Turn every spark of curiosity into a wiki that grows on its own. Wikova is a personal knowledge base powered by a team of AI agents. Give it a topic, and a researcher agent goes online to gather sources, an editor agent turns them into structured wiki entries, and a maintainer agent quietly comes back every day to fact-check, refresh, and fill in the gaps. Instead of scattered tabs and notes, you get a private, searchable, shareable encyclopedia of the things you care about. — WHAT'S INSIDE — • AI agent team — research, writing, editing, and maintenance, fully automated • Cited sources — every claim links back to the original page, one tap away • Daily auto-refresh — followed topics keep updating, so nothing goes stale • Health check — auto-detects contradictions, outdated facts, and orphan pages • Three query modes — Fact, Synthesize, and Speculate, switchable per question • Knowledge graph view — see how topics and entities connect at a glance • Flexible sharing — private, link-only, or fully public, your call • Hybrid search — keyword and semantic in one query — WHO IT'S FOR — • Curious minds who love going deep on niche topics • Researchers, journalists, and investors tracking a domain over time • Knowledge workers building a personal or team knowledge asset • Students who need to make sense of complex subjects — WHY WIKOVA — Notes need you to organize them. Search engines won't remember for you. AI chats forget the moment you close the tab. Wikova hands research, distillation, and upkeep to a team of agents, so every question you ask compounds into a knowledge asset you actually own. Pick a topic you're curious about. Let the agents do the rest.

Tearpad

I kept opening my notes app to jot down one quick thing and getting hit with folders, tags, and a pile of old notes I forgot to delete. I just wanted a pad of paper. So I made one. Tearpad opens straight to today's page. Cursor's already blinking, so you just write. There's no title to fill in, nothing to file, no place to put it. When tomorrow rolls around, it turns to a clean page on its own. Yesterday's is one swipe back, curling away like a real notebook. That's really the whole thing. It's for the notes you'd scribble on a sticky and throw out later. A phone number, a grocery list, the two things you have to do before lunch. Stuff that doesn't need a filing system. What you get: • Opens to today every single time • A fresh page shows up on its own, so you're never staring at last week's leftovers • Swipe to flip back through your old pages • Checklists, bullets, and numbered lists, right there in the text • A few paper colors, textures, and typefaces if you want to make it yours • No account, no sign in, nothing to set up If you like it, there's one optional purchase that unlocks the extras. It's a one time thing. I'm not going to charge you every month for a notepad.
