Stop re-explaining yourself to ChatGPT, Claude, or every new AI tool you open. Stash is the personal context layer for AI — capture once, and every tool you use already knows you. Forward an email. Talk into a voice memo. Share a screenshot. Drop a link. Whatever's easiest. Stash quietly organizes everything you put in — people, projects, ideas, decisions — into a structured graph of what you're working on. No folders. No tags. No setup. Then, when you open Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any AI tool that speaks MCP, your context is already there. Same prompt, smarter answer. Different tool, same brain. — Capture without thinking. Voice on the walk. Screenshot of the chart. Link you'll come back to. Thought at 2am. — Find what you almost forgot. Ask in plain English. Stash returns the moment you said it, the article you saved, the decision you made. — Watch your world organize itself. People, projects, ideas — extracted automatically. Linked. Kept current. A living wiki of how you think, written from everything you do. — Build context as you work. Every AI you use reads from the same brain — and writes back to it. Your thoughts are yours. Encrypted. Never shared. Never used to train AI models. Full export anytime, in open formats. No ads, no trackers, no data brokering. Made in Asbury Park, NJ.
