root workspace

Private-by-default workspace for working text, with optional sync through your own Google Drive using Root Connect.

Root workspace gives working text a place to land before it gets lost. Use Quick Capture from any page to save text, the current page, or a follow-up task to Inbox. Use root in Chrome to: - Capture text, links, current pages, and tasks from the page you are viewing - Work through a structured, date-stamped Inbox with quick copy and individual delete - See unfinished checkbox lines together in Open Tasks - Write, edit, pin, archive, and search notes - Save reusable Snippets - Keep meeting notes and iPhone-captured meeting transcripts together - Prepare focused Context Handoffs when work needs to move into an AI chat, document, email, or conversation - Import and export Markdown and text files - Recover work through Archive, Trash, version history, and library export - Sync your library between Chrome and iPhone through your own Google Drive with Root Connect Root is local-first and private by default. No Root account is required for local use. Root Connect is optional and asks for Google Drive access only when you choose to connect it. Your notes remain usable without Root Connect. Root is also available on iPhone. It is the same core workspace in a smaller, capture-first app, with Voice Note and Meeting Transcripts for moments away from your desk. Use Root Connect to sync devices with your Google Drive, then keep shaping that working text in Chrome. Root does not operate a hosted notes or sync service. With Root Connect, Chrome and iPhone sync through your own Google Drive. Sync remains visible and user-controlled; Root does not promise real-time or always-on sync. Root is not a project manager or a giant document system. It is a calm place for the working text between a fleeting thought and finished work.
