Looks like a pretty decent OFFLINE BROWSER to save anything you are keen to see on the net even when you are offline.

Can capture entire web pages, text, images and even selected text from WORD & PDF files with no hassle, with the ability to edit, mark and organize them once you are offline.

So overall it's a perfect tool for people like me that perform deep searches on the web on a daily basis and want to create a sort of "digital library" on whatsoever topic, by using a crappy slow connection or an expensive fee based on the amount of data you transfer (e.g. 3G/GPRS/DSL/CDMA/Satellite Internet Service) or on a monthly download limit.

All info can be retrieved easily and quickly, since all capture stuff is organized by tree structure, not to mention that users can find any articles saved in their offline library according to their date, title, URL, keyword, or notes.

THUMBS UP from me!!

Does this mean I would spend 40 bucks for an app like this??

Of course NOT, otherwise why call me "KING OF FREEBIES?? It doesn't make sense, does it?? LOL!!!

It only works with Internet Explorer, so its not going to be of use to anybody who uses a different browser. I'll just stick to Evernote which does the same job, works on all major browsers and allows you to sync your notes between computers.

Post 4 - Souter Johnny. Under help you can install the Chrome, Safari or Firefox extensions.

Downloaded, installed and registered (without needing email address) on Win 7 64 bit.

A useful tool if you need to physically download webpages for future reference, ie an interesting news article which could be much harder to find later. It's easy to use, in Chrome I just click the extension icon, save the page and it downloads, you have it saved locally.
You can password protect your knowledge base too.
My verdict, it's useful for me so I'll keep it. Thank you.

Re #4, It DOES work with other browsers, not only with IE. See

Whilst I think CaptureSaver would be useful if it would also search through your existing files' tags and contents, e.g. referring to "iguanas", so that relevant items these could be incorporated into a knowledge base, the program doesn't presently appear to offer anything useful (to me) that isn't provided via free browser plug-ins.

A recent if brief review, appears here

FWIW, the 4/5 star CNET review of CaptureSaver...

"CaptureSaver helps you to manage clips pulled from the Web, but we found browsing the stored clips to be an arduous task.

The program's two-part, utilitarian window is easy to operate and includes preloaded samples and a demo video. Folders and subfolders can easily be created and stored in the left-hand tree structure. The program captures screenshots of Web pages, selected texts, images, active windows, and even a specific section of the screen. You can also add comments to every clip. Users will appreciate the drag-and-drop feature for quickly arranging clippings. The inclusion of search and password features is a nice addition. CaptureSaver will let you print and import images, but you can't export information.

On the downside, the built-in viewer for viewing stored clippings took a while to load the images. We also would have like to have seen the integration of popular browsers like Mozilla and IE. Nonetheless, this program's 25-day trial is ample time for casual bloggers and students to appreciate this program's organizational capabilities."

...dates from 2009.
