The Problem

Memory is not a database.
It's a storyteller.

Every day, you absorb ideas through conversations, books, videos, and half-formed thoughts. Some change you. Most vanish by morning.

Memory edits, compresses, and rewrites. That becomes dangerous when you're trying to grow.

  • Small ideas disappear before they become pivotal
  • You repeat mistakes because you forgot the warning signs

Origin

Why we built this

I needed something with the speed of Twitter, but completely private. Night after night, I'd lose useful ideas. Not urgent ones, just insights that would have compounded into better judgment over time. I tried Notion, Obsidian, Bear. All brilliant tools that demanded I become a librarian. I just wanted to remember what mattered without the overhead.

Who it's for

Three ways people use it

The Student

Building Mastery

Feed in the textbook. Highlight the chapter. Weeks later, ask a question and get: the answer, the quote, and the page. Studying becomes recall, not re-reading.

The Builder

Learning from Decisions

Record decisions: why you chose the architecture, what risk you accepted, and what you assumed. Months later, you're not guessing. You know what you believed, and you can learn cleanly.

The Creator

Turning Fragments into Work

Save notes, links, drafts, and transcripts. The studio helps turn fragments into work, without losing your voice, because the raw material is yours.

Everything you need to know about TinyThoughts

What exactly is TinyThoughts?
TinyThoughts is a unified app for quick capture, structured knowledge, and task management. Think of it as the natural middle ground between a quick notes app and a full knowledge base. Fast enough for fleeting thoughts, organized enough for long-term storage.
How is this different from Notion, Obsidian, or Apple Notes?
Most tools are either too simple (Apple Notes) or too complex (Notion). TinyThoughts hits the sweet spot: you can capture thoughts instantly like a quick notes app, organize them into structured collections when needed, and track tasks. All without context-switching between apps.
What are Collections and how do they work?
Collections are structured containers for your long-term knowledge. Each collection has a custom schema (fields like title, status, tags, etc.) that you define, or let AI suggest based on your description. Think of them as personalized databases for recipes, reading lists, project notes, or anything you want to organize.
Can I share my collections with others?
Yes! You can share collections publicly via a link, or invite collaborators to contribute. This makes TinyThoughts great for shared reading lists, team knowledge bases, or public resources.
Is there a mobile app?
TinyThoughts works great on mobile browsers and we're building native apps. The web app is fully responsive and designed for quick capture on the go.
What about my data privacy?
Your data is yours. We don't sell it, we don't train AI models on it, and you can export everything anytime. We use industry-standard encryption and security practices.
Is there an API or webhook support?
Yes, Pro users get access to webhooks for automating workflows. We also support MCP (Model Context Protocol) for connecting AI assistants like Cursor, Claude, and others to your TinyThoughts data.

The Promise

TinyThoughts doesn't require you to become a new person. It requires one behavior: write it down the moment you see it.

The system can handle everything else: tagging, connecting, indexing, resurfacing, and citing.

If you do your part, TinyThoughts does its part.
