This roster is live. Search it, filter it, click a collection — it behaves exactly like the extension, because the claim is easier to check than to read.
The good ones end up in a folder called Later.
You save a link. Six months later you have a URL, no name, no skills, no rate, and no memory of why they mattered.
A bookmark
keeps the URL and drops everything that made it findable — the name, the skills, the software, the rate, and the reason you saved it.
A spreadsheet
keeps whatever you type, which is why it is complete for about three weeks and then quietly stops being true.
Your history
forgets faster than you do. Ninety days, and the one profile you needed went with the other four thousand.
One click, five fields
Find. Save. Find again.
Nothing changes about how you browse — only what you keep. Scroll, and watch a profile move.

A capable free extension.
No upsell, no subscription, no tier above this one. One capability matters more than the rest, so it is not the same size as the rest.
One click keeps the whole profile, not the address.
Name, bio, skills, software, rate, availability and links — read from the page you are already looking at, on seven platforms, in a single action. Everything else in Artkive exists to make this worth doing.
Search and filter
Instant local search across name, bio, skills, software and location, with filters for platform, skill, country, rating and rate.
Jobs pipeline
Move artists through Selection, Contacted, Interview, Test Task and Signed on a board inside the extension.
Inspiration board
Drag in reference images, grab them from the right-click menu or the batch picker, or screenshot the tab you’re on.
Website bookmarks
Save a page with its title, favicon and a local screenshot, plus the colour palette and typography pulled from it.
Tags that write themselves
Offline heuristics tag every save. Add your own Anthropic key and AI suggestions arrive pending approval — never auto-applied.
Ratings and rates
Star artists one to five and record hourly or daily rates, normalised to USD per hour so filters actually compare.
Export anytime
Your roster exports to JSON and re-imports by profile URL, keeping the tags and notes you added locally.
Tuned per platform.
Capture is not one scraper pointed at seven sites. Each one exposes different fields, so each one is read differently.
Reference images and page bookmarks work on any site. One-click profile capture is tuned per platform, so it reads the fields each one actually exposes.
Private by architecture, not by promise.
A promise is a sentence someone can change their mind about. This is a drawing of where your roster can go, and the drawing has no exit.
No account, no server, no analytics
Your roster lives in your browser’s local database and nowhere else. There is no backend that could receive it.
It asks for access to all sites at install
Chrome shows you that warning. It’s the honest cost of a side panel that can capture whatever tab you’re on, and we’d rather name it than bury it.
That access is only used when you act
Nothing is read in the background. The script that runs on its own is limited to the seven supported platforms, independent of the permission above.
Screenshots never leave the device
Pages you bookmark are captured and downscaled locally, then stored in your browser. They are never uploaded.
One optional outbound path
Supply your own Anthropic API key and profile text goes to api.anthropic.com for tag suggestions. Off by default, and yours to revoke.
Bookmark, spreadsheet, or Artkive.
| Capability | Bookmark | Spreadsheet | Artkive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keeps the whole profile | No | If you type it | Yes |
| Searchable by skill or software | No | Sort of | Yes |
| Captures rate and availability | No | If you type it | Yes |
| Fills itself in | — | No | Yes |
| Stays on your device | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Scroll the table sideways to compare all three.
Questions, answered.
The short version of everything people ask before installing.
Is it free?
Yes, and it stays free. There is no paid tier, no trial and nothing to subscribe to.
Which sites does one-click capture work on?
ArtStation, Behance, Dribbble, Cara, The Rookies, Coroflot and Vimeo. Reference images and page bookmarks work on any page.
Why does it need access to every website?
The capture tools run from a side panel that stays open as you move between tabs, and Chrome’s per-click permission never reaches the tab you’re looking at from there. Granting it at install is what makes capture work first time.
Where does my data actually live?
In your browser’s local storage, on the machine you saved it from. Nothing syncs, because there is nothing to sync to.
Can I get my data back out?
Export the whole roster to JSON whenever you like. Re-importing merges by profile URL and keeps the tags and notes you added.
