Welcome
Everpaper is a private, on-device daybook for macOS — a day journal, your meetings, and a second brain, all kept on your machine.
Everpaper is a private daybook for your Mac. It is one continuous book you turn through, page by page: a Day Journal for what you worked on, The Minutes for your meetings, and a Second Brain that learns from your history and can talk it back to you.
The window is page-based. Turn left and right between days, jump anywhere with the Index (⌘K), and let the red Ribbon bring you back to today. Everything you capture stays on this Mac.
The three pillars
Day Journal
The Day Journal is today's page in your book — a running record of what you did, so you can reflect on your decisions later. Turn between days with the left and right arrows, and use Ask the book on any page to pose a question about your day or your history.

The Minutes
The Minutes records and transcribes your meetings on-device. Start a recording from the Index or with ⇧⌘M; Everpaper can also watch your calendar and offer to begin minutes when a meeting starts, recognizing Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams links. Finished meetings are saved to your Library with a title you can rename.
Second Brain
The Second Brain learns from what you capture. Chat with your history, browse the Insights it has noticed, explore the Network of how people, projects, and ideas connect, and Export what you find — including drafting an email or a calendar event from the conversation.

Privacy
Everpaper is on-device by default:
- Capture, transcription, and storage stay local. Meetings are transcribed on your Mac, and your journal database never leaves it.
- No AI traffic without a provider you choose. If you don't connect an AI provider, nothing is sent anywhere — Ask the book and the Second Brain simply wait until one is configured.
- A local provider keeps everything on your machine. Connect Ollama or LM Studio and your text is processed locally, with no calls off the Mac.
- Cloud is opt-in. Sending your journal to a cloud provider is off until you explicitly turn it on, and the same gate applies uniformly to journal text, meeting transcripts, chat, and drafts.
