The note can start anywhere.
The memory stays in one place.
Type it in the app, message it from WhatsApp, forward an email, answer a calendar prompt, or save a plan straight out of Claude or ChatGPT. Every door leads to the same private memory.
You already think out loud
with your AI.
So say @notivo when a bit of it is worth keeping. The plan lands in Notivo as an ordinary note, filed to the person and the topic. Your assistant can add to your memory. It can never read it back.
Billing migration shipped two days before the cutoff. Closed 34 of 41 sprint tickets. Median PR review turnaround moved from about three days to under one.
Agreed next: pairs with Ana on the invoicing service, I grant repo access, revisit at the 1:1 on the 12th.
Due: at the 1:1 on the 12th
An ordinary note in your own notes list, indistinguishable from one you typed. Say the same thing twice and you get one note, not two.
And here it is actually running
No setup at all? Paste the plan into a note instead. That is free on every account.
Five doors, open today.
The obvious door, opening Notivo and typing, always works. These are the other five, each one live in the product right now.
Type it, or just say it
Message a moment the way you’d text a colleague, and it is a note seconds later. Keep talking and everything you send in the next half hour joins the same note, so one train of thought stays in one place.
Forward it, and it’s filed
Every account gets a private capture address. Forward from whichever mail app you already live in, and that email becomes one note: the subject is the title, the body is the note.
It asks. You answer.
Connect your calendar and Notivo knows who you actually sat with. It surfaces the meeting you haven’t written anything about yet, with the person already mentioned. An event never becomes a note on its own.
One POST, from anything you can script
Mint a personal token in Notivo, then send a note with a single request: an Apple Shortcut on your home screen, a keyboard macro, a cron job, anything that speaks HTTP. The @names and #tags get picked out by the same code the editor uses.
POST /capture/v1/note
Authorization: Bearer <your token>
Content-Type: application/json
{"text": "@dana asked for more scope #followup"}
→ 202 {"ok": true} Send the identical body twice and you get one note, not two. The note’s address is derived from its own contents.
However the note starts, it lands in the same place: one timeline, organized by person, topic and time.
Pick your assistant.
One connection URL per assistant, unique to your account. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or both. After that, @notivo is the whole interface.
Connect Claude in four steps
Claude gives every account one custom-connector slot, so this works whether you are on Free, Pro, or Team.
- In Notivo, open Settings, then AI Capture, press Connect next to Claude, and copy the URL it shows. It is shown once; reconnecting mints a new one and revokes the old.
- In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors.
- Choose Add custom connector and paste your Notivo URL.
- Back in the chat, plan as usual. Say @notivo to save something, and set your capture topics so your assistant knows what is worth keeping.
Connect ChatGPT
- Confirm you are on a paid ChatGPT plan, then turn on Developer Mode in ChatGPT settings.
- In Notivo, open Settings, then AI Capture, press Connect next to ChatGPT, and copy the URL it shows. ChatGPT gets its own URL; connecting it never disturbs Claude.
- In ChatGPT, add a new MCP server and paste that URL.
- Plan as usual, then say @notivo to save something to your Notivo.
Three tools, and that is all of them. None can read, search, list, edit or delete a note. There is no fourth tool and no way to add one from the chat.
More doors, being built.
No dates on purpose. A door sits here while it is being built, and moves up only once it works end to end.
Send a link, a screenshot or a thought to Notivo from the iOS share sheet.
File an email to a person’s timeline without leaving Gmail.
Send a message to Notivo the way you already can on WhatsApp.
Link what you noticed to the work it happened in.
What Notivo won’t capture.
Every door in is one you open yourself, and each one is narrower than you might expect. That is the design, not a limitation.
Your chat history. The connector saves what you point at with @notivo. It has no tool that can read, search or list a note, so nothing comes back out of your Notivo and into the chat.
Your inbox. Notivo has no access to it. It only sees a message you forward, from a sender address you verified, and it never mails anything back.
Your files. Nothing you attach is stored. Notivo writes the filename into the note and tells you the file was not saved.
What was said in a meeting. The calendar gives Notivo a title, a time and a guest list. There is no transcript, no recording and no audio in the feature at all.
Your team’s activity. Notivo captures what you observed, never what your people do. It never scores, rates or ranks the people you write about. A notebook, not a tracker.
The Black Box. Every channel writes an ordinary private note. A note marked for the vault is refused outright, on every channel, including a spoken one.
A captured note is a regular private note, scoped to your account and stored on secured infrastructure. It is not end-to-end encrypted; only the Black Box vault is. Voice notes are turned into text by a third-party transcription model, so the audio does leave Notivo to be transcribed.
The honest version
Can my AI assistant read my Notivo notes?
No. The connector gives your assistant exactly three tools: save a plan, save a note about a person, and list the capture topics you configured. None of them can read, search, list, edit or delete a note. It can add to your Notivo and nothing else.
Do I need a paid AI plan to connect?
It depends on the assistant. Claude works on any plan, including Free, using its one custom-connector slot. ChatGPT works only with Developer Mode turned on and a paid ChatGPT plan (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu). That paid requirement is set by OpenAI, not by Notivo. On the Notivo side, setting your topics is free, and saving from a chat is part of the Notivo Plus plan.
What happens to files I forward by email?
They are not stored. Notivo lists the attachment names in the note and says plainly that the files were not saved. If you forward a contract, you get a note that mentions the filename, not the contract. Forwarded mail also keeps its quoted history, because trimming a forward would throw away the part you meant to keep.
Does connecting my calendar mean Notivo reads my meetings?
It reads the title, the time and the guest list of meetings on your own primary calendar. It never reads the description, and there is no transcript, recording or audio anywhere in the feature. It uses that to ask whether a meeting was worth a note; your answer is the note. An event never becomes a note on its own, and Notivo only ever prompts you about people already in your Notivo.
Is a captured note secure and private?
A captured note is a regular Notivo note, private by default and scoped to your own account, stored on secured infrastructure. It is not end-to-end encrypted; only the Black Box vault is, and no capture channel can write into the Black Box. Treat a captured note the way you would any private cloud note.
