Save Vault for Mac & Windows

Store your saved pages in local knowledge bases. Connect them to Claude or ChatGPT. All on your computer, private by default.

v1.1.2 · Universal · Apple Silicon + Intel

## what it does

A local vault, made for your knowledge.

01

Local knowledge bases

Pages you save from the Chrome extension land in organized folders on your computer. Open them as an Obsidian vault or any markdown editor.

02

Connect to your AI

Save Vault includes an MCP server. Turn it on, and Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or ChatGPT (Pro and above) can search your saved pages before answering questions.

03

Private by default

Your saved pages stay on your computer. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is synced to our servers. You own your knowledge base.

## questions

Questions

Q1 Is it signed and notarized?

Save Vault is distributed outside the Mac App Store. On first launch, macOS may show a warning asking you to confirm. Right-click the app and select "Open" to bypass it on the first run.

Q2 Where are my saved pages stored?

Everything lives under ~/Documents/Save Vault/ as plain markdown files organized by knowledge base. You can open them with any editor — Obsidian, VS Code, Bear, iA Writer, or any markdown app.

Q3 How do I connect it to Claude or ChatGPT?

Open the Save Vault menu bar icon. For Claude, toggle "Connect to Claude" and Save Vault writes the MCP config automatically. For ChatGPT, enable the connector and paste the URL into ChatGPT → Settings → Apps & Connectors (Pro plan required).

Q4 Which operating systems are supported?

macOS 13+ and Windows 11 22H2+, both officially supported. The Windows build is currently in beta — fully functional, still stabilizing.

Q5 How do I uninstall it?

Quit Save Vault from the menu bar, then drag the app from Applications to Trash. Your saved pages in ~/Documents/Save Vault/ stay put — remove them manually if you want a clean slate.
