Glim is where your notes live with the people they're for. Write a note with photos, checklists, files and tags. Keep it private in your Hub, or drop it into a shared space β€” the trip you're planning with friends, the home you run with your partner, the book club that never finishes the book. Everyone sees it, comments on it, reacts to it. And nobody has to scroll through a group chat looking for the address someone sent three weeks ago. WHAT YOU CAN DO β€’ Rich notes: photos, videos, files, checklists, tables, colors and tags. Publish now or schedule for later. β€’ Shared spaces: invite people with roles, comment in threads, react with any emoji. Group spaces into hyperspaces when life gets big. β€’ Tasks and calendar, built in: reminders with real recurrence β€” every Tuesday, the 1st of the month, working days only β€” for you or for the whole space. β€’ Search that actually finds things: by title, content, tag, space or person. β€’ Works offline: everything lives on your phone and syncs when you're back. β€’ Bring your own AI: connect Claude or ChatGPT and ask about your notes, make new ones, check your calendar. You decide what it can see. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything you write is end-to-end encrypted. Only you and the people you invite hold the keys β€” we couldn't read your notes even if we wanted to. No ads, no data selling, and you can start without a credit card. People use Glim for the household, trips, recipes worth keeping, school parent groups, workout plans, neighborhood boards, and everything they used to lose in chats. Your life fits in here.
