More room for
your next idea.
On iPhone Duo, keep your latest clips, search results, or chat alongside the reader. The adaptive layout also feels at home on iPhone and iPad.
A real Markdown reader
Read headings, tables, code, tasks, and local images. Open PDF attachments in native Quick Look.
Keep reading offline
Read cached clips and search downloaded text without a connection. Recent clips and App Shortcuts keep useful sources close.
Optional · local Apple Intelligence
Ask your archive.
Keep it on device.
Ask about the clip you are reading or explore indexed excerpts from your archive. Apple’s on-device model streams answers with source links you can open and check.
- Local inference, with no external AI service or Private Cloud Compute
- No AI API key or separate AI subscription required
- Source links back to the referenced clip and paragraph
- Your Markdown and Git history stay under your control
Chat requires iOS/iPadOS 26+, supported hardware, enabled Apple Intelligence, and an available model in a supported language. Answers use selected excerpts; search coverage depends on downloaded content. Reader and search remain available without AI.
One durable pipeline
From open tab to usable knowledge.
Capture clients choose the strongest available source, prepare it, and commit the result directly to the repository you control.
Capture
Start from Chrome or the iPhone share sheet. Add tags and your own notes before anything is written.
Prepare
Use source-specific adapters, normalize links, preserve metadata, and keep relevant images beside the document.
Weave
Commit Markdown and assets to GitHub, then retrieve them from iPhone, ChatGPT, or Codex without surrendering ownership.
Source-aware by design
Clean input creates useful archives.
SourceBraid does not treat every page as generic HTML. It follows an ordered adapter chain and uses the richest trustworthy format first.
Full papers, not abstract bookmarks
SourceBraid prefers arXiv HTML, preserving sections, formulas, citations, figures, and paper metadata. PDF conversion is the fallback.
Tables, OCR, and figures included
Original PDFs stay with the archive while Docling turns reading order, tables, OCR text, and extracted figures into portable Markdown.
Structured content before page chrome
The WordPress REST API is used when available, so navigation, banners, and unrelated layout do not pollute the saved article.
A best-source adapter chain
Native Markdown, wikis, Gists, feeds, and dedicated publishing APIs take priority before a careful DOM fallback is used.
arXiv HTML → Azure DevOps Wiki → GitHub Gist→ Native Markdown → WordPress REST→ feeds → clean DOM fallback
Local-first architecture
Your archive is the product.
SourceBraid has no central content store. Markdown and Git history remain the source of truth; the SQLite search index is only a cache that can be rebuilt at any time.
- Fine-grained GitHub access scoped to one private repository
- Incremental full-text indexing using Git blob SHAs
- Preview and exact confirmation before deletion
- Original PDFs preserved alongside converted Markdown

Questions, answered
Before you start weaving.
What is new for iPhone Duo?
Version 1.1.0 adds an adaptive layout that places Latest, Search, or Chat beside the Markdown reader on wider displays. It also adds offline reading and search for downloaded clips, PDF previews, and read-only App Shortcuts. Duo hinge adaptation requires iOS 27.1. The release is on GitHub; the App Store update is awaiting Apple review.
Does Apple Intelligence send my archive to an AI service?
SourceBraid’s optional iPhone chat uses Apple’s on-device system model. It sends no content to an external AI service or Private Cloud Compute. GitHub is still used to download your archive. Chat needs supported hardware, iOS/iPadOS 26 or later, enabled Apple Intelligence, and an available model in a supported language.
Does SourceBraid host my archive?
No. Capture clients write directly to the private GitHub repository you configure. The project does not operate a central content service.
Why not keep ordinary bookmarks?
Bookmarks depend on the source staying available and searchable. SourceBraid keeps a readable Markdown representation, provenance, metadata, and relevant assets under your control.
How are PDFs handled?
The original PDF is committed first. A GitHub Action uses Docling to produce Markdown, OCR text, tables, and figures while retaining the source file beside the result.
Is Android supported?
Not in the first release. The Android share target is intentionally waiting for community feedback so effort follows real demand.
On iPhone. On Duo. In your hands.
