Highlight it once. Find it forever.
Clipped from a long read, The Rebuilt Memory. Click any phrase to highlight it.
Memory is not a recording. Each time you recall something, you rebuild it, and the version you rebuild is the one that gets stored. That is why a note written the same day beats a clear memory of that day. Writing gives an idea somewhere to stay still while you work out what it means.
Saved to Today 0
Nothing saved yet. Highlight a phrase and it lands here as its own note, already linked to what you’ve written before.
Old highlights come back 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 chooses for relevance, not age, and says why.

- Talk outline: memory and habitRelated to the clip you saved this morning.Last spring
Ask, and the highlights show their sources
Engram answers from your notes only. The passages it used are marked, so you can check every claim against what you wrote.
