Catch it now

Two seconds from brain to board. A hotkey, a line, done — before the kettle boils or the light turns green.

It files itself

Tangent reads the note, guesses the tag, and finds its friends. You can overrule it. You won’t need to.

Find it half-remembered

Search “that soup thing” and get the nutmeg note. Wrong words work — that’s the point of a second brain.

“I stopped emailing myself.”
— every Tangent user, eventually
