What inspired you to build this? What problem were you trying to solve? How did your approach evolve? I started using a bunch of AI tools at the same time. Claude, Copilot, Codex, ChatGPT, even their CLI tools. Whatever worked best for what I was doing. But pretty quickly, everything got messy. My ideas were all over the place. Some in chats, some in terminals, some just gone. I kept having to repeat myself or lost stuff I already figured out. That’s what made me start building this. It wasn’t that the tools were bad. It was that my memory didn’t go with me. There wasn’t one place where my thinking actually lived and grew over time. At first, I thought I just needed a better notes app. But that wasn’t it. As I worked on it, I realized the real problem was continuity. My thinking kept resetting every time I switched tools. So I shifted to building something that keeps track of that. A memory layer that holds onto context and lets me pick up where I left off, no matter what tool I’m using. The goal is simple. Stop starting over. Start building on what I already know. And over time, that doesn’t just mean text. It could be notes, images, whatever I capture, all connected and easy to find again.
