I'm highly skeptical because there's been lots of apps that promise an external memory - Asana, Evernote, Notion, Obsidian. Most fall short. But the gap between Obsidian falling short and what I'd like it to do isn't worth $99 per year.

There's two productivity tools I find magical:

1. ChatGPT wired into my command prompt.

2. Dash: https://kapeli.com/dash

Both are fairly cheap, but I guess what I need is speed of access over quantity of storage. It's where most notekeeping apps fail, especially Asana, Notion, Evernote.

Notably both of them work well because I don't have to fill them in. Both dash and ChatGPT are prefilled. To remember a birthday or contact details from a business card, I'd have to put that in. Have you tried uploading business cards to Evernote? I paid for that feature but it still wasn't worth the trouble.
