tidi
Your mind is full of things worth remembering: links you stumble upon, images that inspire you, ideas that strike at odd hours, screenshots of things you’ll need later. But where do they all go? Bookmarks get buried. Notes apps demand organization you don’t have time for. Browser tabs pile up until you declare inbox bankruptcy and close them all. The things that matter slip through the cracks.
Tidi is a place for everything on your mind. Drop in links, images, screenshots, notes, todos: anything you want to remember. It all lives on a visual grid you can organize however makes sense to you, or not organize at all. Come back anytime and find exactly what you’re looking for with AI-powered search and flexible tagging.
What makes Tidi different:
- Save anything — Links (with auto-generated previews), images, screenshots, text notes, todos. If it’s on your mind, it belongs in Tidi.
- Passwordless login — Just your email and a code. No password to forget.
- Visual organization — Drag-and-drop cards on a grid. Create Spaces for projects or moodboards. Add hashtags when you want them.
- AI-powered search — Find anything you’ve saved, even when you can’t remember exactly what it was.
- Come back anytime — Your ideas are always there, organized and waiting.
Whether you’re building a moodboard, collecting research for a project, or just saving things you don’t want to forget—Tidi keeps it all in one place.
Building a “second brain” app means removing friction at every step. Passwordless authentication eliminates one more thing to remember. Auto-fetching link previews (via OpenGraph) means you can paste a URL and move on: idi handles the rest. The drag-and-drop grid feels natural because updates happen instantly without page reloads. And flexible organization (Spaces, tags, or neither) lets users work the way their minds actually work.
