I've always saved things. Screenshots, bookmarks, notes across five different apps. The problem was never that I saved too much — it was that everything disappeared the moment I saved it.
Every tool I tried made organizing feel like a second job. Tag this. Name that. File it before you forget. That friction kills the moment. You see something that matters and suddenly you're being asked to behave like a bureaucrat.
So I stopped organizing. And I started losing things.
The insight behind Trase is simple: memory doesn't work through folders. It works through feeling — the color of something, the mood it carried, the vague sense that you saw it last winter.
I wanted a place where saving was effortless and finding felt natural. Where the tool did the remembering, so I didn't have to. That's what I'm building.
Your mind doesn't organize itself. It leaves traces. Trase remembers them.
