orma is your personal memory.

It becomes your sidekick. It lives on your Mac. You own it.

you put in

Capture as you work.

  • Notes. Type, or talk and it is written down.
  • Meetings. Record the call. orma writes it up.
  • Reads. ⌘⇧U saves the page you are on.
  • Documents. Drag in PDFs, Word files or Markdown.
  • Or just tell orma. ⌥Space from anywhere on your Mac to type it, ⇧⌥Space to say it.

orma remembers

It all becomes your memory.

orma connects your notes, meetings, reads and documents by subject. Open a note and Related context shows what goes with it.

Each detail it learns about a person shows on their page, where you can fix or remove it.

Filing, tagging and linking are optional.

it works with you

Then it works with you.

  • Ask, and the answer comes from your own material, with its sources.
  • Have it act in your calendar, and in email (beta, by invite). Anything another person receives waits for your yes.
  • Before a meeting with other people, its prep from your notes and past meetings waits on Home. Needs Google Calendar.
  • Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity and Le Chat, and agents on your Mac, can work from the same memory.

why it lives on your Mac

It only works if it's yours.

Every AI can use the same frontier models. What makes one yours is what it remembers about you: your meetings, your notes, the people you work with. The more it holds, the more useful it becomes.

Jarvis and Cortana were never just intelligence. They were intelligence with context. orma is that memory layer, for you and for your agents.

So the memory has to belong to you, not to the model. orma keeps it on your Mac, lets you export it, and connects it to AI apps like Claude. Models will change. Your memory stays yours.

  • On your Mac. Your library lives on your Mac. Backup, if you turn it on, is encrypted before it leaves.
  • Yours to take. Export notes, meeting summaries and saved links to Markdown, on any plan.
  • It asks first. Nothing reaches another person without your yes.
  • No ads. Nothing sold. You pay for the product.

Intelligence is moving onto the devices around you. Each one will need to know who you are. orma is becoming the memory that travels with you, and outlives any model or app.
