Dovetail

The product vision. Held here so it stays in view.

Anchor

Where the pieces of life fit together — held, ordered, and surfaced when it matters.

Headline

Relational intelligence across my life — people, finances, commitments, plans — known well enough to show up prepared and notice when something's shifting.

Functions

People: how each one fits: context, signal, drift, history
Prepare: meetings, the day, the week — getting set for what's coming
Account: the running tally: budget, receipts, records
Plan: the work still to be made: goals, projects
Capture: the small pieces, kept rather than swept away
Recall: pulling a piece back when it's needed: past meetings, decisions, history

Principles

Fast on the critical path

Daily use shouldn't strain. AI is opt-in support, never the gatekeeper.

Easy in, meaningful out (and noticed)

Every piece is easy to add; the right one returns in context; drift surfaces in each function, not as its own.

One piece in its place

One source of truth per concept. No duplicates rattling around.

Joins the parts, doesn't replace the shops

Dovetail does the joinery; the other tools own their domains.

Siblings

Chat: creative and day-to-day thinking
Code: software engineering — Claude Code + Cursor
Obsidian: reflective and long-form writing; the things you might still want to read in 10 years
Research: deep analysis and curation; sources, claims, drafts
