Into a project
A keyboard-first picker files the task while the thought is still warm. ⏎ and it's gone from your head.
A productivity system for Mac & iPhone
Write it down.
Nothing slips.
One daily note for everything on your mind — meeting scraps, stray ideas, the thing you just promised someone. Highlight a line to make it a task. See everything due today. That's the whole system.
Your data lives in your iCloud — never on our servers.
The name
Rammenta
to bring something back to mind: to remember, to recall.
First thing
Your day starts on one page.
Rammenta opens on today's note, with everything due today beside it. No blank-app dread — just the page.
Throughout the day
Throw everything at it.
Standup notes next to a stray idea next to the thing you promised Priya. It's a jot pad — it's allowed to be messy.
The moment it matters
Highlight what has to happen.
That line about the metrics isn't just a note — it's a commitment. Select it.
⌘T
Make it a task. File it as you type.
One key turns the line into a task; two letters drop it into a project. Your hands never leave the keyboard.
The receipt
The page remembers what became of it.
The line stays in your note — struck through, linked to the task it became. Months later, you'll still know where it went.
Due today
Everything due, in one place.
Give anything a date and it gathers here — overdue in red, today on top. The list you actually work from.
From the page, anywhere.
Select any line in any note. The floating bar turns it into whatever it needs to be.
Back to today
Highlight anything on a past day and Copy to Today pulls it forward. Old pages lock; loose threads don't.
Out to your tracker
Ship a highlight straight to Linear as a real issue — ⇧⌘L, pick a team, done.
Or just mark it up
Bold, links, five highlight colors — ⌘1–⌘5 — for the lines that only need to be louder.
Pinch out
Your week, page by page.
Days sit side by side, exactly as you wrote them. Reading last week is reading — not archaeology.
Yesterday isn't finished with you
Pull any day's thread into today.
Past days lock — they're the record. But highlight any line and copy it to today, or turn it straight into a task.
The long view
A month you can actually see.
Every day shows what it holds — recordings, notes, tasks due. The skipped days recede; the record stays.
The same page, in your pocket.
Today's note is on your iPhone the moment you write it — and everything you jot on the go is waiting on your Mac.
Apple Watch — coming soon
The rest of the Mac, replaced.
The daily note is the system. Around it sit the tools you already reach for: a Spotlight bar that knows your library, dictation that types into any app, a screenshot editor, clipboard history, and window snapping.
Replace Spotlight
Retrieve
⌃⌥Space anywhere. Same silhouette as Spotlight: a slim glass bar that grows only when it has something to show. Type to launch. Return to ask your library. ⇧↩ to create. Mid-dictation, say Rammenta retrieve and keep talking.
As you type
- Math evaluates instantly. Return copies the result.
- Natural-language dates: “2 days from today” becomes the weekday and the date.
- Launch any app by prefix, word, or abbreviation.
- Filename hits from the Mac’s own Spotlight index.
- A single word pulls a dictionary definition.
- Type clip to open clipboard history inside the bar.
- Paste a shell command. Return runs it in Terminal.
- Extension commands rank against apps by relevance, not by fiat.
- Empty bar: pop-up note, start recording, create a task, open the dictionary.
Ask the library
- Bare Return asks the second brain: notes, recordings, wiki, mail, messages.
- If a wiki page already answers it, that page is served first.
- If nothing local matches, it searches the open web and says so.
- ⌘↩ keyword-searches recordings and notes as a list.
- Answers cite their sources. Return inserts into the app you were in.
- Mid-dictation: say “that looks good” to paste and keep talking.
- Keep asking. The bar holds the conversation until you dismiss it.
- Save an answer to the wiki from the footer.
- Never steals focus from the field you were speaking into.
Create, then confirm
- “create a task…”, “jot down…”, “start recording”.
- A preview first. Nothing is created until you confirm.
- ⇧↩ flips retrieve and create. Tab only switches mode.
- Insert the answer with Return, or copy it if Accessibility isn’t granted yet.
Also in the bar
- Translate. Kill a process. Run a speed test. Open dictation history.
- Copy agent instructions for a note or a Mark session.
- ⌃⌥←↑→↓ move the bar. ⌘-arrows move the caret.
- Esc or click away dismisses it, Spotlight-style.
- Raycast-compatible extensions run as sessions inside the same card.
Screenshot tool
⌃⇧S region · ⌃⇧W window · ⌃⇧F screen
- Region, window, full screen, or the last region you used.
- Scrolling capture stitches long pages and chats.
- Editor: arrows, boxes, text, blur, crop, colors. Copy or Save.
- OCR and QR grab. Screen ruler with pixel nudge. Color picker copies hex.
- Pin a shot, or the clipboard image, on top of everything.
- After capture: open the editor, copy and get out, save, or pin.
Dictate anywhere
⌥⌘D start / finish · Esc cancels
- Types into whichever app is in front. The HUD never takes focus.
- Lives in the Mac notch. No notch, or an external display: a card at the bottom instead.
- Cleanup: drop fillers, fix grammar, keep what you meant, format lists, break paragraphs.
- Personal dictionary. Names you use get learned.
- Say Rammenta retrieve mid-sentence to ask without leaving the field.
Clipboard history
Type clip in Retrieve
- Every copy, searchable, grouped by day.
- Filter text, links, images, files. Pin the keepers.
- This Mac or all your devices. Unpinned entries expire after 30 days.
- Return pastes the selected entry into the app you were in.
- Longer copies feed the on-device memory layer, so Retrieve can find them later.
Window Snap
⌃⌥← ⌃⌥→ ⌃⌥↑ ⌃⌥↓ · ⌃⌥↩ max · ⌃⌥⌫ restore
- Magnet-style halves, maximize, and restore previous size.
- Defaults match Magnet so the muscle memory carries over. Remap any chord.
- While Retrieve is open, the same chords move the bar instead of the window.
Yours, actually.
Rammenta is an app, not a service you pour your life into. The library is a database on your devices — and it answers to you.
Your database is your iCloud.
Notes, tasks, recordings — the whole library lives on your devices and syncs through your own private iCloud database. We don't run a server full of your notes. We couldn't read them if we wanted to.
Synced by Apple's CloudKit, encrypted in transit and at rest — end-to-end with Advanced Data Protection.
Bring your own AI.
Your notes are most useful to the AI you already use. Rammenta ships an MCP server — point Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client at your library and ask real questions. Read-only. Local. On your machine.
