It satisfied many of the requirements I was looking for in a notetaking / history tracking / research tool.
Oh hey, HeydayĪ little more poking around led me to what is now known as Heyday. Journal, as it turns out, is – let’s call it Heyday v0.1 – and it was shut down. Along that journey, I found a reference to Journal*. Hundreds of web pages visited, 30-40 open browser tabs, countless forums, and a slowly solidifying list of recommended tools that do something similar. Because that is what I do.Įarly competitive research led me – as research does – all over the web. This was actually a fusion of two different ideas I had: 1) solve the problem of all of this lost data I wanted to remember, 2) easily share inspiring or thought-provoking text on social media (and include the source of where I found it) in graphic form.īecause most content marketers are either content creators or content curators, I’ve discovered many tools cater to one or the other. I began looking for something where I could highlight inspiring text across the web and save it in a single repository. We haven’t even factored Kindle highlights, yet! But who wants to use 7+ apps to “remember” stuff they read? For that, Pocket, Instapaper, or Evernote work well. It doesn’t account for interesting tidbits I may find across the web in other sources. Some people use Feedly to save interesting articles, but it requires the article to already be in a subscribed feed. Of course, there are bookmark managers for interesting sites – but who really goes back to those? And who will search the whole page a year (or two, or six) later to find the exact quote that sparked the lightbulb moment? Not to mention what happens if the webpage disappears forever – now the bookmark is useless. The default Notes app on iOS was a strong contender for a lot of information, it is always there, easy to use, and forces me not to overthink it. It grew to be bloated, slow, and laborious managing notebooks, tags, and notes. I used Evernote for years (it was set to renew last month and I realized that I had been paying for it for more than 8 years), but it brought me little to no joy (I just canceled it). None of them left me particularly satisfied or made me feel confident that my information was somewhere I could reach it when needed. I have a mixed bag of tools, apps, and processes that I’ve accumulated over the years to keep notes, track ideas, recall what I’ve read, or file away information. Now, your personal AI assistant can display exactly what you’re thinking of, exactly when you need it.
It is perfect for folks who, like me, have a wide spectrum of interests, research a number of topics (often at the same time), or frequently think, “ I know I read about something like this before …“ It curates what you’ve read and turns it into your own personal knowledge base. Not only that, but it creates a history of your visited websites, notes, highlights, and Tweets. As you continue to browse the web, Heyday’s artificial intelligence engine recalls similar content that you’ve seen and presents it.
Heyday is a browser extension that automatically saves the web pages you visit.
