Search modes

Hybrid (default)
Best for almost any query. Runs keyword (FTS5) and semantic searches in parallel and merges the rankings. Matches exact words AND understands meaning.
Keywords
Pure full-text search. Supports operators: slack OR discord, "exact phrase", prefix matches like migr match migration.
Semantic
Embeddings-only. Ask in natural language: "what was that auth bug I was debugging?" Requires uv sync --extra embeddings + PERSONA_EMBEDDINGS_ENABLED=true.

Notes (markdown)

Open any screenshot, write a note in the Notes box. Notes accept basic markdown: 

**bold** _italic_ `code`
[link](https://example.com)

- bullet
- list

> quote

Click Preview to see how it renders. Find all your notes in Journal.

Privacy reminders

  • Everything is saved to data/ on this machine. No telemetry.
  • Server binds to 127.0.0.1 only — not reachable from the network.
  • Capture pauses when idle for 5+ minutes (configurable).
  • Password managers and games are excluded by default. See Whitelist.
  • OCR redacts obvious secrets (emails, API keys, IBANs, card numbers) before storing.
  • BYO API keys for AI features go directly to providers — Persona never logs them.
