Long-term memory
Tell Crodo something once - who someone is, how a project works, a preference - and it is saved. The facts that define your work are included in every conversation; the rest are looked up when a question is close to them.
Memory, tasks & projects
An Assistant That Actually Remembers
Say it once. Crodo keeps the facts that matter, captures tasks as you mention them, and groups everything by project - so the next conversation starts with the context already there.

Saved as you talk

Add a task to fix the login bug on the XYZ site - Priya owns that one.

Priya owns the login area on the XYZ site
What it keeps
Four things, captured by talking.
You never fill in a form. Everything here is created by saying it out loud in the middle of doing something else - which is the only way capture ever actually happens.
Tasks
Say “add a task to fix the login bug on the XYZ site” and it lands on your list under that project. Tick it off in the app or by voice.
Projects
Name a project once and later mentions attach to it, including shortened forms - “the XYZ site” and “XYZ” resolve to the same place.
Reminders
“Remind me at five to send the invoice” is captured with the right time worked out from your Mac's clock, and waits in your Reminders list. It does not pop up - see the honest note below.
How the memory works
Matched by meaning, not keywords.
You can ask about something in completely different words from the ones you used when you said it.
01
It decides what is worth keeping
You do not tag anything. When you say something durable about a project, a person, or how you like to work, the assistant saves it - and skips the throwaway parts of a conversation.
02
Core facts are always present
Facts marked as defining - your active projects, your key preferences - travel with every single question, so they never need looking up.
03
The rest is found by meaning
Everything else is matched by meaning rather than keywords, so asking about “the design reviews” can surface a fact you phrased completely differently. Crodo pulls the closest handful into the conversation.
What you can say
Mid-sentence, mid-task.
“Remember that Priya runs design reviews on Tuesdays.”
Saved as a durable fact you can ask about weeks later.
“Add a task to write the release notes for Crodo.”
Captured and filed under the project you named.
“What's open on the XYZ site?”
Reads back your live task list for that project.
“What do you know about Priya?”
Searches your saved facts and answers from them.
What this does not do
Read this before you rely on it.
Three limits that matter more than any feature on this page.
Reminders do not pop up
A reminder is captured with the right time and waits in your Reminders list - but nothing notifies you when it comes due. You see it when you open the tab or ask what is coming up. If you need to be interrupted, use Apple Reminders or a calendar alert for now. We are not going to describe this as an alert when it is not one.
Voice in, no editing after
Tasks, reminders, memories, and projects are created by speaking - there is no add button. You can complete and delete them in the app, but not rename a task, change a due date, or correct a saved fact. To fix something, delete it and say it again.
Recall is the nearest few, not perfect search
Crodo pulls in the handful of saved facts closest in meaning to your question. That works well for anything you have discussed recently or repeatedly, and less well for one very specific detail buried among hundreds - ask for that one directly and it will look it up.
Questions
The things people ask first.
Do reminders actually alert me?
Not today, and we would rather say so plainly. A reminder is captured with the correct time worked out from your Mac's clock, and it appears in your Reminders list - but nothing pops up, and there is no notification or sound when the time arrives. You see it when you open the Reminders tab or ask what is coming up. If you need something that interrupts you, use Apple Reminders or a calendar alert for now.
How does the memory actually work?
Facts you tell it are stored and matched by meaning rather than keywords. The facts marked as defining are included in every conversation automatically; for the rest, Crodo pulls in the closest few whenever a question is related. It is closer to “the nearest handful of relevant facts” than to a perfect search, so a very specific old detail may need you to ask for it directly.
Can I add or edit tasks by hand?
You can complete and delete tasks in the app, but creation is by voice only - there is no add button, and no editing of a task's title, due date, or project after it is created. The same is true of memories and reminders: view and delete, but not edit. If a saved fact is wrong, delete it and say the correct version.
Can I see what Crodo has remembered?
Yes. The Crodo window has tabs for memories, tasks, reminders, and projects, so you can read everything it has saved about you and delete anything you would rather it forgot.
How does it decide which project something belongs to?
By the name you say, including shortened forms and aliases it has learned. It matches loosely on purpose, so “the XYZ site” finds the XYZ project - but that also means two projects with similar names can occasionally get confused. Distinct names keep it reliable.
Does it remember things when I ask about my screen?
No - screen questions are answered from the screenshot and the current conversation only, without your long-term memory. Voice questions get the full memory.
Is my memory shared with anyone?
No. Memories, tasks, reminders, and projects are scoped to your account. You can delete any of them from the app at any time.
Do I have to set any of this up?
No. There is nothing to configure - it accumulates as you use Crodo normally, and stays empty until you say something worth keeping.
