Hover to save
Save controls appear over any image on Instagram or Facebook. One click files that photo, and nothing is saved unless you say so. Right-click and choose Save image to vault works too.
Windows desktop app and Chrome extension
Save what you see. Filed by person, not platform.
Reminiscent watches Instagram and Facebook while you browse. Hover a photo, click Save, and it lands in a local vault on your own machine, organized by the person it is from, not scattered across whichever app you saw it in.
Nothing is uploaded. There is no account, no server, and no cloud in between.
How it works
Three things, all on your own machine.
Save a whole post at once
Save all grabs every image in a carousel, including slides you have not scrolled to yet, one at a time so it never floods the page you are on.
Filed by person, kept local
Every save lands under the account it came from, in your Library, not in a folder you will never sort through. The whole vault is a local database on your own disk.
Windows only for now. The build is not code-signed yet, so the first run shows Windows' standard "protected your PC" prompt: choose More info, then Run anyway. A simpler Chrome extension that downloads Facebook photos into named folders is also available under the Reminiscent name.
Pricing
Free extension. $2.99 once for the desktop app.
The Chrome extension is free forever. The Windows desktop app, the local vault filed by person, is a one-time purchase. No subscription either way.
