MYNAH is a personal knowledge instrument — a second brain that has read everything you've read and remembers how you think about it. Save an article, a YouTube video, a podcast, a PDF, a newsletter, or a quick voice memo — or follow a feed and let new posts arrive on their own. MYNAH reads the full text of all of it, even transcribing videos and audio, then files it, tags it, and makes it recallable. Then just ask. Instead of searching, you have a conversation: MYNAH answers in your own accumulated context and shows you exactly which of your saved sources it drew from. No hallucinated "general knowledge" dressed up as insight — grounded answers, cited. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Save anything you read, watch, or hear — articles, YouTube videos, podcasts, PDFs, and newsletters, captured with a tap. Video and audio are transcribed, so you can chat with them like any article. • Follow feeds — subscribe to the writers and publications you love, and new posts arrive automatically. • Text a link to save — send anything to your MYNAH number; no app needed. • Record voice memos — your own takes, transcribed and searchable, attachable to what prompted them. • Ask across everything — "What have I saved about money, and what should I do differently?" — and get a synthesized answer with sources. • Browse your Library — auto-organized by category, filterable by type and topic. • Recall past conversations — your thinking, kept. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most read-it-later apps are where articles go to die. MYNAH is built to be used: the more you save, the sharper it gets, because every answer is grounded in your own reading — and it tells you which sources it used, so you can trust and follow up. Named after the birds in Aldous Huxley's Island that called out "Attention! Here and now!" — MYNAH's purpose is the same: to bring your own reading and thinking into focus. Private by design. Your library is yours.
