You say it, badly,
and carry on.

No form. No type picker. No folder to choose while you are still mid-thought. Five seconds, and it is out of your head.

One line in a plain text file.

- pick up the dry cleaning
- book lisbon flight before thurs, ties to the trip
- that soil biology video sam sent
- ask about the deposit

Nothing has been decided yet, and nothing needs to be. The file is yours, it is in your git, and it would still be readable in thirty years.

It comes back typed.

A type, a deadline read out of the word "thurs", an importance you can always overrule, and the links it noticed on its own.

A task can point at anything — a person, a place, a day, or a type you invented last week. So every one of them grows a list of its own, free.

It still lands.

Hit ⌘K anywhere, or just tell Claude out loud. It goes in raw and comes back structured.

Plain markdown, in your own git

Nothing to sync, nothing to export, nothing that can hold your notes hostage. Skip Claude for a week and capture still works.

Money, on the
same record

Your types are yours

The eight it ships with are the boring ones.

A type's icon, colour, fields, what its cards print and how its page sorts are all data in your own vault. Inventing one is a change to your brain alone.

Plant the first thing you'd otherwise forget.

Loam is being built in the open and is not taking sign-ups yet. When it is, your brain will be a git repository from its first minute — on your own machine, in files that outlive the app that made them.
