So this would save every page I visit, including when I'm logged in to private services (email, bank, etc), to somewhere in the cloud I can't control?

Is there any client-side encryption done? If so, where is the publicly auditable code? And how does the search work? It fetches everything and decrypt it for each single query?

The idea is very good, but this should not be done in the cloud, it has to be done locally, and potentially securely synchronized among different machines.

EDIT: Okay it's not mentioned on the landing page, but there is an option to use it locally. Cool!

EDIT2: hey downvoters, when I read "Your cloud data is visible only to you. You can optionally install fetching as an application on your computer." I assumed that the app was a client for the cloud service that was distinct from the web interface usable in a browser. This is a totally legit interpretation, especially when the next title is "It's accessible from anywhere". I don't see why it is wrong in that case to raise the privacy concerns that I mentioned. I cared enough to continue investigating and found on an other page that the product can actually be used locally. I then edited my comment (maybe 4 or 5 minutes later) in accordance with that new knowledge. Knowing that the concern I raised are still valid for users who would chose to use it with the cloud, what does your downvotes mean?
