Char is a private, on-device AI notepad that analyzes and enriches your handwritten or typed notes to build a searchable personal knowledge base you control.
Char is a private, on-device AI notepad designed to help you capture, refine, and organize your own thinking without relying on cloud services or intrusive meeting bots. Its primary purpose is to enhance the notes you already takeβsummarizing, structuring, and connecting themβwhile keeping all content local to your device. This allows you to stay fully present in conversations and meetings while building a personal knowledge base you control end to end.
Char offers AI-assisted summaries, highlights, and reorganizations of your notes so you can quickly revisit key points and decisions. Because everything runs on-device, your raw notes, processed summaries, and derived insights never leave your machine, supporting stricter privacy and compliance requirements. The tool supports export to platforms like Notion and other knowledge systems, letting you move refined content into existing workflows on your terms. Rather than recording meetings or injecting bots into calls, Char works entirely from the notes you choose to capture, giving you granular control over what is processed and stored.
