Every messaging app you juggle — WhatsApp, Slack, Gmail, Signal, Discord — lives in one window, one sidebar. The AI summarizes unread threads across platforms before you even open them. The mental overhead of "which app was that in" disappears.

Paste

Paste

Everything you've ever copied is still there, searchable, pasteable in any order. The stuff you copy ten times a day because you can't find the original? It was in Paste the whole time. Privacy rules let it auto-skip passwords and card numbers.

Town

Town

Town's AI studies your reply patterns and phrasing, then drafts responses in your voice before you open the thread. Not a chatbot you prompt — an assistant that's already done the thinking.

Littlebird

Littlebird

Littlebird passively builds a searchable memory of your day across every app — docs, emails, meetings. Ask "what did I decide last Tuesday" and it actually knows.

Granola

Granola

No meeting bot joins your calls. Granola quietly captures audio from your Mac, then turns whatever scattered notes you jotted into a clean structured document after the call ends. Meeting backlog, cleared.

Typeahead

Wherever you type — email, Slack, Notion, code — Typeahead reads context and suggests the next phrase. Hit Tab. Entirely local, never touches a server.

Each site you sign up for gets its own alias. Spam hits the alias, not your inbox. A service leaks or annoys you — delete the alias. Gone. Your real inbox stays clean from the start.
