What is Vertex?
Vertex is a web archiving and annotation tool that lets users save immutable snapshots of web pages alongside searchable annotations. It solves link-rot by preserving complete page documents (text, images, styles, layout) and allows users to organize saved content into knowledge graphs by connecting related pages with relationship edges.

Frequently asked questions about Vertex
What is link-rot and why does it matter?
Link-rot affects over half of all URLs within a decade as pages are updated, paywalled, or removed without notice. Vertex preserves immutable snapshots to prevent information loss.
How are Vertex snapshots different from screenshots?
Vertex snapshots capture the full page document (text, images, styles, layout) and remain searchable and quotable; screenshots are static images that cannot be searched or linked from.
Can I track how a page changes over time?
Yes—saving multiple snapshots of the same page lets you track its evolution.
How long do snapshots last?
Free tier retains snapshots for 30 days. Upgrade to Pro to keep snapshots permanently.
