The problem
Useful information disappears across documents, browser tabs, and applications. Remember This makes capture deliberate: select a region, recognize it on-device, and save it as a private memory that can be searched or resurfaced later.
Capabilities
- Deliberate region capture from anywhere on the Mac
- On-device OCR, search, collections, and duplicate detection
- Reminders and encrypted local backups
- Optional AI titles, summaries, keywords, grounded Q&A, and weekly digests
Engineering approach
Capture, OCR, search, organization, and backups are local by default. Optional AI requests require a deliberate user action and add visual understanding without replacing the private on-device library.
