A new software tool from CogSci Apps called Hook lets you link together web sites, emails, documents, and many other resoures, making it a simple matter to find those resources again later. Open one resource, then use Hook to open any or all of the related resources.

Here’s an exerpt from the Hook web site:

Hook for macOS
Find without searching.
Instantly access the information you need, without searching. Whether it’s in the Finder, email, on the web, in the cloud, a version-control system, … almost anywhere.

Currently available only for Mac, a Windows version is in the early planning stages.

If you have a Mac and want to try Hook, you can download the free version from the Hook Download page.
