AI features
AI suggests connections
Open a card and click '✨ AI suggests connections'. AI will analyze the content and suggest 3-5 related cards with explanations.
Confirm or skip
For each suggestion you can click 'Add connection' or 'Skip'. AI doesn't add connections automatically.
Synthesis of related notes
If a card has 2+ connections — a button '✨ Synthesize N related notes' appears. AI analyzes the whole chain and creates a new insight.
Save the insight
The synthesis result can be saved as a new card, copied or redone.
AI credits
3 free credits
Every new user gets 3 free AI credits upon registration.
1 credit = 1 AI request
Each AI feature call (connections or synthesis) uses 1 credit.
Buy more
Go to the 'Shop' section — packages of 10, 50 and 100 credits are available.
Balance in Dashboard
Your current credit balance is shown in the Dashboard header next to the ✨ icon.
Private vault
Create a vault
On your first attempt to create a private card, the system will ask you to create a vault with a password.
Choose a strong password
The password is used for encryption. If you forget it — content cannot be recovered. Keep it somewhere safe.
AES-256-GCM encryption
Private cards are encrypted right in the browser before being sent to the server. We physically cannot read their content.
Unlocking
Each new session requires entering the vault password to decrypt private cards. The key is stored only in browser memory.
Data export
Click the export button
The Dashboard header has a '↓ Export' button — with label on desktop, icon on mobile.
A JSON file will download
The file contains all your cards with titles, content, tags and categories.
Keep a backup
We recommend exporting weekly and storing in Google Drive or iCloud.
