Ask HN: Suggest a name for a website archival app?

Posted by busymom0 on Monday June 23, 2025 @07:38PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I am giving final touches to an app which is a 100% local website archival solution. With one click, it locally archives the webpage into various formats including markdown, PDF, full-page size image, HTML and webarchive formats. You can sign-in in the app to the websites and then it will archive with your signed in account. It has support for queuing multiple webpages to be archived, and can run an Apple Shortcuts after the job finishes.

I had picked a (what I thought) clever name previously but today, I found out that 2 companies are in active litigation regarding that name's trademark. So, I can't use that name.

Can you suggest a few names for such an app?

may be mixes of words will be a pointer into the forest:

archiAPP, storedesk, biblibapp, archangel, parch - personal archiver

you can also check on acronyms. You may find some akronym-generators online.

Maybe you can find a clever variation or combination on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettelkasten but there's a couple of websites with the name already.

ColdML H(o)tML for websites -> ColdML when archived. Also, connotations of cold storage, deep freeze preservation etc.
