MemoRouter started from a frustration with note apps: the moment you have the thought is never the moment you can open a laptop.
the brief
MemoRouter started from a frustration with note apps: the moment you have the thought is never the moment you can open a laptop. So the capture point moved to the wrist.
Speak a note on the watch, and it lands in a vault you own — plain files, Obsidian-compatible, no lock-in. Recall works the other way: ask for something and it finds the thread.
the tricky bit
Note apps fail at the only moment that matters. The thought arrives while you are walking, driving or mid-conversation, and by the time a laptop is open the thought has gone or been flattened into something duller.
The second problem is the exit. Anything worth trusting with years of thinking has to be something you can walk away from with your notes intact.
what I did
Capture moved to the wrist. Speak a note on the watch and it lands without a phone in the loop — the watch app runs standalone over WiFi rather than acting as a remote control for something in your pocket.
Storage is plain files, Obsidian-compatible, in a vault you own. No proprietary format and no export button to hunt for, because the export is the storage.
Recall runs the other way round: instead of remembering where you filed something, you ask for it and the thread comes back.
