#1 Capture
One hotkey, anywhere
Highlight text or an image in any app. ⌃⌘= saves it as a markdown note before the thought fades.
Capture • Link • Context
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
#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 Recall
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+.

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.

Capture
One hotkey from any app. Saved instantly, titled by AI in the background.
02
Link
Notes reference notes. Spaces keep their own maps of content, automatically.
03
Ask
Point Claude at your vault. It answers from what you’ve written — grounded, with sources.
“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down and remember.”
