Minota

To be completely honest, I built Minota out of sheer personal need. As an independent product designer, I got burnt out juggling separate apps for notes, tasks, finances, and sensitive data, while still constantly messaging myself random links and screenshots on WhatsApp.

Minota started from that exact observation: people are already using WhatsApp as a kind of personal memory. We send ourselves ideas, screenshots, photos, links, voice notes, reminders, and important information. It works — until it doesn’t. Then we end up scrolling through hundreds of messages trying to find that one thing we knew we saved somewhere.

I wanted to solve that without asking people to change the way they already work.

So instead of building another rigid productivity app with a complex workflow to learn, we built Minota around a simple idea: just send it to Minota.

You can talk to it naturally through WhatsApp, and Minota remembers, organizes, and finds what you’ve saved. The web app gives you a clean, structured view when you need it — handling notes, tasks, calendar, personal finance, and a secure private vault.

The biggest challenge was actually deciding what not to build. We started with dozens of productivity features, but kept coming back to one question: Would this make someone's everyday life simpler? That became our guiding principle.

No new workflow. No complicated system. Just a place to put the things you don't want to lose.

We're live today, and I would genuinely love to hear from you: What do you currently send to yourself on WhatsApp? Ideas? Screenshots? Reminders? Random things you'll need later?

That behavior is exactly what we're trying to understand and improve. I'd love your feedback, questions, and support! 🚀
