Quick Start
Get productive with Clear Tangle in 5 minutes
Clear Tangle is your AI-powered second brain. Capture thoughts in any format, let AI organize and connect them, then retrieve anything through natural conversation. Here's how to get started.
Pro Tip
Install Clear Tangle as a desktop app for global shortcuts. Press Alt+Space (Windows/Linux) or Option+Space (Mac) to capture from anywhere.
Capture your first thought
Click the capture button or press Cmd/Ctrl + K to open quick capture. Type or paste anything—a meeting note, an idea, a link. AI handles the rest.
Try voice capture too! Click the microphone icon or use keyboard shortcut to dictate your thoughts.
Watch AI organize it
Within seconds, Clear Tangle automatically categorizes your capture, adds relevant tags, generates a summary, and creates searchable embeddings.
Chat with your knowledge
Open the chat (Cmd/Ctrl + /) and ask questions like "What did I capture about project deadlines?" or "Summarize my notes from today."
Use @mentions to control context: @project:Work, @tag:meeting, or @thought to reference specific items.
Check your tasks
Navigate to Tasks to see action items automatically extracted from your captures. AI identifies commitments, deadlines, and todos buried in your notes.
