Every note is one thought away from the thought it belongs to.
Steno grows a graph while you write — books quoted, people mentioned, ideas that rhyme. Your archive stops being a pile and starts being a conversation.
Five colors, and that’s the whole system.
Steno suggests a hue when you capture — reading, projects, people, someday, archive. No taxonomy to maintain, nothing to configure. Drag a dot when you disagree.
- Reading
Books, essays, papers — with the quotes that made you stop scrolling.
- Projects
Anything with a verb in it. Decisions stay attached to the thinking behind them.
- People
Names you keep writing. Steno notices, and pulls them together.
- Someday
Ideas with no deadline. They float; they don’t rot at the bottom of a list.
- Archive
Finished things. Still linkable, still recallable, just quiet.
Ask the way you’d ask a friend.
Recall works across the whole graph, not just where you saved things. The answer arrives with the two notes that orbit it, because context is half the memory.
“Steno surfaced a note I forgot writing. It changed the decision I was about to make.” Priya Nair · product lead
