This guide walks you through everything you need to go from zero to a working personal content library. By the end, you’ll have a Cachd account, your first saves imported, and the browser extension installed so you can capture new content with a single click. The whole process takes about five minutes.

​
Set up your account

1

Go to the Cachd website

Navigate to https://cachd.app and click Get Started or Sign Up to begin creating your account.
2

Sign in with Google

Cachd uses Google OAuth as its sign-in method. Click Continue with Google, select or log in to your Google account, and grant the requested permissions. Your account is created automatically — no separate password needed.
3

Import your first content

Once you’re in, the fastest way to populate your library is to bring in content you’ve already saved elsewhere. You can import browser bookmarks, social saves, and video platform lists. See Importing Content for step-by-step instructions for each source.
4

Explore your Library

Your saves appear in a fast, searchable feed in your Library. Use the search bar to find anything instantly — Cachd indexes the full text of your saves, including text in images via OCR. Smart Collections will begin organizing your content automatically as your library grows.
5

Install the browser extension

To save new pages with one click going forward, install the Cachd browser extension. Once installed, click the Cachd icon in your browser toolbar whenever you find something worth keeping. See Browser Extension for installation instructions.
