Self-hosted
For people who want control, already have AI keys, or prefer to run their thinking system themselves.
Capture pricing
Own your thinking. Pay only for hosting.
Capture is not a subscription trap for your notes. The full thinking system stays free and open source. Cloud exists for people who want the managed path.
Decision rule
If removing a paid service makes the free product worse at thinking, it is the wrong thing to charge for.
Free forever includes
- Fast capture
- Threads
- Intentions
- Actions
- Distill and cleanup
- Local storage
- Import and export
- Bring your own AI keys
Capture Cloud is optional
Cloud does not buy a better thinking system. It buys less setup, less maintenance, and less risk of losing work.
- Sync without setup
- Backups without maintenance
- Managed AI for normal personal use
- Publishing and hosting when you need a public surface
