Clipbeam: A fully private AI knowledge management system
The problem my app solves: Information is scattered across different apps, files, web pages, etc. People on average spend 2 hours a week searching for information they know they have saved somewhere, but have to scroll through / search across different apps to retrieve it. Clipbeam is a central repository that can capture information across notes, files, web pages, YouTube videos, screenshots, voice notes and more. It is powered by a local AI agent that automatically organizes all this information and offers semantic search and an AI assistant that can answer detailed questions about any information captured across all media. Consider it a truly personalAI assistant, that you train on whatever data you want it to base its answers on.
My app is better than apps like Notion or Google Keep because it was built from the ground up to be fully private. The AI model and chat assistant runs entirely on your device and even works when you don't have an internet connection. It is fully media agnostic, so doesn't just understand 'notes', but also images, web links, videos and voice memos. It combines the functionality of an AI chat app with the functionality of a full-fledged knowledge library, with items automatically categorized by topics and media type. There is a universal keyboard shortcut Command ⌘ + C + B that captures anything you select across macOS.
Other features include:
- Voice recognition and voice chat: You can dictate notes, clip voice notes and use voice chat with the AI assistant.
- Sync folders: Clipbeam can automatically watch a folder on your hard drive. If you watch your Obsidian vault or a folder in your iCloud Drive, whatever is synced to this folder is automatically added to your knowledge vault.
- Sync bookmarks: Clipbeam can watch your Safari bookmarks, so anything you bookmark on either your phone or Mac is automatically added to your knowledge library.
Pricing:
- Free on a single device
- Backup your vault and sync items across devices for:
$49.99 lifetime license OR $2.99 per month / $29.99 per year.
