flyingrobots/think

An instant thought-capture engine. Think records raw ideas the moment they appear.

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.

Why Think?

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).

Quick Start

1. Local Setup

Clone, install dependencies, and capture your first thought.

npm install
node ./bin/think.js "first captured thought"

2. Fast Ingress

Capture thoughts via CLI, stdin, or the macOS global hotkey (Cmd+Shift+I).

think "turkey is good in burritos"
printf 'piped input\n' | think --ingest

3. High-Fidelity Browse

Open the reader-first TUI to navigate your cognitive worldline.

think --browse
