If you're a designer, you probably don't need another bookmarking app. 👀
As creatives, we need more than just saving links.
More than just capturing an image we thought looked cool.
We need to see the visual context, add notes about why we saved it, organize findings on boards, present inspiration to clients, collaborate with our team, and actually find things again later.
That's why we exist.
A creative space for turning inspiration into knowledge. 📚
Save websites, interactions, images, files, ideas and more, and turn everything you collect into something you can search, understand, reuse, and build on.
Your inspiration shouldn't just be saved. It should stay useful.
📚 save.design
POV: you found a design-focused platform for your design inspiration, and now you can just type what you remember and find it 🕵️♂️
Save Design lets you search your references by what's actually in the design.

Open this site in December and it starts on snow.

What powers this liquid metal? What makes those page transitions work?
Find the tech behind the effects.
Our analyzer can now tell you what's behind the magic! ✨
🔗 save.design/analyze
The liquid metal is Paper Shaders by @paper, on Adam Perlis's site (@AdamPerlis). The page transitions run on Barba.js (Cyphr's site, by Holographik) and Swup (Quang Dinh's portfolio). It names shadcn/ui now too.
This liquid effect is made from just 8 circles and one function 🫧
@JedBridges built it on jedbridges.com using a shader technique that smoothly blends shapes together.
The function behind it is in the reply 👇
