For freelancers and creatives
The AI that tells you the truth about your own life.
Write about your work the way you already do — clients, projects, doubts. skia reads it back to you honestly: the loop you keep repeating, the two things you believe that can’t both be true, and one next move for today.

What it does with what you write
Real screens from the app, not mock-ups.
It reads what you write.
Notes, voice memos, a pasted chat — about clients, projects and the week. No system to learn first.
It shows you the lines it saw it in.
Every claim comes with your own words under it, dated, so you can check it — and say when it is wrong.
It ends on one move for today.
Not a feed and not a summary: one small thing you can do before tonight.
skia in one minute
Real screens from a demo account. No sound; captions in five languages.
What you can hold it to
Each of these is in the app today.
Two lines that pull against each other
Two of your own claims side by side. Keep one, keep the other, or say both are true — and reopen it later.
A question a month in
On day 28 it asks whether your life got better. “Worse” is an answer, and only the answer is counted, never your words.
A memory you can read and correct
What it has noted about you is a list you can read, confirm, or tell it to forget.
Told never to flatter
The chat is instructed never to flatter, to name the note it disagrees with, to say how sure it is, and to end on one move.
What you use today, and where skia fits
Three things you may already use, and how skia relates to each. It replaces none of them.
| You use | skia |
|---|---|
| Your notes app | It keeps what you write. skia reads it back to you. Import your notes and compare. |
| A general AI chat | It answers. skia shows you your own lines. |
| A journal | It keeps. skia reads it back. |
Where your words live
- Your notes and everything the app knows live in our database (SpacetimeDB). It is the one store of record. There is no second vendor holding your data, and no Redis or key-value store.
- Your device keeps a copy so the app opens fast and offline. Deleting that copy costs nothing; it re-syncs. Search, the AI and media need the network.
- When you use an AI feature, the text it needs goes to Google’s Gemini to produce the answer and the search index. We do not train models on your notes. Voice, calendar, web search and the code sandbox reach their providers only when you turn them on.
- You can export everything and delete everything. Deletion erases every table, except Stripe’s legal payment records and anonymous aggregate counts.
- Analytics are first-party counts of feature names, never note content. Query strings and share tokens are stripped.

From one human to another
Why skia exists
Lines from the founder’s notes
- “Contradiction is the signal of a falsehood or an incomplete perspective.”
- “When you are forced to write your ideas down, these shortcuts become apparent as holes in the narrative.”
- “Past-you stops being a stranger.”
I kept losing my own mind. The idea from last Tuesday. The article that finally explained it. The note I wrote at 3am and never saw again. Every tool I tried asked me to organize harder — I wanted one that organized with me.
So I built skia: a place that reads what you write back to you honestly, and an AI that knows your world well enough to hand an idea back at the exact moment it matters. Never to think for you. Always to think with you.
It’s made with care by people who live inside it every day. If that resonates, start writing with us — or help us build skia itself.
With a calmer mind,
Zen
Founder, skia
Questions, answered
What is skia?
skia is an honest mirror for your own work. You keep notes, files, voice memos and chats in one place; skia links them into a live graph, and its AI answers from what you wrote — including what you’d rather not see: the loop you keep repeating, and beliefs that contradict each other. It runs in the browser and installs on your phone like an app.
Who is it for?
Freelancers and creatives first — designers, writers, makers and anyone who works for themselves and wants an AI that tells them the truth about their work instead of agreeing with them.
How much does it cost?
Three monthly plans in US dollars: Explorer $4, Thinker $20 and Architect $69. Payments go through Stripe, and you can cancel any time.
Will my notes be used to train an AI model?
No. skia does not train AI models on your notes, and does not sell or hand them to anyone for training. When you use an AI feature, the text it needs is sent to Google’s Gemini model to produce the answer — our privacy policy names that and every other service that touches your data. Switch AI features off in Settings and nothing is sent to a model.
Who can see my notes?
You. Where it lives: your vault is stored in our cloud database; your device keeps a cache that rebuilds from it; and you can export everything at any time. Every table that holds your notes is private to your account. A short list of services process data so features work — the privacy policy names each one and exactly what it receives. Nothing is used for advertising.
Can I export or delete everything?
Yes. Settings → Advanced → Your data downloads one file with the full text of every note, its links, your maps, memory and settings. Deleting your account is immediate and irreversible; only Stripe’s own payment records remain, as the law requires.
How do I get in?
Registration is open — create an account and start today.
Does it work with the tools I already use?
Yes. skia has an MCP server, a REST API and webhooks, so assistants like Claude or ChatGPT and your own scripts can search and write your notes with a key you control. You can also import a folder of Markdown notes.
