apps were removed from the App Store and Google Play, the browser extension stopped accepting saves, and the export window closed on October 8, 2025. The Pocket domain still serves a shutdown notice but the service is fully retired and was not open-sourced on the way out. For the decade Pocket was active, it was the most popular read-later app on the internet — clean reading view, cloud sync, iOS / Android / Kobo apps, free tier plus ~$5/month Premium. Mozilla's stated reason for the shutdown was that the way people save and discover content had shifted. Omit is the closest spiritual replacement, with one important difference: Omit doesn't try to hoard your reading list forever. Every save gets 7 days unless you actively vault it. If you'd grown frustrated with your Pocket archive becoming a graveyard, Omit's premise will feel familiar. If you exported your Pocket archive as HTML or CSV before the October 2025 deadline, Omit imports both — everything lands in the Vault by default so nothing decays during the audit.

It's the right answer if you genuinely use 2,000 bookmarks. Omit refuses that game; the premise is that organization is the wrong problem, filtering is. Full comparison: https://getomit.pro/vs/raindrop.html ### Omit vs Matter Matter is one of the prettiest read-later apps ever shipped — polished mobile reader, AI summaries, curator-led discovery feed. Pick Matter if your reading happens mostly on a phone. Pick Omit if your reading happens mostly at a laptop, you want a forcing function rather than a feed, and you'd rather pay once than yearly. Full comparison: https://getomit.pro/vs/matter.html ### Omit vs GoodLinks GoodLinks is the indie Apple-only favorite — one-time payment, polished iOS / macOS apps, tags. Pick GoodLinks if you live entirely inside Apple's ecosystem. Pick Omit if you want the same indie one-time-payment ethos but on Chromium-based browsers, with a 7-day decay twist and AI features.
