Stop re-explaining yourself to ChatGPT, Claude, or every new AI tool you open. Stash is the personal context layer for AI β€” 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 β€” people, projects, ideas, decisions β€” 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. β€” Capture without thinking. Voice on the walk. Screenshot of the chart. Link you'll come back to. Thought at 2am. β€” Find what you almost forgot. Ask in plain English. Stash returns the moment you said it, the article you saved, the decision you made. β€” Watch your world organize itself. People, projects, ideas β€” extracted automatically. Linked. Kept current. A living wiki of how you think, written from everything you do. β€” Build context as you work. Every AI you use reads from the same brain β€” 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.

Read full description

PinLog is a simple place to save text and links you do not want to lose. Save a note, paste from the clipboard, import a file, or send content from another app through the share sheet. PinLog keeps the item clean and ready, then helps you return to it later from the app or Home Screen widget. Use it for launch notes, links to read, product ideas, checklist fragments, reminders, and small pieces of text that are useful but easy to forget. Features: - Save text and links quickly - Dictate notes with voice input - Import text, Markdown, and JSON files - Save from other apps with the share extension - Open URL pins in the browser - Tap links inside notes from the detail view - Use a widget to resurface saved items - Copy, edit, share, or delete saved pins PinLog is intentionally small: no feeds, no folders to manage, and no complicated note system. It is built for capturing something now and acting on it later.
