See where your ideas meet.
Commonplace files every note under the topics it touches. Topics become lines, notes become stops, and the interchanges are where your best thinking tends to be.
Topics
Sleep does the filing
Deep sleep replays the day and moves it into long-term memory. Why an idea is clearer the next morning.

How a note travels
Capture
Press ⌥ Space in any app and type. Clip pages, forward emails, record voice memos.
Connect
Commonplace suggests the topics a note belongs to and the notes it should link to.
Review
Each morning, five older notes come back — the ones near what you're working on.
Find
Search by meaning. “Why cramming fails” finds a note titled “Spacing beats rereading.”
Your map lives on your disk
Every note is a plain Markdown file in a folder you choose. Commonplace works offline, opens in under a second with 50,000 notes, and never needs an account. If you stop using it, your notes are still just files.
