Every idea
is a station.
Loam is a second brain that maps your notes like a transit system. Each note is a stop, each subject is a line, and the places where lines cross are where your best thinking happens.
RWPThree stops to a working system
Capture anywhere
Clip a paragraph, forward an email, or type a line on your phone. It lands as a stop on the right line, with the source attached.
Link as you write
Type [[ and Loam suggests stops you've already made. Every link runs both ways, so the older note learns about the newer one.
Resurface at the transfer
When two lines cross, Loam shows you: the book you read last spring is relevant to the project you're shipping now.
The good ideas happen at transfers.
Folders keep your reading and your work in separate buildings. Loam puts them on one map, so a note you took from a book and a note you took in a meeting can share a stop.
Below: a real transfer. One line of reading, one line of projects, one interchange where they turned out to be the same idea.
