What is Histre?

Histre is a tool for organizing and managing internet research, ideas, and team knowledge. It combines annotating, highlighting, collecting, summarizing, searching, and sharing into a single workspace, with the goal of making research smoother, improving decision-making, and strengthening team collaboration.

Privacy is part of the pitch: Histre states it never sells your data to third parties, lets you delete your data at any time, and backs this up with a privacy policy.

Histre offers both free and paid plans. Basic features are available for free, with a pro subscription for more advanced capabilities.
