Plz Roast. Here's what I built: Your Mac knows your entire context. You just couldn't ask it. Until now.

Plz Roast. Here's what I built: Your Mac knows your entire context. You just couldn't ask it. Until now.

Today, we are coming out of closed beta and launching Sherlock.

We built this for the real problem we experienced:

  • context keeps shifting throughout the day and you never fully know where you left off.
  • You switch between tabs, apps, docs, meetings and by the end of the day you cant reconstruct what actually happened.
  • So you open ChatGPT or Claude to get help but you have to manually explain everything from scratch. What you were working on, why, what you already tried. Every single time.
  • Second brain setups with Obsidian and Claude are the same. They only know what you manually put in. So the burden is still on you.

Sherlock runs in the background on your Mac and learns from your screen.When you need a recap or want to pick up where you left off, you just ask. It already knows your context. No setup, no integrations. You just start working.

To share some of testaments from our beta users:

  • One beta user said it feels like "a second brain running quietly." Another user said it's. having which is probably the best description we could've come up with ourselves lol.
  • "It's like having Obsidian and Claude a baby"
  • "I didn't realize how much context I was losing every day until this"

You can check it out at here. Would love your feedback/roasts/comments!

After taking leave from college with my friend, we soft launched Sherlock today.

Sherlock watches your screen, understands your context, and automatically takes notes. It tells you what you did and what needs to happen next, so you stay on top of every task, detail, and thought.

Then, ask Sherlock anything: a detail you can’t remember, a recap to share with your team, your action items for tomorrow. It knows your context.

Everything stays local on your Mac. Nothing sent to our servers.

Check it out at getsherlock.xyz

Above is how I use Sherlock to feed me topics to write and dig deeper based on my activity.

I’m glad for any feedback/suggestions/roasts in the comments!

At some companies that work fully remote, I've seen people share a quick "here's what I'm working on today" at the start, and a "here's what I got done" at the end of the day.

Does your team actually do this? And if so, is it a pain in the ass or is it something people genuinely find useful?
