Take notes
your AI can read.

Highlight anything, hit the capture hotkey, and it’s a markdown note. Hemingway grows a linked, plain-text wiki that Claude can search, read, and write. Your knowledge becomes your AI’s context.

The Method — 01/03

#1 Capture

One hotkey, anywhere

Highlight text or an image in any app. ⌃⌘= saves it as a markdown note before the thought fades.

#2 Plain text

Just markdown

A folder of .md files with frontmatter. No database, no lock-in. Yours forever, in any editor.

#3 Link

A wiki, not a pile

Wikilinks, backlinks, and auto-maintained maps of content: the LLM-wiki structure, kept fresh for you.

#4 Context

Built-in MCP server

The app is the server. Claude searches, reads, and relates your notes live. No plugins, no export step.

#5 Ask

Ask your notes

Hybrid semantic + keyword search, on-device. From ⌘K, or from your AI’s side of the conversation.

#6 Slim

Native and quiet

A menu bar app, not an electron monolith. Keychain for secrets, offline-safe capture, macOS 15+.

The Writing Room — 02/03

Every note becomes context

Notes

On Writing Well

All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know, and then go on from there. The rest of the note connects itself.

Linked from

Graph

Not a screenshot. The links work. Follow one.

One brain, two authors

Hemingway writes none of it

You capture notes. Your AI reads them over MCP and writes new ones back into the same folder. It is the brain you both work in.

Notes you captured
Notes your AI wrote
What your AI read

Notes your AI writes are marked source: claude-mcp. It can only trash the ones it created. Yours are refused.

Capture

One hotkey from any app. Saved instantly, titled by AI in the background.

Link

Notes reference notes. Spaces keep their own maps of content, automatically.

Ask

Point Claude at your vault. It answers from what you’ve written, with sources.

The Last Word — 03/03

You do the reading. Hemingway does the remembering.
