Cairn

Problem

You read something useful, watch a great talk, or walk out of a meeting with a good idea. Two weeks later you can’t find it, so the next decision gets made without it.

Why I built it

I kept losing useful things I had just learned. I needed a memory I would actually use, from my phone, that I could find again when the next decision showed up.

What I built

Cairn is a memory for everything you learn. Send it an article, a video, or a meeting from your phone. It comes back organized, summarized, and connected to everything you’ve saved before. I use it every day and I’m building it into a product.

How it works

Send it. It comes back useful. Later you can search what you saved, look at the original, or ask a question. The notes sit on top of the source, so you can get back to either one.

Why it matters

Drop a mark. Find the path later. Never lose a good idea again. The next decision should have the context of the last one.
