NeuroHive is the personal knowledge management system built for people who think fast and lose things slow. Every idea, link, task, and note flows through a single Inbox — then AI does the filing. Stop losing thoughts to scattered apps, forgotten tabs, and overflowing note dumps. NeuroHive captures everything and puts it exactly where it belongs. HOW IT WORKS Everything starts in your Inbox. Capture a thought, paste a URL, clip a web page, or text yourself a note — it all lands in one place. From there, AI analyzes each item, suggests a category and entity type with a confidence score, and waits for your confirmation. One tap to file. Nothing gets lost. Nothing gets auto-misclassified. CAPTURE FROM ANYWHERE • Quick Capture — log thoughts, URLs, and file attachments instantly from inside the app • Chrome Extension — one-click web clipping with auto-screenshot, notes, and tags • SMS Capture — text anything to your personal NeuroHive number and it appears in your Inbox • Mobile Share Sheet — share directly from Safari, Photos, or any iOS app • API & Automation — connect n8n, Zapier, or custom pipelines for power-user workflows STRUCTURED WITH PARA NeuroHive is built around the PARA method — the proven organizational framework used by knowledge workers worldwide. • Projects — active work with a defined outcome • Areas — ongoing responsibilities you maintain over time • Resources — reference material and research you want to keep • Archive — completed or inactive items, out of the way but never deleted Every item you capture gets a home. Every home has a purpose. AI THAT ASSISTS, NOT DECIDES NeuroHive's AI suggests entity types and PARA categories — but never files anything without you. Fully automated systems make fast mistakes that quietly erode trust. NeuroHive keeps you in control while eliminating the blank-canvas decision fatigue of "where does this go?" • Smart categorization with confidence scoring • Auto-tagging based on content context • Auto-linking to detect relationships between notes, tasks, and resources • Semantic search — find anything by meaning, not just keywords FIRST-CLASS ENTITY TYPES Items in NeuroHive aren't just "notes." Each entity has its own schema, purpose, and view: • Tasks — with priority, due dates, and smart task management • Notes — rich, linkable, and connected to your knowledge graph • Projects — full project views with associated tasks and resources • Areas — responsibility-level views for ongoing work • Resources — your personal reference library • People — track your network and connect contacts to projects and notes FIND ANYTHING, INSTANTLY Semantic search means you don't need to remember exactly how you phrased something. Search by intent. NeuroHive finds the right item even when your keywords don't match exactly. BUILT FOR POWER USERS • Subscription plans: Basic, Pro, and Elite • Push notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging • Background delivery on iOS • RLS-enforced access controls on all data • Connected knowledge graph linking notes, tasks, resources, and people WHO IT'S FOR NeuroHive is for founders, builders, researchers, writers, and anyone who takes in more information than a single brain can organize. If you've ever lost a great idea, forgotten where you saved something important, or given up on a note-taking system because filing was too much friction — NeuroHive was built for you. Your second brain. Finally organized. Privacy Policy: https://neurohive.me/PrivacyPolicy Terms of Use: https://neurohive.me/Termsandconditions
