Edubba is your personal memory vault
Capture anything - notes, documents, conversations. Find it instantly with AI-powered search and chat. Private, encrypted, and entirely on your device.
How It Works
Capture - Drag in files, paste text, or quick-capture a thought. Edubba extracts and indexes everything automatically.
Search - Hybrid retrieval combines semantic understanding with full-text search. Find what you need by meaning, not just keywords.
Chat - Ask questions in natural language and get synthesized answers drawn from your personal knowledge. (Pro)
Explore - See your memories as visual maps, timelines, and connections. (Pro)
Privacy First
Local-first — your data is stored and encrypted on your Mac, never on our servers
On-device embeddings by default — search works without any cloud calls
AI chat uses your own API key with OpenAI — we never see your keys or your queries
Encrypted database (SQLCipher)
App lock with password protection
No accounts, no tracking, no telemetry
