for people who think out loud

Your thoughts, six months later, still working for you.

The problem

Most note apps are graveyards.

Thoughts go in. Nothing comes back out. You've written "app idea" in six different places and couldn't find one of them right now.

yap is the opposite: every thought you capture makes the next one more valuable — searchable, linked, answerable.

From ramble to record

Say it messy. Keep it forever.

Hold a key, talk like a human — filler words, tangents, half-sentences. yap cleans it, files it, and extracts what you owe people. Word for word yours, minus the "ums."

The pricing needs to change — freemium isn't converting. We should charge from day one: $15/month.

I need to email Sarah about the contract before Friday, and fix the login bug.

How it works

Three seconds from thought to saved.

No app switching. No typing. No "I'll write it down later" (you won't).

no. 1

Hold your key

Pick any key — it works everywhere on your Mac, even when yap isn't focused. Mid-code, mid-email, mid-anything.

no. 2

Say it messy

Ramble. Trail off. Circle back. Filler words and half-sentences are fine — that's how real thinking sounds.

no. 3

It joins the archive

A clean note, extracted todos, auto-filed next to every related thought you've ever had. That's where it gets interesting.

Day 30 and beyond

Ask questions only your archive can answer.

A recorder gives you files. yap gives you answers — because six months of your out-loud thinking is in there, connected.

What did I decide about pricing last month?

Ask your notes in plain English. They answer back with receipts — the exact note, the exact day you said it.

I should email Sarah…

Said on a Tuesday walk, sitting in your todo list by the time you're home — linked to the moment you said it. Loops get closed.

What did I even do today?

An evening digest of what you thought, decided, and still owe people. Your day, closed out in ninety seconds.

Some thoughts are just mine.

Mark a folder private and AI never touches it. No extraction, no search, no linking. Your sensitive notes stay yours.
