Turn it on
Similar is a Beta on Mac. It runs a model on your Mac, so the first time it downloads the model and reads your library once.
Select a capture and press ⇧⌘\, or click Similar at the top of the Info pane.
Click Turn on. The model downloads, then Resurf reads your library. Progress shows in the tab.
Once it's read, the tab shows captures like this one, closest first.
Use the Similar tab
Click a cover to open it. ⌥-click opens it beside, and ⌘-click picks it.
Narrow with the pills at the top, such as Notes or Images.
Hover a cover to see what the two share, such as the same site or a tag.
At the foot, click Show all in library to see them in the library, or Select to pick several.
When several of these are in a space this capture isn't in, the tab offers to Add it there.
Other ways in
- Find similar. Right-click a capture. The library shows a Similar to chip with the closest captures first. Remove the chip to go back.

- Might belong in. At the end of a space, captures from elsewhere that fit. Hover one and click +, or click Add all.
