From “I saved that somewhere” to an answer with sources.
A real native library
Scan visually. Work precisely.
Switch between dense lists and visual grids. Sort by the original post date, select in bulk, drag bookmarks into folders or labels, and keep the preview open only when you need it.
- Incremental and full X bookmark sync
- Folders, colored labels, favorites, archive, and rules
- Fast local full-text and semantic retrieval
- Media, quotes, threads, articles, and external links
A focused start
Know what deserves attention today.
Today turns a growing archive into a calm review runway. See what is unread, jump into search or Ask, and work through fresh bookmarks without reopening the timeline.
- Daily review queue built from your local library
- Clear sync status and bookmark counts
- Fast paths to Reader, Search, and Ask
- Designed for review instead of endless scrolling
Reader, not a tweet modal
Read the whole idea in the right format.
Open posts, articles, threads, quotes, links, and media in a dedicated Reader. AI Summary and enriched thread context stay available in a side panel without taking over the page.
- Article, thread, quote, media, and link-aware layouts
- Inline media and full-screen video controls
- AI Summary and enriched thread context
- Labels, folders, notes, and related bookmarks in place
Ask your own archive
Answers grounded in what you actually saved.
Talon retrieves relevant bookmarks locally, streams the answer, and keeps citations linked to the original reader. Run multiple chat threads without mixing their context.
- Provider choice instead of lock-in
- Editable system, summary, thread, and labeling prompts
- Codex and Grok subscription integrations when available
- Ollama and OpenAI-compatible local endpoints
Local-first by architecture
No Talon server sits between your library and your tools.
Bookmarks, notes, labels, chat history, and search indexes live in a local SQLite database. Tokens and provider keys are stored in macOS Keychain.
You bring an X developer app for bookmark access. For AI, use a provider API key, a local Ollama-compatible server, or one of the supported subscription sign-ins.
Two ways to use Talon
Choose convenience in the cloud or control on your Mac.
Talon for Mac 1.1.0
Own the app. Keep the library.
Start free with up to 30 bookmarks. Upgrade once for an unlimited license usable on your Macs. Version 1 updates are included, and Stripe verifies every activation.
Before you buy
Clear answers, including the constraints.
Does Talon for Mac require talon.im?
No. The native app connects directly from your Mac to X and your chosen AI provider. Talon Cloud is a separate hosted product.
Do I need an X developer account?
Yes. You configure an X OAuth 2.0 app with talon://oauth/x
as its callback URL. X controls API availability, limits, and account eligibility.
Is an AI subscription required?
No. Core organization and search work without AI. AI features support provider API keys, Ollama/local compatible servers, and supported Codex or Grok subscription sign-ins.
What happens to my data?
Your library stays in a local SQLite database and credentials stay in macOS Keychain. You can export your bookmarks and media whenever you want.
What does the purchase include?
The purchase unlocks unlimited bookmarks on your personal Macs and includes all version 1 updates. A future paid major upgrade, if any, will be optional.
I already purchased Talon. How do I activate this version?
Enter the email used at checkout in the purchase-recovery form above. Talon emails a reusable signed license for version 1, including purchases made before the free edition launched.
How does the free edition work?
It includes the complete local app and every organization, reading, search, and AI feature for up to 30 bookmarks. Talon never deletes existing data when the limit is reached; unlimited sync resumes immediately after activation.
How do I get support?
Email support@talon.im. Messages go directly to the Talon support inbox.
