✨ Inspiration Engine
Your private creative memory. Search by idea, not filename.
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
