Step 01 · Capture

Drop the chaos in.

Paste an email. Drag in a transcript. Record a voice memo on your phone, or scribble a note after a call. Runwita doesn't care what shape the raw material arrives in. It will all become part of the same thread.

One inbox. Everything you've ever said, written, or been told about a piece of work.

Step 02 · Extract

Get the thread back.

Runwita reads what you drop in and pulls out the bones. The topic, the people, the decision pending, the sentiment shift, the deadline you'd half-forgotten. Each piece lands in the right journey, automatically.

You review. You correct. You stay in charge of what gets remembered.

Extraction complete. A note now shows summary, three topics, decisions, actions with owners and due dates, and attendees, all editable.
Step 03 · Navigate

The journey, alive.

Every file becomes a living document. A timeline of moments, threaded by topic, weighted by who said what, and aware of the decisions still hanging. Open one and you're not staring at a folder. You're standing inside the story.

Drill into any moment. Ask why did this stall? and Runwita walks you to the turn that explains it.

A Runwita journey view: open threads with their trajectories across time, watch items, journey health, decisions standing, open actions, core people.
If Claude is your second brain

Runwita becomes its memory.

Runwita ships with an MCP server. Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, anything MCP-compatible can read your journeys, write back into them, and keep the thread intact as you work. No copy-paste, no context-window gymnastics.

Tell Claude "add this to the Maplewood journey" and it lands where it belongs.

Local-first by default

Your work stays on your Mac.

A single SQLite file you can copy, back up, encrypt, or delete. No cloud account. No sync surprise. No telemetry sneaking out.

  • Single SQLite file. Open it in any tool. Move it between machines. Own it forever.
  • Bring your own keys. Plug in Claude or OpenAI for extraction, or run fully local with Ollama.
  • No account required. Until you opt into cloud sync, the app just runs.
  • Mac-native, today. Built for macOS first. Windows and Linux on the roadmap.

A pile of notes isn't memory.
Runwita gives it a direction.

— the bigger idea, in one line

FAQ

The honest questions.

Is my data used to train AI models?

No. Runwita stores everything locally in a SQLite file on your Mac. When you bring your own Claude or OpenAI key, your prompts go directly to that provider under your account and their terms. Runwita never sees, stores, or relays them. Run fully local with Ollama and nothing leaves the machine, ever.

How is this different from Notion, Obsidian, or a CRM?

Notion and Obsidian are shelves, you put things on them and take things off. A CRM is a spreadsheet, fields, stages, dashboards. Runwita is neither. It's a thinking tool for work that has a long arc: it reads what you produce, threads it into a journey, and helps you see why the file is where it is. The closest neighbour is a research notebook, not a productivity app.

What's the catch with the Believer tier?

No catch, but it's a real bet on a one-person project. If I get hit by a bus, you get the source code under an escrow agreement and a community fork. If I keep building, you get every Pro feature for life and a say in what comes next. 200 slots, then it's gone.

Mac only? What about Windows or Linux?

Mac first, deliberately. Building one polished thing beats three half-broken ones. Windows is on the roadmap for late 2026; Linux follows. The data format (SQLite + a JSON manifest) is portable from day one. When the other clients ship, your journeys come with you.

Can my team use it together?

Today, no. Runwita is single-player by design. The current focus is the rep, the consultant, the researcher carrying their own files. Multiplayer is on the roadmap, but only as an opt-in sync layer over your existing local store. Your file stays yours.

What happens if you stop building Runwita?

Your data is a SQLite file on your hard drive. You can open it in any tool that reads SQLite, forever. If the project ever winds down, the source goes public and Believer-tier customers get a community fork. Runwita is built to outlive me, not lock you in.
