Private work memory

Your private memory
for work.

You forget. Notivo doesn’t.

Privately capture what happens at work, by person and by topic, and get it back when it matters: 1:1s, reviews, promotions, the moments that decide them. Don’t manage people from memory. And don’t forget your own year, either.

Take the note now. Understand the story later.

The note can start anywhere. The memory stays in one place.

The problem

You’ll remember the loud week.
You’ll forget the quiet quarter.

The moments that matter happen in passing, every Tuesday. By review season they live in old chats, half-remembered. And the people who don’t announce their wins are the ones who pay for it.

One private Notivo memory
One product, many people

Private work memory,
whatever your role.

One simple habit: privately capture what matters, organized by person and topic, ready when you need it. Chat tools remember conversations. Notivo remembers people.

Managers
Remember your team fairly.

Observations, feedback and evidence for 1:1s, reviews and promotions.

Employees & ICs
Remember your own year.

Your wins, the feedback you got, the promises made to you. The brag document you can never reconstruct at review time.

Founders
Remember decisions and promises.

Who said and owed what; context on people, hires and investors.

Freelancers & consultants
Remember clients and agreements.

Per-client requests, scope, boundaries and the history of the relationship.

See it work

From one note
to a clear answer.

Watch one note become a year you can actually remember.

01 · Capture

Start with one note.

The simplest management habit: capture what happened while it’s still fresh. Write naturally: @people when someone’s involved, #tags when there’s context.

Every note becomes context.

Notivo quietly files each note by person, topic, tag, task and date. What starts as one line becomes memory you can actually use.

One note is just a moment. Ten notes become a pattern. A year of notes becomes a clearer, fairer picture of someone’s work.

AI works better when
it has real memory.

Notivo doesn’t start with generic AI output. It starts with your real observations. Write the notes, and the assistant prepares you from what you saw, not from thin air.

Notivo doesn’t replace your judgment. It gives your judgment a memory.

Only you
Your private memory
your team, in your words
06 · Privacy

Private by default.
Built for trust.

Notivo is a private workspace for managers to think clearly, remember fairly and lead responsibly. It captures your observations, not employee activity. Sharing, if it ever arrives, is explicit and scoped.

Yours alone. Every note is private to you unless you deliberately share it.
Not surveillance. A manager’s notebook, not a tracker of what people do.
Explicit sharing. Controlled and scoped, never an open feed.
How we think about trust
07 · Black Box

A private vault inside
your private memory.

Some notes are only ever for you: a promotion promise, a hard conversation, confidential feedback, the things you’d only write down if you knew no one else could ever read them. Mark a note with @bb or #bb and the whole note goes into your Black Box.

End-to-end encrypted. Sealed on your device before it is ever stored.
Not even Notivo can read your Black Box. Only your Black Box key can unlock it.
Never touched by AI. Kept out of your timeline, search, exports and AI until you unlock it.
No recovery, by design. If you lose your Black Box key, Notivo cannot recover your notes. They will be permanently inaccessible.
