How Clear Tangle organizes your knowledge.
Clear Tangle uses a simple but powerful model to organize your knowledge. Understanding these core concepts will help you get the most out of the system.
Design philosophy
Key concepts
Captures
The atomic unit of your knowledge base. A capture is any piece of information you want to save — text, voice recording, image, or file.
Projects
Organizational containers that group related captures, tasks, and pages. Think of them as contexts or areas of focus.
Pages
Long-form documents with rich text editing. Perfect for wikis, notes, documentation, or saving AI chat responses.
Tasks
Action items automatically extracted from your captures by AI. Every task links back to its source for full context.
Conversations
Chat sessions where you interact with AI about your knowledge base. Conversations are saved and searchable.
AI Memories
Persistent facts about you that AI learns over time. Used to personalize responses across all conversations.
How data flows
Create a capture via text, voice, or image. This is instant — your thought is saved immediately.
AI asynchronously analyzes your capture: categorizing, tagging, summarizing, and creating embeddings.
Tasks are extracted, connections are made, and your capture becomes searchable and queryable.
Clear Tangle automatically discovers relationships between your captures using semantic similarity. The Knowledge Graph visualizes these connections, often revealing patterns you didn't notice.
