Refind uses your own AI to discover content tailored to your unique taste. No accounts, no tracking, no algorithms deciding for you. Your data never leaves your browser.
Your attention is the most valuable resource on the internet. Large platforms control which content reaches you, shaping your worldview through engagement-driven algorithms.
Platforms optimize for engagement, not for what's genuinely valuable to you. You only see what keeps you scrolling.
To personalize your feed, platforms track everything you do. Your browsing data becomes their business model.
Independent creators, niche blogs, and quality long-form content never surface because they don't play the algorithm game.
Refind runs entirely in your browser. Your AI builds your profile, matches content locally, and no personal data ever reaches our servers.
From open tabs and bookmarks, your chosen AI builds a natural-language taste profile and generates matching keywords — all processed locally in your browser, never sent to us.
Your browser fetches public topic tags from our backend, then matches them against your keywords locally. Our server never sees your keywords or profile — only generic tag names to retrieve articles.
Open the side panel to a personalized feed. Like, dislike, and favorite articles to teach your AI. Your profile evolves daily — getting smarter without ever sharing your data.
Unlike every other recommendation service, Refind's backend is a dumb content server. It crawls public sources and serves articles — that's it. All intelligence lives in your browser, powered by your own AI key. Our server literally cannot know who you are or what you're interested in.
Your taste profile, browsing signals, keywords, and preferences are stored in Chrome's local storage. Never uploaded.
Profile building uses your own API key with your chosen provider. We never see your key or your AI conversations.
Our backend only receives generic tag names like "machine learning" — it cannot reconstruct your interests or identity.
Every feature is designed around one principle: you own your attention and your data.
Answer a few taste questions, add your AI key, and Refind immediately reads your open tabs to build your first taste profile. No accounts, no email, no sign-up.
Not just keywords — your taste profile is a nuanced, natural-language description of what kind of thinking, tone, and depth you value. It auto-evolves as you browse.
Your AI generates matching keywords once per day. These keywords match article tags entirely in your browser — no LLM calls for content matching, no ongoing AI costs.
Dislike an article and a banner offers three actions: block a specific tag, remove a matching keyword from your profile, or just hide this one article. Undo anytime. Full control, no surprises.
Works with Gemini, Groq, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, SiliconFlow, Claude, OpenAI, and Chrome Built-in AI. Six providers offer generous free tiers — zero cost to get started.
See and edit your taste profile directly — interests, description, matching keywords, blocked tags. Change anything, rebuild when you want. No black box algorithms.
Save articles, like or dislike content, and your AI learns from every interaction. Your profile rebuilds daily at midnight, incorporating all your signals.
Our backend crawls a diverse pool of high-quality sources around the clock. You get the content — we never get your data.
Hacker News, TechCrunch, The Verge, Ars Technica, WIRED, engineering blogs from Meta, Google, Netflix, GitHub, Cloudflare, Stripe, and more.
OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind, Hugging Face, NVIDIA, Simon Willison, Lilian Weng — stay at the frontier of AI research and industry.
36Kr, Huxiu, Caixin, Zhihu, Bilibili, NetEase, Guancha — comprehensive Chinese tech, finance, and general news coverage.
Reuters, Bloomberg-style coverage, cryptocurrency news, stock market analysis, and international affairs from Buzzing and other aggregators.
We built Refind because we believe content discovery should work for readers, not advertisers.
We don't collect personal information — not your name, email, browsing history, or interests. Our backend is a public content server, nothing more.
Your taste profile is visible and editable. You see exactly what your AI thinks about you, and you can change it anytime. No black boxes.
We don't sell your attention. No ads, no promoted content, no "sponsored" recommendations. You pay your AI provider directly (most have free tiers).
Your agent finds content from 95+ independent sources that big platforms would never surface. Every topic gets a fair chance, not just what's trending.
Install the Chrome extension, bring your own AI key (6 free options), and let Refind start working for you.
