How it worksPricingDownload

Notes sink. Engram digs them up.

You write things down and forget you did. Engram keeps every note, links it to the others and brings it back when you need it.

Try

Five layers of notes, six years deep. Search for something you've forgotten.

    • Call plumber about the fan
    • Clip: The rebuilt memory
    • Standup: launch moved to Friday

Everything goes in at the top

Type it, paste it, clip it, forward it or say it out loud. Every note lands in one place, stamped with the time and where it came from. There’s nothing to file and nothing to name.

One name, every layer

Write a name in double brackets and the note joins everything else you’ve written about it. Priya’s page gathers a site visit from last month, an intro call from two years ago and a grocery note where you forgot the brackets.

Old notes rise on their own

Each morning Engram picks a few older notes related to what you’re working on now and pins them to the top of Today. It picks for relevance, not age.

Or ask a question. Engram answers from your notes only, with each sentence linked to its source.
