Your thinking,
made explorable.

03 · The Brain

All your notes, as one map.

In the app, the Brain shows every note you've written as a map you can turn, zoom and search, on Mac and iPhone.

Tap a note

See everything it connects to.

Pick any note and the notes connected to it gather around it, each one named, so you can see its whole context at once.

Tap a line

Every connection explains itself.

Tap a line to see why two notes are connected: the names, words and tags they share. Nothing is guessed.

Follow

Walk from one idea to the next.

Each tap moves you along a connection. Here, a memory about a garden leads, five notes later, to a way of working:

1. My grandmother's tomato garden
2. Balcony ecosystem, year two
3. Resilience is redundancy
4. Small systems grow into complex ones
5. The unfinished novel folder
6. Tending, not organizing

04 · Rediscover

Find the notes you've forgotten.

Turn on What I've forgotten and the notes you haven't opened in the longest light up in gold, so old ideas get a second look.

Old meets new

Old ideas find their way back.

Open an old note and the Brain puts its bridges first: connections that reach parts of your notes its neighbours don't. That's how past thinking finds its way into current work.

1. Capture
2. Developing
3. Developed
4. Evergreen

Notes grow in stages, from a quick capture to an evergreen note: a finished idea worth returning to.
