Save
Capture in one paste
Paste a link, jot a thought, drop a quote. It’s saved in seconds, with nothing to organize and nothing to decide. Capture it and get straight back to what you were doing.
Frictionless Capture. Intelligent Retrieval
Pensieve lets you capture the things you’d want to recall, like articles, YouTube videos, and spontaneous thoughts, then find them again easily with natural language.
Request AccessOne overlay. Two modes
Press ⌘⇧K from anywhere, then toggle between saving something and finding it again.
Ask
Find it in plain English
Type it the way you half-remember it, like “that thing about memory not being reliable,” and Pensieve finds what you meant. A fuzzy description is enough. You don’t need exact words or a title.
A memory you don’t have to maintain.
With Pensieve there’s no tagging, no organizing, no fancy setup. You just capture what you want to remember, and when you reach back for it later with a fuzzy memory, Pensieve finds it.
Capture, don’t file.
Drop in a thought with ⌘⇧K. No folders, no tags. Pensieve still finds it later.
⌘⇧K
Recall in plain English.
Type the half-remembered version, like “that thing about memory,” and Pensieve pulls the captures you meant.

Ambient capture.
Beyond manual saves, Pensieve pulls from places you already collect: Twitter bookmarks, YouTube playlists, Substack stacks, Instagram collections, your Obsidian vault. And we’re building it to reach anywhere you work digitally, not just the apps listed here. Connect once. Query everything.
Coming soon
Mirror it wherever you want.
Your captures also appear in Notion, Obsidian, or a local folder, so you always keep your own backup.
Coming soon
Capture anywhere. Recall everywhere.
Desktop, mobile, web. One library across every device you reach for.
