PRODUCT
One library that
remembers for you
Four parts that work together: capture from anywhere, connections by meaning, a daily review that sticks, and search that understands what you meant.

01 · CAPTURE

Save from anywhere in a second

Lumen meets you where the idea shows up: a page in your browser, a PDF on your desk, a thought on a walk. Everything lands in one inbox with its source attached, ready to be found later.
The browser clipper keeps the source, author and date
Voice notes are transcribed and tidied for you
Forward any email to your private Lumen address

Ideas find each other on their own

Lumen reads what each note is about, not just the words in it. A podcast quote, a book highlight and your own half-formed thought end up side by side when they make the same point.
Related notes appear on every note you open
See whether a note agrees with, contrasts or illustrates another
Threads form by themselves as a topic grows
03 · DAILY REVIEW

Two minutes a day, and nothing slips away

Each morning Lumen picks a few notes you have not seen in a while and spaces the repeats, so good ideas come back right before you would have forgotten them.
Five notes a day, or as many as you choose
Keep it, snooze it for a week, or let it go
Star the ideas you never want to lose

04 · SEARCH

Search the way you remember

You rarely remember the exact words. Describe the gist and Lumen finds the note you meant, then shows how closely each result matches.
Type the gist instead of exact keywords
Narrow by source, thread or date when you need to
Every result shows why it matched
