Why Thread
Memory tools remember what was said. Thread keeps track of what you think.
You think out loud with AI every day. The ideas you reach, the decisions you make and the questions you leave open end up scattered across tools and buried in old chats. Thread gathers them into one place, in your own words, and keeps them moving forward.
What makes it different
- 01
It keeps your thinking, not your chats.
Other tools save conversations or remember facts about you. Thread finds the ideas, decisions and open questions inside them, and keeps each one with the exact moment you said it.
- 02
One line of thought across every AI you use.
Your thinking doesn't live in one app. Thread follows it through ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity in your browser, and through Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and other tools on your Mac — as one body of thinking, not a dozen separate histories.
- 03
It knows the difference between the same idea and the same subject.
When you return to an idea in a new conversation, Thread joins it to the one you already have instead of starting a duplicate. Ideas about the same subject are linked as related, so you see the shape of your thinking, not a pile of fragments.
- 04
It learns how you think.
What counts as an idea is personal, so Thread learns yours. Every Keep or Not an idea teaches it your judgment, and when it isn't sure, it asks you a few quick questions — about the ideas where your answer teaches it the most. The more you use it, the more it thinks like you.
- 05
Ask it what you think.
Search “what do I think about pricing?” and Thread answers from your own thinking: where you stand now, in your words, how you got there, what you decided and what is still open — with a link back to each conversation. Not the AI's opinion. Yours.
- 06
It brings back what you left unanswered.
Questions you raised and never settled come back at the moment you return to the subject — when answering them is easiest.
- 07
Pick up exactly where you left off.
Open an idea and Continue: Thread writes where your thinking stands into the AI tool you choose, so the next conversation starts from your latest position instead of from scratch.
How it helps
- Founders
- Strategy, pricing and positioning get worked out across dozens of chats. Thread keeps the decisions and the reasons behind them in one place.
- Researchers and academics
- A line of inquiry runs for months. Thread holds your current position, the questions still open and the sources of each step.
- Writers
- The argument you sharpened last week in one tool is there when you sit down to write in another.
- Engineers
- Design decisions made with Cursor or Claude Code are captured on your Mac without an extension, and come back when you return to the code.
What it isn't
- A chat archive. Thread keeps the thinking; you can let it remove the raw conversations after the ideas are taken out.
- A notes app you have to maintain. You keep talking to your AI tools; Thread does the writing down.
- Training data. Thread never trains models on what you bring into it, and you can export or delete all of it at any time.
