We wanted our software back. Productivity software used to be fairly simple. You wrote things down. You made a list. You kept a calendar. You sent an email. Over time, those pieces moved into different applications, different accounts and different subscriptions. Then AI arrived, and suddenly every product wanted an assistant in every corner of the screen. We think there's a better way. MySamantha is a personal workspace. Notes. Tasks. Journal. Email. Calendar. Meetings. One place where the pieces of your day can exist close enough to work together. Samantha lives inside it. When you want help, Samantha can search, remember, summarize, create and act across the information and services you choose to connect. But MySamantha does not depend on Samantha to exist. AI should be invited. We believe AI is one of the most useful technologies being built. We also believe there are moments when the best interface is an empty page. So we made AI optional. Turn it off. Write by yourself. Plan by yourself. Journal privately. Turn it on when you want another pair of hands. Your workspace should outlive your model. Today's best AI won't always be tomorrow's best AI. MySamantha is designed around that reality. Change models. Bring your own key. Use supported AI access you already have. Or use none. Your workspace stays. Built for control, not dependence. Good personal software should help you think without deciding how you have to think. That's what we're building.

LaterBox — the quickest way to capture your thoughts. LaterBox is your personal space to save anything - notes, links, photos, videos, voice memos, documents, locations, and contacts. Everything is organized into threads, or scraps, so you can keep different topics separate and find things fast. THREADS & NOTES Create threads for any topic. Drop in text, links, images, videos, voice recordings, audio files, documents, locations, or contacts. Pin important notes to the top. Star the ones that matter. Lock sensitive notes behind biometrics. LaterBox auto-generates link previews so you can see what you saved at a glance. SCRAPBOOKS Go beyond lists. Scrapbooks give you an infinite canvas to arrange text, images, shapes, audio, and freehand drawings. Draw connections between ideas, group related items, and organize visually. Resize, rotate, and layer items however you want. Undo/redo keeps things safe. LaterBox WEB Access your notes and file from any browser on your local network. Visit laterbox.org, scan the QR code, and your phone serves your notes directly to the browser over WiFi. UNCOMPRESSED FILE SHARING ON LOCAL NETWORK Transform your note taking app into a powerful file sharing app across devices on local network using local server and our web client. SEND TO LaterBox Share links, text, images, and files from any app directly into LaterBox. Pick which thread to save to and add a caption before sending. TASKS & REMINDERS Turn any note into a task with a due date and reminder. Track what's pending, completed, or overdue. Get notified when things are due. CUSTOMIZATIONS Make it yours. Choose a theme. Set wallpapers for the home screen or individual threads, adjust fonts, note styles, and a lot more. PRIVACY & SECURITY Lock the entire app with biometrics or PIN. Lock individual threads and notes. Locked notes automatically appear in a Protected Notes thread. End-to-end encryption for optional synced data. Delete your data anytime: name, email, media, notes, every last bit. OFFLINE FIRST LaterBox works without internet. All your data lives on your device in a local database. Sync to the cloud is completely optional. When you do sync, your data is always encrypted before it leaves your phone. SEARCH & ORGANIZE Search across all threads from the home screen or within a specific thread. Pin threads and boards for quick access. Bulk select to copy, delete, share, or download multiple notes at once. RESTORE DELETED CONTENT UPTO 30 DAYS Accidentally deleted something?
