About

The Starchive — Bookmarks that never die

Web pages disappear, change, or go behind paywalls—The Starchive captures them before that happens. The tool renders pages in a real browser engine before saving, preserving JavaScript-heavy sites, dynamic content, and styling exactly as they appeared to a visitor rather than delivering a stripped-down text scrape. Users archive pages through a one-click browser extension available for Chrome and Firefox, clicking the extension on the page they're already viewing without copy-pasting URLs. The extension can capture pages behind a login, saving them exactly as they appear when signed in rather than showing a logged-out wall. Every archive is indexed for full-text search the moment it's saved, allowing users to search across their entire library and locate specific text in milliseconds. Archives can be organized into nested folders for cases, clients, projects, or research trails, keeping libraries navigable as they grow. The platform generates share links when a colleague, client, or opposing counsel needs to see a specific archive without gaining access to the account itself. Archives remain accessible even after original pages change or vanish. The Starchive positions itself for IT professionals, DevOps teams, sysadmins, developers, knowledge workers, legal professionals, journalists, and researchers—described as anyone who can't afford "it used to be there." Security features include TOTP-based two-factor authentication through any authenticator app without SMS, a complete audit trail logging every save, view, share, and sign-in, and archives synced across redundant, load-balanced nodes to prevent a single server failure from blocking access to a library. Pricing includes 5GB of storage starting at $5 per month, with additional storage available at $5 per month per 5GB with no upper limit. All plans include full-fidelity capture, full-text search, folders, secure sharing, two-factor authentication, usage statistics, dashboards, and self-serve billing through Stripe. Card details never touch the company's servers. No credit card is required to start a trial.
