Hi, I'm Jared. I'm a product designer and founder. I've spent a lot of years building for other people's companies. More recently I've started building small, honest tools on the side... the kind that do one thing well, respect your data, and don't charge rent.

arcaeologist is the first one. Here's the context: Arc Browser was acquired by Atlassian, the team pivoted to a new browser called Dia, and while Arc isn't officially shut down, the future of the product is unclear. A lot of us are quietly moving to other browsers and finding that every exporter out there stops at the obvious stuff... pinned tabs, spaces, folders. None of them touch the auto-archived tabs, which for a lot of Arc users is where the real second brain lives. Years of research. Recipes. Job listings from 2023. The essay you meant to read. arcaeologist digs all of that up, runs entirely in your browser, and hands it back in a format every other browser can import.

It's free. It's MIT. That's not going to change.

Why sponsor? Small tools like this exist in the weekends between real work. Sponsorship keeps that runway open, pays for the occasional domain and hosting bill, and signals that this kind of work is worth continuing. Every contribution... $3, $30, or $300... goes directly back into maintaining arcaeologist and starting the next tool like it.

Thanks for reading. If arcaeologist saved you hours of grief, that's payment enough. If you want to pay it forward, I'm grateful.
