Think is designed for the operator who demands a stable foundation for their cognitive worldline. It scales from sub-second local capture to high-fidelity structural reflection across multi-mind archives.
Unlike traditional note-taking apps that prioritize organization over ingestion, Think prioritizes the sanctity of the raw capture moment.
- Capture must be cheap: The capture path is a trapdoor. Raw text in, immutable entry out. No embeddings, no tagging, and no retrieval-before-write to slow you down.
- Local-First Bedrock: Your thoughts live in a private Git-backed repository on your machine. Local save never depends on network success; backup is a best-effort follow-through.
- Geometric Lawfulness: The terminal is the primary operating surface. Think treats your thoughts as a layered worldline of raw entries and derived artifacts.
- Structural Re-entry: Browse with a window-based TUI, recall with bounded search, and pressure-test ideas through structured prompt families (Reflect).
Requires Node.js >= 22 and Git. Clone, install, capture.
