Anchor · Memory Canvas

Anchor is a lightweight app for capturing passing thoughts. Write a few lines, then choose a word or phrase from your text as the anchor. A fleeting feeling, a familiar object, or a thought you cannot fully explain yet can stay attached to that word. When it returns to you later, add another entry and let the anchor grow over time. Your anchors live on a visual canvas that you can pan and zoom. Move them into place, connect related anchors, and follow mentions of other anchor names from one entry to the next. Features: • Create an anchor from words selected in your first entry • Add more entries to the same anchor over time • Pan, zoom, and arrange points on a visual canvas • Connect related anchors into a personal trail of thoughts • Keep multiple independent canvases • Choose standard dates or write free-form dates and contexts • Archive, restore, or permanently delete anchors • Import and export canvas files • Choose from five canvas themes • Learn gestures in a separate interactive practice canvas Anchor requires no account or sign-in. It contains no ads, analytics, or tracking. Your canvases and settings stay on your device. The system file interface is opened only when you explicitly choose to import or export a canvas.
