You know the answer. You just can't recall it right now.

That template you've written a dozen times. That shortcut you keep looking up. That color code that's somewhere in your notes. Every time, the same loop.

  1. You're working on something
  2. You need that snippet/template/shortcut
  3. Open browser, search through notes

  5. Find it buried in a doc somewhere
  6. Copy, switch back, paste
~30 seconds, every single time

Why I built this

J

I built BrainRAM because I was tired of the same loop: know something, forget the exact detail, spend 30 seconds searching for it, find it, use it, forget it again next week.

It started as a personal tool — a way to pin my most-used references where I could always find them. No searching, no browser tabs, no context switching. Just hold a hotkey and grab what I need.

That loop isn't unique to me. Whether you're a developer looking up commands, a designer grabbing color codes, or a support agent sending the same response — we all have knowledge we know but can't always recall.

No VC money, no growth team — just a real tool for a real problem.

— Jonathan, maker of BrainRAM

Frequently asked questions

Yes. BrainRAM is free for individuals during early access — all features, all platforms, no limits. A paid Team tier is planned for organizations, but the personal version will always be free.
No. BrainRAM works 100% offline. Your snippets are stored locally on your machine and never uploaded anywhere. The only network activity is an optional anonymous usage ping once per 30 days, which you can easily disable in Settings.
Windows (exe & msi), macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel), and Linux (AppImage & deb). Built with Rust + Tauri for native performance on every platform.
Absolutely. Create unlimited pages with custom names, colors, and emoji. Arrange snippets in a flexible grid, choose from 13 grid sizes, and organize however works for you. You can also import shared pages from other users.
Those are great for long-form notes. BrainRAM is for the stuff you need in under a second — the shortcut you can't remember, the template you paste 10 times a day, the color code you keep looking up. It's always one hotkey away, no browser tabs to manage.
BrainRAM isn't code-signed yet (indie project, certificates are expensive). On Windows, click "More info" then "Run anyway." On macOS, right-click the app and select "Open." This only happens once — subsequent launches are normal.
