The continuity layer for your thinking

Your thinking follows you.

AI conversations are ephemeral.
Thinking is cumulative.

Thread remembers the ideas you develop with AI — how they evolve, what they connect to, and where you left off.

Press ⌘ ⇧ T to recall — from any app.

  • Claude
  • ChatGPT
  • Gemini
  • DeepSeek
  • Cursor

An idea can evolve across ChatGPT, Cursor and Claude without getting lost.

Don't lose the thought just because the chat ended.

You can have a hundred conversations with AI and still lose the one idea that mattered.

Ideas move between chats and change over weeks. Often you only remember the thought — not where you had it.

Thread is built to remember that.

01 — IDEAS GET BURIED

Your thinking isn't linear. Your chats are.

The important idea might be 200 messages deep in a conversation you haven't opened in three weeks.

02 — SEARCH ISN'T ENOUGH

You can't search for what you can't remember.

You remember what you were thinking about, not necessarily the words you used.

03 — CONTEXT GETS RESET

A new chat often means reconstructing the reasoning all over again.

The work you did yesterday should be able to come with you today.

Yesterday's thinking comes with you.

"Where was I with this?"

Thread doesn't tell you what to think next. Come back to an AI tool after a gap and it surfaces the one thread you'd left open — restoring exactly enough for you to think again, and only when it's sure which one. If it isn't, it says nothing.

RESUME
You currently think the customer isn't “people who use AI” — it's people who think out loud with AI and keep losing the thread.
HOW THIS EVOLVED
AUG 17CHATGPT
AI is for everyone — too broad to build anything specific.
AUG 19CURSOR
Narrowed to people who use AI daily — still doesn't explain what's missing for them.
AUG 22CLAUDE
The real gap: people using AI to think, not just to produce output.
AUG 23CLAUDE
The customer isn't “AI users” — it's people who think out loud with AI and keep losing the thread.
UNRESOLVED QUESTION
Is that niche big enough to build on, or just sharp enough to start with?

The shift

Don't remember the chat.

Remember the thought.

Thread turns conversations into a persistent representation of the ideas you're actually developing.

Conversation→Idea→Evolution→Current state→Continue

Your ideas have a history.

An idea isn't a static note. It emerges. It changes. It connects. It gets challenged. It becomes a decision. Or it stays unresolved.

Thread captures that evolution — and surfaces the ideas that connect to it.

Narrowed from “AI is for everyone” to something that actually explains a gap.

Adds the counter-question: is a sharp niche enough to build a company on, or does it cap growth too early?
Claude24m ago
Reframes it once more — the niche is the entry point, not the ceiling. It's who you build the rest around.

Talk normally. Keep thinking.

You don't need to change how you work.

Use ChatGPT.

Use Claude.

Use Gemini.

Use Cursor.

Use whatever comes next.

Thread works underneath them.

01

Talk

Use AI normally.

02

Capture

Thread identifies meaningful thinking.

03

Connect

New thinking connects to ideas you've developed before.

04

Evolve

Ideas are refined rather than duplicated.

05

Recover

Find the thought, not the chat.

06

Continue

Pick up where you left off.

It runs on your Mac.

Every idea and its full history is mirrored on your Mac. Recall opens the instant you press the key, and works with no connection. Turning a new conversation into an idea happens on Thread's server — or, offline, on the model on your Mac.

INSTANT

By meaning, no spinner

Recall matches the thought, not the words you used — a local query, there as you type.

OFFLINE

Works anywhere

Capture a thought, find one, or pick one up with no connection. It syncs later.

PRIVATE

Local-first

Your idea graph is mirrored on your Mac and read there — no ad trackers, nothing sold. See the privacy page.

A frontier model is the upgrade, not the gate. Connect one and it sharpens the handoff — the loop itself already works without it.

Restart your Mac, move to a new one, sign in again — your thinking syncs back on its own.

Your thinking shouldn't belong to one model.

ChatGPT can remember things about you. So can Claude. But that memory doesn't travel between them.

Thread sits underneath all of them. Conversations from every tool feed one Thinking State — and when you continue, your AI gets the exact state of the thought, not your entire history, and picks up from there.

The handoff is a structured brief — current formulation, how it evolved, what's unresolved — assembled on your Mac. Compatible AI tools can also read the Thinking State directly through MCP.

AI made conversation abundant.

Thread makes thinking cumulative.

For people who use AI to think, research, decide, and build. Thread lives in your menu bar and works with the AI tools you already use.
