Features

QuickCapture

Voice Capture

Whisper-powered dictation turns spoken thoughts into searchable, transcribed Pearls. Speak naturally — FlowTether handles the rest.

Web Clipper

Browser extension clips any page — including Gemini, Perplexity, and other AI chats that don't have native export. Clean extraction, instant Pearl creation.

Forms

Structured data capture with templates. Define repeating patterns once, fill them quickly. Each submission creates a Pearl with all the structured metadata intact.

Pearls

The atom of knowledge. A Pearl is one idea — a note, an uploaded file, a web clip, an extracted insight, a voice recording. Searchable, linkable, permanent.

Buoys

Group related Pearls. Nest them inside each other for hierarchy when you need it. Think of them as flexible containers that bend to your mental model.

Nets

Broad thematic domains — People, Projects, Ideas, Signals. Nets give your knowledge a lightweight top-level shape without forcing premature organization.

Harbors

Fully isolated workspaces. Keep Work and Personal completely separate — different themes, different AI contexts, zero data leakage between them.

Landmarks

Visual markers on your Swim. Pin important locations in your knowledge landscape. Navigate back to key areas instantly.

Auto-Linking

FlowTether detects semantic connections between your Pearls and suggests links. Ideas find each other — you don't have to remember they exist.

Tags & Metadata

Tag anything. Filter everything. Automatic sentiment classification detects the tone of your content. Custom tags, topic tags - all searchable.

List View

Sometimes you want rows and columns. The List view gives you a spreadsheet-style lens on your containers for bulk operations and sorting.

SlipStream

Lumi

Context-aware AI assistant. Warm, direct, no hedging. Lumi knows where you are in FlowTether and offers help that's actually relevant to what you're doing.

Manifest

Long-form document assembly. Pull together Pearls from across your knowledge base into a structured document. Export as Markdown or HTML - with PDF and DOCX export coming soon.

Tides (Calendar)

Time-based view of your knowledge. See upcoming signals, events, and recurring nudges. Your knowledge on a timeline.

Focus Timer

Built-in Pomodoro with Herald Fish companion. Work, rest, drift — with an ambient Aquarium screensaver for break time. Focus without leaving your workspace.

Semantic Search

Vector embeddings on all content via pgvector + Qdrant. Search by meaning, not just keywords. Ask "what did I think about pricing?" and get results across notes, chats, PDFs, and spreadsheets.

Full-Text Search

When you know the exact phrase, full-text search has your back. Both search modes work together — hybrid results ranked by relevance.

Cross-Source Results

One search spans everything: notes, AI conversations, imported documents, web clips, voice recordings, spreadsheet rows. No more searching five apps.

ChatGPT Import

Export your ChatGPT JSON and import your entire conversation history. Every chat becomes searchable. Extract key insights into Pearls.

Claude Import

Bring in your Claude conversations. Months of AI dialogue, finally searchable and connected to the rest of your knowledge.

Notion Import

Pages and databases from Notion. Your markdown content, preserved and enhanced with semantic search you never had in Notion.

Obsidian Import

Full vault import. Your markdown files, wiki-links, and folder structure — all preserved and now searchable by meaning, not just filename.

Roam Research Import

Graph-structured notes from Roam. Your knowledge graph, now part of a bigger picture with AI that actually understands it.

Evernote Import

Notebook exports from Evernote. Escape the sinking ship and bring your years of collected knowledge with you.

PDF, DOCX & Markdown

Document ingestion for the three formats that hold most of the world's knowledge. Full text extraction, searchable immediately.

Excel & CSV

Turn spreadsheets of ideas, contacts, research data, or project lists into searchable knowledge. Column-aware import with form integration.

Web Clipper

Native browser extension. Clip any webpage, AI chat, article, or reference. Clean extraction — not a screenshot, actual content.

Voice (Whisper)

Speak and it becomes searchable text. Whisper-powered transcription means your spoken thoughts are first-class knowledge.

Confluence Import

Enterprise wiki migration. Bring your team's institutional knowledge out of Atlassian's walled garden and into a sovereign, searchable system.

Real Export

Export your entire knowledge base or just the pieces you need. JSON, Markdown, PDF, or DOCX — in formats that actually make sense outside FlowTether. No data hostage situations.

Manifest Export

Assemble Pearls into long-form documents and export as Markdown or HTML. PDF and DOCX export coming soon. From fragments to finished product.

API Keys

Generate personal API keys for programmatic access. Build custom integrations, automate imports, or connect your own tools to your knowledge graph.

MCP Server

Model Context Protocol integration. Claude, Cursor, and other AI tools can search and write to your FlowTether knowledge base. Your knowledge becomes your agent's persistent memory.

Harbor Isolation

Every workspace has full data isolation at the database level. Queries are filtered by user_id AND harbor_id. No admin panel browses your data.

AI Security Layer

Five categories of input sanitization. Three categories of output scanning. RAG injection defense. Prompt leak detection. The AI is locked down.

The Membrane

When AI tools connect via MCP or API, writes are rate-limited, quota-controlled, and security-scanned. API key authentication and harbor isolation ensure nothing crosses the boundary without proper authorization. Full approval queues are in development.
