Save what matters - not everything you copy. Refetch is the deliberate, local-first context shelf for Mac developers: prompts, commands, code, links, images and files, ready to recognize and reuse.
New Refetch 1.0 (12)OpenAI DevDay is going global. Starting this October, DevDay Exchange is bringing builders together to swap build notes, share real projects, and meet the teams building OpenAI tools in: Bengaluru Tokyo Seoul Berlin Paris London São Paulo Mexico City.

Measured on this build. A deterministic 10,000-item library and media benchmark runs on every change; these are budgets, not claims.
Works with what you already use
One gesture from whatever you are in. The fragment is committed to disk before any network work starts, so the save never waits on enrichment - and nothing is ever collected in the background.
Nothing saved
Copy something useful and press the gesture, or type a note below.
Keep the constraints, drop the preamble, and give me the order of operations.
Committed to disk the moment it lands. Enrichment, previews and thumbnails come after, and never hold the save.
In this chapter
Every capture keeps the identity that made it useful: the source it came from, the language it was written in, the image that was the whole point. Nine types, recognized on sight, searched and sorted from the toolbar.
A means to display additional content related to existing content on the screen.
1320 x 840, sRGB, no alpha.
xcrun notarytool submit --wait, then stapler staple
Two of four rows match. Search runs off the main actor and cancels itself.
In this chapter
Click a row or press Space and a real AppKit popover opens beside it, edits in place, and never writes to your clipboard just for looking. Command-C returns the original payload - nothing rewritten, nothing guessed.
Visible rows request bounded work and cancel what scrolls away.
Gatekeeper, privacy scan, appcast signature, then the DB row.
Inspecting never touches the pasteboard. Copy returns the original payload, and the checkmark waits for the write to succeed.
In this chapter
A memory tray for working context, not another place to organize. It holds what you chose to save, makes it recognizable in a second or two, and hands it back in one keystroke.

Nothing is recorded in the background. You hand Refetch the fragment, and it is committed locally before any enrichment starts.
Nine types, each with the smallest preview that makes a capture recognizable: the source, the language, the image or file that was the point.
On your disk, no account, no sync, no telemetry. Originals stay authoritative and every cache is disposable.
Also in the box
Settings / Appearance
Air between cards, padding, metadata fields, type tint and badges are all yours to set. The list geometry stays stable while you move them.
Settings / General / Availability
You choose it in onboarding: any combination with Command, Option or Control, or two taps of Shift. Refetch assigns no default for you, never assumes one, and the recorded shortcut stays available as the fallback. Double Shift is this page's choice, not the app's.
Capture window
Four states, no completion circles. Captures are resources you keep, not obligations you clear.
Archived captures stay saved and searchable. Pinned ones stay first in their bucket.
Capture window / Code
Shell, Swift, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python and JSON are highlighted from explicit metadata or conservative detection. Anything else stays readable monospace.

Measured
Every number on this page comes from a deterministic 10,000-item library and media benchmark that runs on every change. They are budgets the build has to keep passing.
Keyboard
The opening gesture is yours: onboarding asks you to record any combination with Command, Option or Control, or two taps of Shift, and assigns nothing for you. From there, focus moves in the order you would guess, and Esc unwinds one layer at a time: the popover first, then the selection, then the window itself.
Captures, the authoritative files behind them and every regenerated preview live in Refetch's own folder on this Mac.
No account, no sync, no telemetry, no analytics. There is no server holding a copy of what you saved.
Link enrichment contacts the page you captured, after the URL is already stored. Rendering a page is an explicit per-capture action, never automatic.
