Local-first notes for a life of ideas

Keep the things worth keeping.

Lar is a private place for thoughts you want to return to—calm enough to write in, structured enough to grow with you.

A workspace, not a pile

A thought should not end where you wrote it.

A sentence can become a source for a project, a reminder for tomorrow, or the beginning of an idea. Lar gives the important things in your life a shape—and keeps their context close.

One note, more useful places

Let the idea travel without losing its home.

Write freely first. When a thought matters, connect it to the people, projects, books, and next steps around it. The original note stays human; its context becomes useful.

How Lar connects notes
One thought, held in context.
01 Capture

Start before you know where it belongs.

A passing line, a meeting detail, a book worth returning to. Put it down without making a filing decision first. Lar keeps the unfinished thought in Captures until you are ready.

Explore capture
Capture the thought while it is still alive.
02 Give it shape

Make the notes that matter easier to use.

A note can stay a note. A book, person, project, or task can have the details that make it recognisable at a glance—and relationships that keep it from becoming another dead end.

Explore Objects
Structure when it adds meaning—not overhead.
03 Find the thread

Come back to the right thing at the right time.

Search across what you wrote, then follow the relationships around it. Lar is built for the moment an old idea suddenly becomes relevant again.

Explore search
Find the thought, then the context around it.
