You save a link in one tap
Share sheet, paste, or the browser extension. There is no folder prompt and no tag picker, because a prompt at save time is what turns a two-second habit into a decision you eventually stop making.
Everything lands in Inbox until you say otherwise.

Favourl reads the page
The title, description, preview image and source are fetched and stored beside the URL. This is the step browser bookmarks skip, and the reason a browser bookmark from 2019 is a string of characters you cannot identify.
If a page cannot be reached, the bookmark is still saved — you never lose a link to a failed fetch.

It is written to your device
Local storage first, sync second. That ordering is why saving works with no signal, why search never waits on a network round trip, and why an outage on our side does not stop you working.
Sync is a background reconciliation, not a prerequisite.

You find it, months later
Search covers titles, descriptions, sources and your notes. You look for what the thing was about — the way you actually remember it — rather than the exact words in a headline.
Filter by folder or by site when you know roughly where it came from.
Why on-device first is the whole design
Most tools in this category are a web app with an offline mode bolted on, so a weak connection means a spinner and a save you are not sure happened. Favourl treats your device as the source of truth and the server as a copy. The practical difference shows up on a train, on a plane, and on the day the server has a bad hour.
