Liminary

Freemium

Liminary is a knowledge management tool built for people who lose track of what they saved. It sits in the productivity space. You feed it web pages, PDFs, videos, even LLM chats. Then it watches you work and pushes old material forward when you need it.

You do not search. It surfaces. The browser extension grabs content in one click. Your notes and highlights stay attached. A "Magnet" feature pulls context into meetings as the conversation moves. It also plugs into Gmail and Notion to check facts against what you already stored.

Open it if you research across months and lose track of sources. Skip it if you need a simple note-taker or a finished writing assistant.

It fits when your work sprawls across many inputs and long timelines.

• Knowledge workers managing scattered information: You stop digging through folders. The tool brings old saves back without you asking.
• Consultants building narratives from multiple sources: You connect client docs, past calls, and industry notes. You bill for the synthesis, not the search.
• Researchers and analysts needing to connect disparate data points: You spot links between a six-month-old PDF and today's news. The graph shows the thread.
• Venture capital investors tracking information overload: You track deals, memos, and founder updates across quarters. Nothing gets buried.
• Fractional executives managing multiple client engagements: You switch contexts fast. Prior client context pops up when you need it.
• Journalists managing interview transcripts and documents: You keep sources straight. Quotes link back to the original recording or file.
• Students and academics building connected knowledge bases: You build a web of readings that talk to each other. Semester-old notes resurface for new papers.
• Teams concerned with data privacy and intellectual property: You own your data. No outside model training. Monthly audits and TLS 1.2/1.3 are built in.

These are what you notice after a week of heavy use.

• Proactive surfacing: You do not hunt. The tool watches your cursor and your calendar, then pushes what fits. You stay in flow.
• Self-enriching meeting notes: You transcribe a call. "Project Atlas" becomes "Project Atlas with Alice and Bob, last reviewed May 12 [source]." You skip the manual link.
• Source citations for every answer: You trust the recall because you can check it. Every insight points back to where it came from.
• Multi-format capture: You save articles, PDFs, videos, audio, LLM chats, and your own notes. One place holds it all.
• Privacy-first by design: You do not trade your client data for convenience. Encryption, silos, and audit trails are standard.

It is not for everyone. Skip it when these limits matter.

• You need proven accuracy metrics: No independent tests verify the recall quality. You rely on self-reported benchmarks.
• You want stable pricing: The open beta is free. Post-beta cost is not published. You may face sticker shock later.
• You need a simple tool today: Beta status means rough edges and shifting features. You trade polish for potential.
• You want AI to write for you: Liminary surfaces and connects. It does not draft your final copy. You still do the writing.
