Welcome to Refpoint: A New Way to Connect Your Thoughts

We're excited to introduce Refpoint, a personal notes and calendar app built around one simple idea: everything is a reference point.

The Problem with Traditional Note Apps

Most note-taking apps force you into one of two camps:

  1. Folder-based organization — where you spend more time deciding where to put something than actually capturing the thought
  2. Tag-heavy systems — where you end up with hundreds of tags that you'll never remember to use consistently

Both approaches fight against how your brain actually works. You don't think in folders. You think in connections.

How Refpoint is Different

In Refpoint, you create pages for anything that matters to you—a person, a project, a place, an idea. Then you connect them with @mentions.

When you type @person:Sarah in your meeting notes, that creates a two-way link. Sarah's page now shows she was mentioned in those notes. No filing required. No tags to remember.

What You Can Do

  • Create pages for anything: People, projects, places, events, ideas
  • Connect with @mentions: Type @ anywhere to reference something
  • See relationships build: Every page shows what's connected to it
  • Set reminders naturally: "Remind me next Tuesday" just works
  • Keep everything in one place: Calendar, notes, contacts—all connected

Getting Started

The best way to start is simple: create a page for something you're working on right now. Maybe it's a project, maybe it's a person you're meeting with today. Then, as you write about it, mention the other things involved.

Within a few days, you'll have a personal web of knowledge that grows with you.
