## What is This?
A unified, encrypted library for images, videos, links, and notes that you can actually *find* again. No more scattered Pinterest boards, lost TikToks, or forgotten bookmarks. Just one searchable creative memory that understands what's *in* your content, not just its filename.
```
"burnt orange hoodie in strong rim light" → finds it instantly
No tags. No folders. Just search by what you remember.
```
## Core Principles
Private by Design
E2EE encryption. Zero server visibility. |
Multimodal Search
OCR + vision embeddings across all media. |
Native Ingest
Automated capture from social platforms. |
Own Your Data
BYO storage. Open standards. Full exports. |
## The Differentiators
Unlike **Raindrop.io** (no E2EE, limited storage), **Pinterest** (public-first), **mymind** (closed ecosystem), or **Eagle** (local-only):
- **Search semantically** → "sunset over water" finds it even if you named it `IMG_2847.jpg`
- **Encrypted end-to-end** → Only you can decrypt your content
- **Auto-ingest from Instagram, TikTok, X** → Stop manually saving everything
- **Bring your own S3/Nextcloud** → No arbitrary storage caps
- **Open standards (OCMS/CRQL)** → Export anytime, integrate anywhere
## Architecture
```
┌─────────────┐
│ Client │ ← E2EE, Local OCR, Vision Embeddings
└──────┬──────┘

**Stack**: Next.js • Cloudflare Workers • D1 • R2 • Qdrant • ONNX
