MemNote: Take notes, improve recall Stop losing fleeting ideas to the void. MemNote is the first context-aware note-taking application designed to work the way your brain does: by association. Most note apps are just static text editors. You write something down, but weeks later, you can't remember why you wrote it or where you were. MemNote solves this by automatically anchoring every thought to the time, place, and device where it was created—giving you total recall without the effort. Fast and mobile-first MemNote is fast and lightweight, available on all platforms, and designed from the ground up to be mobile-first. Automatic context logging You focus on the content; we handle the context. MemNote passively records: * Location: Automatically geotags notes so you can find them on a map later. * Time: precise timestamps to visualize your thoughts on a timeline. * Device: Know exactly which device you used -- did I take this note on my laptop, or on my phone while watching TV? Recall via association Map and timeline views allow you to browse notes by their meta-data -- if you took a note at that restaurant you were at last Tuesday, the note will show up at the restaurant location on the map, and at the time you took the note on the timeline. Local-first, private, and available everywhere Your thoughts are private and available everywhere, any time. For performance and reliability, we store and search notes locally. For backup and availability across devices, we sync notes to the cloud. Data is encrypted both at rest and in transit. Markdown native, no lock-in Write in pure Markdown. Your data is portable, readable, and never locked into a proprietary format. You can export your notes as a well organized zip file that contains any relative links and attachments. Meta-data is retained in YAML front-matter. AI compatible MemNote uses Markdown with LaTeX extensions to allow you to copy-paste responses from your favorite AI assistant into your notes without any formatting issues. Key features: * Fast startup * Offline-first reliability * Automatic geolocation & timestamping * Cross-platform synchronization (with native apps on Windows, MacOS, Android, and iPhone) * Beautiful, distraction-free interface * Powerful timeline & map views Don't just take notes. Improve recall. Download MemNote today and upgrade your second brain.

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
