There are insights that can only be discovered among the things you've saved. Every day you encounter countless pieces of information β€” but most of them slip away. Links stay in the browser, images in the gallery, notes in the notes app β€” and when you actually need them, they're nowhere to be found. InsightFlow brings your scattered insights together in one place, and lets AI find the connections hidden within them. β–  Effortless Saving Save links, images, and text in seconds. Use the share button from any app to save instantly. Add a note while saving so you never lose the context. β–  AI Insight Feed AI analyzes your saved content and surfaces related insights in your feed. It's not just a list β€” it's the experience of discovering connections between what you've collected. β–  Flow β€” Your Personal Knowledge Map Connect insights as nodes to build a visual knowledge structure. Add memos to connections to capture the context and relationship between two insights. As connections grow, AI synthesizes your ideas and suggests next action plans. Feel scattered thoughts come together into a single, coherent flow. β–  Reminder Insights you saved and forgot will find their way back to you. Set your preferred reminder frequency β€” daily, weekly, or biweekly. Experience the moment when an old insight returns with a whole new perspective. β–  Archist β€” Your Knowledge Journey The more you save and connect, the higher your level grows. Achievements stack up based on saves, connections, and depth of exploration β€” and your personal Archist rank evolves with you. Let the act of building knowledge become a journey of its own. β–  InsightFlow Pro Unlimited Flow connections, widgets, Notion/PDF export, and more. If you're ready to go deeper, try InsightFlow Pro. Value begins the moment you save. Start InsightFlow today. β€”β€”β€” Developer Contact: Temaworks 804, 124 Unjung-ro, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea alex@temaworks.com

About

LocalBrain AI

Features
Read full description

LocalBrain AI helps you organize articles, documents, recordings and ideas into a personal knowledge base. Record or import audio and local videos in a dedicated Recordings & Transcripts tab. Audio shared from other apps opens there directly. Transcribe on your device with Whisper, listen while editing, save your changes and follow the currently playing paragraph. AI selects highlights as direct transcript excerpts with playback timestamps. Recordings and transcripts remain saved in this workspace. You can also add their content to your knowledge base through an explicit action. Chat separately, browse saved source categories and related topics, and ask questions about your knowledge base. Translate conversations using text and voice; voice availability depends on your device, language and downloaded models. AI inference runs on device. Initial model downloads, web search and external links require internet access. Supported local features work offline after model setup. Transcription, correction and translation can contain errors; review important details. Pro costs NT$90 for one calendar month or NT$990 for one calendar year. Access expires unless you choose to purchase again; there are no automatic charges. Free includes 10 chat questions and 5 text or voice translations per day, and transcription up to 10 minutes per file. Pro removes those paid limits while active; device and source limits still apply. Existing lifetime and early paid users keep permanent Pro; existing lifetime Family Sharing is preserved. App Store pricing and availability apply. Text, PDF and image knowledge imports have no paid quantity limit.
