Feature 01
Open in under a second. Every time.
No server round-trip. No spinner. A database with 10,000 files opens instantly and search results appear as you type — whether you're online or not.
Capabilities
Features for high-volume, high-context knowledge work
See the core capabilities teams use first to centralize notes, files, and project context in one local workspace.
Use your real files to validate speed, structure, and search quality.
Feature 02
Keep context from falling apart
Write a note, attach a PDF, link to a related project. When you come back a month later, everything is still connected — not scattered across apps you barely remember opening.
Feature 03
Back up with tools you already have
Your database is one file on disk. Time Machine, Dropbox, iCloud, WebDAV — any backup you trust today works immediately. No new service, no new subscription.
Feature 04
Client work and personal ideas stay yours
Turn on encryption and your files, notes, and metadata are protected by your passphrase — unreadable by anyone without it, including us.
Feature 05
Change your mind later without losing your work
Import from DEVONthink, Obsidian, or Notion. Export to open formats at any point. Your knowledge survives every tool decision you make in the future.
Feature 06
Let the repetitive work run itself
Smart Rules file and tag new documents automatically. Watch Folders process incoming files without touching them. You set it up once and reclaim the time every week.
