Search by word or by meaning, in any language, across your screen, your meetings and your documents. Ask a question and the answer cites the moments it came from.
Meetings
Every call, written down and translated.
Earlyn notices the call and asks before it records. Speech becomes text on your Mac in any language, lines are translated live, and a summary with action items is waiting when the call ends.

Open loops
Who promised what, and is it done?
Decisions and promises from every meeting in one list: who promised what, by when, and whether it is done. The customer requests that keep coming up, grouped and ready for Linear.
Life and Library
Your days, written up for you.
A sentence for each day, a heatmap of the last two weeks, half-hour write-ups of what you did, and the people, projects and organizations that came up.
Yesterday
Shipped the pricing page, two calls about the launch, an afternoon in Xcode.
Memory for AI agents
Give Claude Code a memory, and eyes.
One click registers Earlyn as a local MCP server in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf or Gemini CLI. Your agents search what you saw, read your meeting notes, and check their own work on screen, over 127.0.0.1 only.
Screen recordings
Record it. Share it with who you choose.
Press ⇧⌥5 to record the screen, a window or an area with your voice. Every recording stays on your Mac, and the ones you share go to your private library, open only to the people you invite.
And much more
Small things that add up.
Earlyn is built for the way you actually work on a Mac: everything is a shortcut away, and nothing waits on a server.
Search by meaning
“music” finds the YouTube tab, and a Turkish question finds an English page. The search model runs on your Mac.
Your documents, too
PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Markdown files in folders you choose, in the same search as your screen.
Remember this
Press ⇧⌥M to keep a full-resolution picture of the screen right now, with a note.
Compare two moments
See exactly which text changed in a document between this morning and now.
Known voices
Name a voice once and Earlyn recognises it in later meetings.
Action items to Reminders
Send what was decided in a call to Apple Reminders in one click.
Import any recording
Drop in an audio or video file; it is transcribed and summarised like a live call. Export it as a PDF.
Numbers, not guesses
Ask what you did on a project last week and get the time per app and per project, counted from what Earlyn kept.
From the terminal
earlyn search, earlyn ask and earlyn context give your shell the same memory.
Keyboard first
Everything is a shortcut away.
Search from any app, ask instead of search, and move through your day without touching the mouse.
Search from anywhere

Private by design.
Your memory is encrypted and stays on your Mac. Nothing is sent unless you choose to: a cloud model with your own key, or an app you connect.
Locked on your Mac
Text and transcripts in SQLCipher with a 256-bit key, screen pictures sealed with AES-GCM, keys in your Mac’s keychain.
Never captured
Apps you exclude, private and incognito windows, password fields, and moments that contain API keys, tokens or card numbers.
Delete means delete
Pause from the menu bar, delete the last hour, forget a single memory or delete everything. Deleted means removed from disk, not hidden.
No analytics
There are no analytics and no crash reporters in the app. Updates are signed and installed only when you agree.
