Synap is your memory, externalized. Everything you know, carried outside your head, connected, and yours. Your mind was never meant to hold all of this. Keep a thought in Synap and it stays exactly as you wrote it, on the day you wrote it. Synap connects it to what you already kept, on its own. Nothing to file, nothing to tag. Ask for it back in your own words and the answer comes from your own entries, each one cited. Synap works with or without AI. Keeping, search and the record all run on your iPhone. Bring an assistant when you want one, or do not. Either way the record is yours, on your own device. KEEP ANYTHING, IN SECONDS Type it, say it, share it from any app, or speak it into your Apple Watch. Workouts you record with Apple Watch or any app that saves to Health land in your memory on their own, route included. FIND IT BY MEANING Search understands what you meant, not just the words you used. It runs on your phone, so it works with no signal. ASK YOUR OWN MEMORY Ask a question and get an answer drawn from your own entries, with the exact entries it came from. Use Apple Intelligence on a supported iPhone, sign in with your Claude account, or connect ChatGPT or Gemini. Your entries stay on your phone until you ask. SEE WHAT YOU MISSED Insights reads across everything you kept and shows the patterns, the contradictions and the blind spots. Reflect shows the shape of a season of your thinking. Open the whole record as a map you can move through. BRING WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE Import your ChatGPT and Claude history and it becomes part of the record the moment it lands. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN AND YOUR WRIST Widgets for today, the record, recent entries and your body. Live Activities while something is being kept. A watch app that leads with one Speak button. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Synap is local first. Your entries, your search and your voice transcription run on your device. Cloud sync is optional and off until you turn it on. Names can be hidden before anything is sent to an AI you connect. FREE Keeping, search and the record on your phone, import of your ChatGPT, Claude and Obsidian history, new entries connected to what you already kept, and a cloud account with sync for up to 1,500 entries. PRO Chat that draws on your whole memory. Patterns, contradictions and blind spots, read for you. An evening digest of what was kept and what connected. Sync in the background, even with the app closed. No cap on what you keep. Know more. Carry less. Terms of Use: https://synap.ing/terms Privacy Policy: https://synap.ing/privacy

Plans change. Current keeps up. Most planners break the moment your day stops going to plan. Current is built for what actually happens: you start late, a meeting runs over, something urgent lands in the middle. One tap, and your remaining tasks reshuffle around the commitments that can't move. WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT Every task is either Fixed (the 2pm meeting, the school run) or Flexible (everything else). Current's cascade engine flows your flexible tasks around your fixed ones — so your plan always matches reality, without you rebuilding it by hand. • Start your day when you actually start — your schedule rebuilds from that moment • Drag one block and watch the rest of your day ripple into place • Pause your day when life interrupts, and pick up exactly where you left off • Add buffers for commutes, prep, and breathing room — they're scheduled like the real time they are YOUR DAY DOESN'T END AT MIDNIGHT Working late, or on a night shift? Current rolls your day over during your off-hours — not at the stroke of midnight — so a 1am task still belongs to tonight, not tomorrow. PLAN ONCE, REUSE FOREVER • Recurring tasks fill your week automatically • Save any day as a template and apply it in one tap — or schedule it to apply itself • Capture ideas in the Inbox now, slot them into a day when you're ready CONNECTED, NOT COMPLICATED • Two-way calendar sync: your tasks show up as events, your events show up on your timeline • Per-task reminders, plus an optional morning briefing before your day starts • A home-screen widget with what's next PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. Your plans stay on your device unless you choose to sync them. No ads. Current is for people who plan carefully and still get interrupted. Structure, without the rigidity. Your day, reorganized. Free to use. Current Pro unlocks recurring tasks, unlimited templates, calendar sync, buffer time, custom reminder timing, and unlimited pauses.
