Why use InfoFlow as your personal knowledge library
Most useful things you find online are not "articles." They are posts, threads, checklists, product pages, notes, and small ideas. They live inside many apps and many sites. They disappear fast in your daily flow.
InfoFlow is a simple fix: save content when you see it, keep it in one place, read it offline, and find it again later.
A personal knowledge library is not a notes app
A notes app is where you write your own words.
A personal knowledge library is where you keep sources you did not write:
- links you want to keep
- pages you want to read later
- posts you want to keep as proof or reference
- guides you want to follow again
InfoFlow is made for this "save first" job. Your notes and your ideas can stay in your notes app. Your sources stay in InfoFlow.
The real problem is not saving. It is finding later.
People lose content in these places:
- too many browser tabs
- bookmarks with messy folders
- screenshots with no link
- chat messages "sent to myself"
- saved lists inside each app
All of these work for one day. They fail after a week.
A personal library works when it supports two things:
- fast saving
- fast search later
Why InfoFlow fits this job
InfoFlow is a read-later app that can save online content for offline use. That makes it a good base for a personal library.
Practical reasons it works:
1) One place for everything
RedNote links, Reddit threads, blog posts, product pages, and guides all land in the same library.
2) Copy link → paste → saved
Some apps do not share content well. They only offer "Copy link." InfoFlow still works with that.

3) Offline access
Offline matters on flights, in basements, and in bad Wi-Fi places. A library is only useful when it still opens.
4) Less tab chaos
Save the page, close the tab, move on. This keeps your browser clean and your mind clear.
Simple workflow that stays easy
- Save the link while it is open.
- Change the title into words you will search later.
- Add one short line about why it matters.
- Keep going.
This turns random saves into a library you can use months later.
When InfoFlow beats other tools
Many tools in this space are good. The key is picking the right type.
Read-later tools:
Bookmark managers:
Open-source option:
Notes apps (not the same job):
InfoFlow fits best when the main need is saving online content for offline reading and keeping a clean "source library" that you can reuse.
Use cases that match real life
- Learning: save tutorials and guides, then read in batches.
- Work: keep product docs, bug writeups, and research links.
- Buying: save product pages and reviews, then compare later.
