Stashwise is the second brain your AI can actually use. You already collect the good stuff: articles, videos, posts, ideas, tutorials, research, tools. But it piles up, disappears into folders, and goes missing the moment you need it. Worse, none of it is available to the AI tools you work in every day. Stashwise fixes both. Save a link, video, or note, and it pulls out the useful parts for you: summaries, key takeaways, topics, connections, and learning paths. Everything you keep becomes a structured, searchable personal wiki. Then it goes further than a notes app ever could. Connect your AI tools, and they can read and search everything you have saved, right inside your own workflow. You choose what goes in, so your assistant is grounded in sources you actually trust instead of whatever the open web returns. You are building the knowledge, and putting your AI to work on it. Collect what matters. Your AI uses it anywhere you want. - What you can do: - Give your AI your knowledge Connect Stashwise to your AI tools so they can draw on your saved library while you work, grounded in what you collected, not random web results. - Search your own collection Ask questions and get answers from the things you saved, not the open web. - Chat with your saves Understand articles, compare ideas, pull out details, and make sense of a messy collection. - Create Learn Guides Turn saved material into structured learning paths built from resources you already found interesting. - Analyze videos Save supported videos and clips so they become searchable, summarized, and easy to revisit. - Build a personal wiki automatically Stashwise extracts topics, summaries, and relationships without making you tag everything by hand. - Catch relevant trends See emerging topics that connect back to your saved knowledge, so new ideas are easier to place. - Own your knowledge Your wiki is never locked in. Export to Markdown or Obsidian, keep a local backup, or bring your saved context into your own workflows. Your notes, your wiki, and your AI should all be able to use the knowledge you already collected. - Who it is for Stashwise is for builders, students, researchers, creators, and curious people who save more than they can process. If your bookmarks, notes, and watch lists are a pile you meant to come back to, Stashwise turns that pile into knowledge you and your AI can actually use. Collect the knowledge. Put your AI to work on it. Grow a brain you own. Terms of Use (EULA): https://stashwise.co/terms Privacy Policy: https://stashwise.co/privacy

Nook is the journal that calls you. Every evening, at a time you pick, your phone rings. You answer, you talk for five minutes, and that's it. Journaling fails because it waits for you to start every single time. Nook starts for you. Like when your mom calls and asks how your day was, and you end up telling her things you didn't know you were thinking. Months later it still remembers all of it, so you can ask it what you've been circling and get a real answer. IT STARTS BY ASKING Your first call is a conversation. Nook asks what matters to you right now, what you're working on, and when you want to be called. It writes all of it down, and it brings it up later. THEN IT JUST CALLS Five minutes a day at your time. It remembers what you said yesterday and asks about the thing you're actually avoiding. Every call becomes a written entry, and once a week Nook pulls it all together into one recap. ASK IT ANYTHING This is the part that's hard to do with a notebook. Nook has everything you've said, so you can ask it about yourself: "Where am I falling short?" "What have I stopped mentioning?" "What's been draining me?" "What patterns do you notice?" And it answers properly. One user asked which goals she'd been neglecting and got told she hadn't been writing much, and hadn't touched German since she said she would. That's the thing a blank page can't do. It doesn't remember anything. IF YOU DON'T PICK UP, NOTHING HAPPENS No guilt. No broken chain. It just tries again tomorrow. Nook is the version you're still doing in a month, not the one you feel bad about in a week. MAKE IT YOURS Custom icons and a look you can set up the way you like. It should feel like somewhere you want to go at the end of the day. YOUR CALLS AREN'T RECORDED Nook doesn't keep your audio. You talk, it becomes text as you speak, and the recording never exists. That text is deleted after 12 months. No ads, no trackers, nothing sold to anyone. Delete your account and everything goes with it.
