Scaffold a personal knowledge base in a workspace — organize notes, meetings, contacts, and TODOs into a structured folder layout using customizable blueprint templates.
- Blueprint templates — Choose a template that matches your role (Individual Contributor, People Manager) and get a ready-made folder structure
- Explorer decorations — Color-coded badges and labels on folders for quick visual navigation
- Default files — Right-click folders to open pre-configured files side by side
- Folder/file visibility toggling — Hide/show folders and files (like
.memoria/or.gitignore) with one command - Scheduled backup — Automatically zip selected files to a target folder (e.g. OneDrive) on a recurring schedule
- Blueprint updates — Get notified when a newer version of your blueprint is available
