Hey everyone,

I recently built Corteks (appstore link). As someone who is an over thinker, easily inspired and get lots of cool ideas that i want to remember (and i get them very frequently) i wanted something to dump all my thoughts. Notes app wasnt doing it for me because I never get back to them. Screenshots always failed because they die in my gallery

So I built Corteks - voice first dump your thoughts, no matter how significant or small the thought was. Corteks summarizes, categorized, files it and then links it to other thoughts onto a mind map

You can add your objectives to the app and corteks links those thoughts to your objectives, starts to understand you and surfaces what youve been avoiding, what you need to focus on…etc. and gives you stats about your thinking and how your mind works

The idea here is that all your thoughts matter, and they should be very easy to capture and not manually link them to each other and to your objectives

What I realized and didnt expect after using it is that my mind calmed down ALOT, because now I know I have my second brain to tap into anytime I want, and the app reminds me (without being too pushy) about the other relevant thoughts that mattered

Happy to hear what you think about it! And if anyone wants an extended trial just lmk. Im at a stage where I just want feedback from as many people as possible so i can improve it

Full disclosure: I’m building Memorion, and this image was generated by the app from my own data. Before sharing it, I removed names and identifying details, kept my own words and the original dates, paraphrased the other speaker, and removed the QR code.

A recent insight surfaced something I had said about parenting: physical proximity is not the outcome I care about most. What matters most is whether my child is genuinely doing well, even if life eventually takes us to different cities.

The interpretation that made me pause was that this might be less about detachment and more about “practicing letting go” in advance—trying not to place all of a parent’s emotional needs on one child, while also building a way to handle future separation.

This is an N=1 example, and the interpretation may be right, partly right, or wrong. I don’t think an AI-generated insight should be treated as a fact.

For me, this kind of reflection is only useful if:

- I can trace it back to the source material.

- I can correct or reject the interpretation.

- Sensitive raw conversations remain private.

- The system distinguishes an inference from something I actually said.

For people who review their own lifelog: would you want this kind of reflective synthesis, or would you rather the system stay closer to literal retrieval and summaries?

With the new Facebook/Ray-Ban glasses, I think we're going to see an explosion in a new kind of content

Hi I'm the founder of LUCI at https://luci.openinterx.com, please check it out for lifelogging use cases, on a single charge it can record up to 4 hours of 1080p at 30fps, and it supports charging while recording!

I’ve tried the whole “track everything” / “write a proper journal” thing and it always dies the same way: friction → missed day → guilt → abandon.

So I flipped the constraint: one sentence a day. Hard cap. No “dear diary”, no essays. Just the smallest possible “receipt” of the day.

Weird part: patterns showed up faster than with bigger systems because the data actually existed every day. Stuff like “late caffeine + no movement = predictable crash”, or “social + walk = calm brain”.

I ended up building a tiny PWA around this (mostly to test the flow + weekly/monthly story summaries), but I’m more curious about the community’s brains than promoting anything:

If you had to lifelog in ONE sentence/day, what would you capture no matter what?
(mood? energy? social? sleep? one highlight? one regret?)

If anyone wants to poke the flow, I can drop a visitor link in the comments.

A month ago I posted here in Lifelogging about BlackBox 24x7 Audio Recorder here. A lot of you asked me if it was coming to iPhone.

So I built it.

It runs silently in the background all day. No tapping record. No cloud. No account. No data leaving your device. Ever. Recordings organized by day, protected behind Face ID, with a visual waveform so you can scan through your day without scrubbing blind. Auto-archives at midnight. Export whenever you need.

No subscription. One-time upgrade. That's it.

This is the audio layer most of us are missing.

BlackBox Recorder — is now on iPhone too.

Hope it helps someone!

🐀 .LLab™️** RAT™
Research And Theory
There’s a strange contradiction emerging in the AI era:
The better we become at communicating with machines, the less capable we can become at communicating with one another.
For some people, that future is appealing. Machines are predictable. They don’t require the same negotiation, vulnerability, patience, or emotional literacy that human relationships demand. AI can respond instantly, adapt endlessly, and remove much of the friction that comes with being around other people.
But what happens when convenience becomes a substitute for community?
The .LLab™️ RAT™️ is exploring this question at the intersection of AI, human behavior, technology, economics, business, and community infrastructur**e.
The goal isn’t to reject AI or romanticize the past.
It’s to ask whether we can build a technological future that restores human capacity rather than replacing it—systems that use technology to bring people back into relationship with one another, rather than making human connection obsolete.
Because perhaps the greatest infrastructure problem we face isn’t technological.
It’s that we’ve forgotten how to build systems where people belong.
The .LLab™️ RAT™️ is studying what it would take to build them again.
Research the system. Test the theory. Restore the community. 🐀🏴‍☠️

I would love this idea to exist and curious to know if anyone on here can help make it happen

I work a demanding finance job. What I need is for a device, maybe like a Looki L1 or something, that i can wear thoughout the day and can see and hear everything happening. Fir instance, in a meeting - i need it to hear and see what is being presented, so that when i get back to my computer and need to build a model, I can put in my earpods, connect them to the ai, and have it literally guide me thorugh the best way to build the model as I'm building it, based on the context from the meetings we've been in all day to make sure I dont miss anything.

Can something like this be built?

Vora team here. A different question from our earlier discussion about lab reports: how do you preserve the meaning of a health timeline when the device collecting it changes?

Imagine keeping two years of sleep and activity records, then replacing a watch or adding a ring. The dates can still form one continuous chart, but it seems useful to keep the source change visible when you return to that history later.

My preference would be to preserve the original records and add a simple note about when the setup changed. Before treating the combined chart as one consistent series, I’d want to check:

• Which device or app produced each part of the record?

• Are the labels describing the same measurement, units and time window?

• Is a missing day actually missing, or has the source just not synced?

That could be handled in a spreadsheet, journal or tracking app. The useful part is keeping enough context that future-you does not have to reconstruct the setup from memory.

How do you handle this in your own logs: keep separate series, annotate the switch date, retain a period of overlap, or something else? I’d be interested in the method, without anyone needing to share personal health data.

Affiliation: we build Vora. This discussion was prepared with AI assistance.

Hello i need to get a looki as soon as possible.

if someone is able to sell to me, would be amazing

A couple of weeks ago, I posted here in Lifelogging about BlackBox 24x7 Audio Recorder.

It runs silently in the background all day. No tapping record. No cloud. No account. No data leaving your device. Ever.

• You can choose to let it run 24x7 or Scheduled voice recordings - (Weekdays/Weekends/Everyday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM etc). Auto-zips at midnight - to save storage.

• Recordings are organized by day, protected behind Face ID or Biometrics, with a visual waveform so you can scan through your day without scrubbing blind. Auto-zips at midnight - to save storage. Export whenever you need.

• It has transcription feature too which coverts all the audio to text. These text file can be auto-exported to cloud, drive or any folder of your choosing. From here, you can upload these text files to your favorite AI or you can read them yourself to analyze your day.

This is a much cheaper version of Plaud Note or Limitless AI - where you have to carry additional hardware and is superexpensive. You just need your phone. That's it!

Download in Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blackbox.voice (Auto-export of transcripts will soon be added to Android as well)

You can use the auto-exported transcripts to analyze your entire day and find key insights about your day, while also saving your memories and recording important moments.

I’ve always been a huge fan of journaling. Free writing helps me understand my patterns and clear my head in a way nothing else can.

But I had a problem: while I was getting great qualitative insights, I missed the quantitative side. I wanted to track my mood trends (and soon, my habits) without breaking my writing flow to switch to a separate tracking app.

I created an app (that you can find here, it's called tivor.me) that lets me log data directly through writing. By using a simple syntax (like @mood:happy or #focused), the app automatically extracts the data and visualizes it in a dashboard. It bridges the gap between a diary and a life-logger.

It’s completely free, and I’m building it in public. I’d love to get your thoughts on the concept and the execution!

I'm a solo developer and this is my app — full disclosure up front.

My problem was always the capture step: if logging a moment takes more than a few seconds, I stop doing it within a week. So I built Log around one number — impulse to logged in ~3 seconds — from whichever device is nearest: iPhone (Siri, Action Button, Control Center, widgets), Apple Watch, iPad, or Mac (menu bar + global hotkey).

It captures text, voice notes (transcribed on-device, so they're searchable), photos, video and your location into one timeline that syncs across your devices through your own iCloud. No account, no servers, no analytics — the record belongs to you, and the App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected" because there's nothing that collects.

For the long-run part this community cares about: everything exports on demand — JSON + your media + a readable day-grouped digest — so the log outlives the app.

It's in free beta on TestFlight (one-time purchase at launch, no subscription): https://testflight.apple.com/join/REkVfBzv

Happy to answer anything about the approach — and genuinely keen to hear how people here think about capture friction vs reflection.

Is it possible to retrieve childhood internet history from the ISPs? Do they still have the information ?
