A vasculum is the tin a botanist carried on a walk. Whatever was picked went in, lay on a damp cloth, and was sorted at the press that evening. Vasculum does the same for what you find on your phone and in your browser. A page, a Facebook post, a TikTok or a YouTube video goes in with one tap. A few minutes later the library holds its text, or the transcript of what was said in the video, a short summary and keywords in Vietnamese and English, and a suggested Folder. Later you search in either language, open the item, or ask the library a question and get an answer that names the items it came from.
A library for what you find online
Vasculum
The pages, posts and short videos you save, kept with what they said, in Vietnamese and English.
Free · Web, Android, Chrome · Vietnamese and English
§01 / The idea
What you pick up on the way should still be fresh in the evening.
§02 / What it does · 08 lines
Eight things it does today, one by one.
From the Chrome toolbar or the right-click menu: save the page, the text you selected, a link or an image. A save made offline is sent when you are back.
On Android, share to Vasculum from any app. On the web, paste links or write a note, or bring in the bookmark file your browser exports.
A post from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Pinterest or YouTube keeps its picture and, if it is a video, the transcript of what was said, in Vietnamese or English.
Every item gets a short summary and keywords in Vietnamese and English, written once by AI. Search matches those keywords in either language.
Ask your library a question. The answer names the items it came from.
Highlight a passage in a saved page and come back to it later.
Nested Folders, with one suggested for each new item. A search you run often can be kept.
A snapshot of each page as it was when you saved it. PDFs, pictures and text files can be kept as well.
§03 / Privacy
Your library is shown to you and to no one else.
There are no advertisements, no analytics and no tracking, and nothing is sold. What leaves the server is listed here and in the privacy policy. Anthropic, in the United States, receives an item’s text and pictures and your questions while the AI is on for your account; it keeps them for up to 30 days, longer only for content it flags for safety, and the AI can be turned off for your account. Resend, in the United States, delivers the mail that verifies your address or resets your password. Speech in videos is transcribed on the server itself and sent to no one, and the video is not kept: its sound is fetched to be transcribed and deleted once it is. Delete your account and everything it held goes at once: library, files, AI output, questions, sessions. Backups keep a copy for up to 30 days, then it is gone. Export your whole library whenever you like, as files you can open anywhere. Questions about your data get an answer within two working days.
§04 / Get started
Start with the next thing you would otherwise lose.
Make an account on the web with an email or a Google or GitHub account. Add the extension or the Android app. The first video you save comes back with its transcript.
