Welcome to Morgue
Morgue captures screenshots, palettes, and fonts from anywhere on the web — then keeps them organized on your machine. No accounts. No cloud. No bookmark graveyard.
It's a native macOS app for the people who collect the good stuff: agencies and studios, freelancers, brand and graphic designers, and product and UI designers. You save a reference once, and you can actually find it again three months later.
What makes Morgue different
- Local-first. Your entire library lives on your own machine in a plain folder you control — not on someone else's server. There's no account to create and nothing syncing in the background.
- More than bookmarks. When you capture a web page, Morgue brings its fonts and color palette along with it automatically, so a screenshot isn't just a picture — it's a searchable reference.
- Built to stay findable. Folders, tags, color search, and a duplicate finder keep a large library navigable instead of becoming a junk drawer.
- Moodboards built in. Pull references onto an infinite-canvas board, connect them with arrows, draw on them, and export the result.
What you can save
| Type | What it is |
|---|---|
| Images | Screenshots — visible screen, full page, or a region you select. |
| Palettes | Color palettes, auto-extracted from captures or built by hand. |
| Fonts | Typefaces detected on a page, or browsed from your library. |
Everything is captured through a small browser extension that talks to the app, or added directly inside Morgue.
