What it should do for you
Turn up.
Once, at the moment it’s useful, without being asked.
You are the filing system. That’s the part we think is backwards — it should organise itself around you, not the other way around.
Principles
01 Proactive, not passive Bring you things, don’t store what you filed. 02 No upkeep Context gets gathered, not entered. 03 Privacy first We are not interested in your data. 04 You can always see why Everything traces back to something you said. 05 Calm over flashy No streaks. No badges. No notification it hasn’t earned. 06 Native, not novel Built from the platform, not on top of it. 07 We never say “AI” We’ll tell you what it does. How is our problem.
It stays with you
We’re not being careful with your data. We’ve arranged not to have it.
What we can run on your device, we run on your device. What we can’t, we can’t read.
