Notes that live with the people they’re for

Glim is a shared notes app. Photos, checklists, files and reminders — kept in spaces you open to the people who actually need them. Encrypted before it leaves your phone.

A shared space in Glim with three members and its capsules

Real screens. Real app. Nothing staged.

The problem

It all ends up in a group chat. And then it’s gone.

01

The address is 300 messages up

Someone sent it three weeks ago. Good luck.

02

Your notes app is a lovely vault

Beautifully private. Impossible to share with the person standing next to you.

03

Half the plan lives in someone’s head

And they’re the one who forgot to book the thing.

Glim gives all of it one home — one other people can actually walk into.

How it works

One place for the thing, the people and the plan

Scroll to walk through it.

01

Write it like it matters

A capsule holds photos, checklists, tables, files, colors and tags — whatever the thing actually needs. Publish now or schedule it for later.

02

Drop it where your people are

Spaces are shared collections: the trip, the house, the book club. Invite people with roles, and group spaces into hyperspaces when life gets big.

03

Talk about it where it lives

Comment in threads and react with any emoji, right on the note. The conversation stays attached to the thing it’s about — not buried in a chat.

04

Nothing falls through

Reminders with recurrence that behaves like real life: every Tuesday, the 1st of the month, working days only. For you, or for everyone in the space.

05

Find it in a second

Search inside your notes, by tag, space, person or file — including the stuff you forgot you wrote. It works offline too.

Bring your own AI

Ask your AI about your own notes

Connect Glim to Claude or ChatGPT. Your assistant can read what you allow, write new capsules, check your calendar and pull the file you need — and every single thing it does is written into your activity log.

You choose what it seesConnect it to everything or to one space. Revoke any time.
Everything it does is loggedA plain-language activity log in Settings: what it read, wrote and changed.
No training on your dataYour notes are yours. They are never a dataset.

What do I still need to book for Japan?
GlimFrom Trip to Japan: teamLab tickets are done — Grace booked them. Still open: Ghibli Museum (needs reserving ahead) and the day trip to Hakone. Want me to add both as tasks for this week?
Yes, and tell Grace.

Privacy

Encrypted before it leaves your phone

Every capsule gets its own AES-256 key. That key is wrapped for each person you invite — and for nobody else, us included. If our servers were stolen tomorrow, the thief would get noise.

We couldn’t read your notes even if we wanted to.
End-to-end encryptionAES-256-GCM per item, RSA-wrapped keys per person.
Offline-firstEverything lives on your device and syncs when you’re back.
Face ID for blurred capsulesHide sensitive notes behind your face or fingerprint.
No ads. No tracking. No selling.There is no business model that needs your data.
Why not just use…

Questions

The things people ask first

Is Glim really free?
Yes. The free plan covers everything most people need — capsules, spaces, tasks, search, encryption and offline. No ads, and you don’t need a card to start.
How is this different from a notes app?
A notes app is built for one person. Glim is built for the note and the people around it: shared spaces with roles, comments and reactions on the note itself, and reminders you can set for someone else — with the same encryption you’d expect from a private notebook.
Can the Glim team read my notes?
No. Your content is encrypted on your device with a key we never hold. We store ciphertext. That also means we can’t recover content for you if you lose access — that’s the trade-off of real end-to-end encryption.
What does connecting my AI actually do?
You link Glim to Claude or ChatGPT as a connector. From then on you can ask your assistant about your notes, have it create or update capsules, check your calendar or fetch a file. You control what it can reach, and every action it takes appears in your activity log.
Does it work without internet?
Fully. Glim keeps everything on your device and syncs when you’re back online. Writing, searching and reading all work on a plane.
Can I use it just for myself?
Plenty of people do. My Hub is your private side — nothing there is shared until you decide to put it in a space.
Which platforms is Glim on?
iPhone and iPad, Android, and any modern browser at app.glim.space. It installs as an app on desktop too.

Your life fits in here.

Free to start, encrypted from the first word, and ready for the people you’ll add tomorrow.

No card. No ads. Takes about a minute.
