One loop, three moves.
Capture
A quick-capture window follows you across the system. Thoughts land on today’s page in under two seconds, tagged by source.
Connect
Type two brackets to link any past note. Understory suggests connections you would not have thought to make yourself.
Reflect
Every Sunday, a quiet digest of what you wrote, read and linked. Your thinking, reviewed like a good journal should be.
“It reads like a garden, not a database. I wander in and leave with something.”
“Voice notes finally became useful. Everything is transcribed before I am back at my desk.”
“The weekly digest resurfaced an idea I had entirely forgotten. That paid for the year.”
