Questions, answered.

A browser extension that saves whole windows. One click captures every tab, group, and window into a session in your Journal. From there you can shelve it, tag it, note it, plan around it, and reopen any of it later: the whole window, one group, or a single page. Close the window. Keep everything.

No. Corvie runs fully signed out, and the free app is the full app: Journal, Planner, Shelves, search, backups. Accounts exist only for Pro, which adds sync (with end-to-end encryption) and much more powerful and speedier hosted AI.

Chrome and Firefox today, Safari on the way. Each install keeps its own local library, so saves in Chrome won't appear in Firefox unless Pro syncs them, or you carry them over with a backup file.

Other Chromium browsers such as Edge, Brave, and Arc can usually run the Chrome build, but Chrome is what we test on, and the free built-in AI is Chrome only.

Not yet. Corvie lives on desktop today, with Safari on the way. iPhone, iPad, and Android are on the roadmap.

Nothing, until you say so. Saving copies the window into your Journal: every tab, every group, in order. Your open tabs stay open; close them whenever you're ready, and reopen any of it later.

The link, plus everything around it: title, favicon, tab order, groups, pinned state, and any notes, tags, and to-dos you add. Corvie doesn't snapshot page content, which keeps it fast and private, but a page that vanishes from the web vanishes for corvie too. If you want the contents read, Pro's AI can follow your saved URLs and read the live pages while it organizes. This is really helpful for getting better notes (and improves groupings/names of tab groups).

Corvie captures real web pages. Browser settings screens, extension pages, and the web store are internal pages the browser keeps off limits, so they're skipped. Private and incognito windows are never captured. Everything else comes along: every tab, in order, groups intact.

Installing corvie points new tabs at your library, so your saves are always one tab away. On Chrome it's a switch: Settings · General · "New tabs open Corvie" turns it off. On Firefox the new-tab page ships with the extension; Firefox asks you to confirm the change the first time, and its own settings can restore the default.

Not yet. Corvie loads its own backup files in one click, but there's no importer for other tools today. If that's the one thing holding you back, tell us at support@corvie.app; it helps us order the roadmap.

Chrome ships Gemini Nano, a local model built into the browser, and corvie taps it right on your device: grouping pages, taking notes, tagging and shelving each session as you save. Nothing leaves your machine, and nobody pays for a server, which is why it costs nothing.

Firefox and Safari don't ship a built-in model that extensions can use, so free on-device organizing isn't possible there.

Honestly, it's the most private option, and the most frustrating one. The model is small enough to live inside Chrome and run on your hardware, which is exactly what makes it free and keeps every byte on your machine. But it is a tiny model with a very small context window, and it is slow enough to notice. It's not uncommon for it to fail following instructions, or to do a truly half-hearted job at something. If you find it underperforming, consider joining Pro!

By the way, the model only speaks English, and the first time you switch it on, Chrome downloads the model before it can work.

Stronger hosted models, in every browser. They write sharper titles, notes, and tags than the local one; they can follow your saved URLs and read the pages, so grouping/notes are never superficial; and they can revisit and re-organize older saves as your library grows. They are significantly faster and can handle much larger browsing sessions.

Hosted requests run on Google Gemini, with fair-use limits that we don't expect normal use to touch. Reach out to support@corvie.app if you do hit them.

No. AI is off by default and stays off until you switch it on. With it off, corvie downloads nothing, runs nothing, and sends nothing; saving is just saving. You can also leave it off globally and enrich a single session on demand whenever you're curious.

Free: in your browser's local storage. It never leaves your machine, and corvie's servers never see it. Pro: your library syncs through corvie's servers as ciphertext, encrypted on your device before it leaves.

No. Corvie looks at your tabs at exactly one moment: when you click save. There's no background recording and no history harvesting. The permissions it requests at install are the ones saving needs: reading tab titles and URLs, tab groups, and favicons, plus sign-in for Pro accounts.

Your library is encrypted on your device with a key derived from a passphrase only you know. The servers store ciphertext; corvie's servers cannot read your library. Your passphrase never leaves your devices, and setup hands you a recovery code as a second way in.

There are two different "corvies" here, and the encryption sits between them. The corvie app running in your browser can read everything you've saved — that's the point. It decrypts your library on your device so it can show it, search it, and organize it, the same way your phone can show you your own photos. What can't read your library is everything on our side of the wire: corvie's servers store only ciphertext, and we hold no keys. So when we say corvie can't read your library, we mean us — the company and its servers — never the app in your hands.

The one exception is the one you trigger yourself: run hosted AI, and the specific items you selected are decrypted on your device and sent to the model for that request, as described above.

Unlock with your recovery code. If you lose both, nobody can decrypt your synced data, corvie included: that is the honest cost of real end-to-end encryption. You can always start fresh and restore from an exported backup file.

Export a backup first: one click in Settings produces a file you can load into any corvie, on any browser. Free libraries live only in the browser, and uninstalling the extension deletes them with it, so that file is your safety net. It's plain, readable JSON; keep it somewhere you trust. Pro libraries also live encrypted in the cloud; signing in and unlocking brings everything back.

Only what you send it, when you run it. A request carries the titles, URLs, and notes involved (and page contents, if you ask Pro to follow URLs) to the model provider, Google Gemini, for that one answer. Nothing runs in the background, and the rest of your library stays encrypted. The privacy policy has the full detail.

$5.99 a month. No trial needed: the core app is free forever and AI is free on Chrome, so you can live in corvie before paying for anything. Cancel anytime.

Currently, up to 6, but if that is too limiting for you, reach out to support@corvie.app. Corvie syncs when it opens and when it saves rather than holding a live connection, so a change made on one machine appears when corvie next opens or refreshes on the other.

Pro's Planner can connect Google Calendar with read-only access. Your events appear beside your cards as view-only badges; corvie never adds, edits, or deletes anything on your calendar. Toggle calendars, recolor them, or disconnect anytime in Settings.

Cancel anytime from Settings · Profile · Manage billing, which opens your Stripe billing portal. Pro runs to the end of the period you've paid for; payments aren't refunded for partial periods. Canceling deletes nothing: sync and hosted AI pause, and the free app keeps working. Your last successfully synced, encrypted cloud copy remains available as a read-only download from your account, subject to the deletion and retention terms in our Privacy Policy.

We keep billing simple: there are no refunds — cancellation is the tool, and it's always one click away. Cancel whenever you like and Pro stays on until the end of the period you've already paid for, you're never charged again, and nothing you saved goes anywhere. And because the free app is the full app, you can live in corvie as long as you like before spending anything, so you never have to pay just to find out whether it fits.

Yes. Corvie accounts support two-step verification with authenticator apps. Set it up from your account page; you can register up to five apps, and changing them always requires signing in again.

Both live in Settings. Delete your cloud data and keep the account, or delete the account outright: synced library, billing records, everything. Deletions stick, even if a server backup is later restored. And support@corvie.app reaches a human who can help.
