What you are in the middle of
has never had a home.

The decision you keep turning over. The research you're halfway into. The thing you promised you'd come back to. A handful of them at a time, on one quiet desk.

A THREAD IS ANYTHING LIVE IN YOUR HEAD
which vacuum cleaner to buy· whether to take the contract· the renovation· a repo you meant to read· the talk you agreed to give· should we move·
loose thoughts after a good conversation· the essay you keep restarting· the visa paperwork· a half-formed idea worth a week· learning to sail· the bathroom leak·
Something you’re working through, not just checking off. Starting one costs nothing but a name.

01 · THE HELPER

Still true after a week of not looking.

Most personal systems become harder to trust when you stop tending them. Galene notices what went still while you were away, and says so only when you come back to look. A week away leaves one Sweep, not a backlog. Open a cold thread, and where you left off is simply there.

momentum comes from the work itself — edits, captures, links.
“Untouched for 19 days — your usual gap is about 6 days.”

02 · THE TEMPERAMENT

It never taps you on the shoulder.

No notifications, no badges, no counters. Galene brings things up in two moments only: inside something you started, or in the Sweep when you open it. Nothing has to be caught in time — whenever you look is soon enough.

ONE
Inside something you just did
You open a cold thread; the way back in is already there.
TWO
The sweep
Everything noticed since last time, together, resolved in one confirmation.
Everywhere else, silence.

03 · THE ENGINE

Your assistants don’t share a memory.

Each sees a different slice of your work. Connected to Galene, they can work from the same durable picture of what’s active — and none can permanently erase it.

WHAT AN ASSISTANT MAY DO
They read far more than they write.
They may propose; only you decide.
Nothing they touch is permanently gone.
04 · WHERE IT SITS

A system of right now, not a system of record.

Your notes app keeps the material meant to last. Galene holds what is live and lets it go when it's done. Galene fills the space between tasks and notes.

QUESTIONS
Why isn't my assistant's memory enough?
An assistant's memory lives inside one product, and the picture ends at that product's walls. Galene keeps the picture outside any single assistant: one record of your active work that every AI you connect can read — and that stays yours the day you switch.
How is this different from a task manager?
Task managers are good at discrete actions. A thread holds something you’re still working through — notes, links, open questions, and decisions — over days or weeks. Galene holds the thread; your task manager can keep the next steps.
What if I'm juggling more than four things?
The desk cap is yours to set, and it's soft. Go past it and everything still works — Galene just shows the weight instead of hiding it. Everything else waits in the stack: unlimited, unsorted by design, never touched without your say.
What happens if I disappear for a month?
Galene doesn’t turn time away into an overdue list. When you return, one Sweep gathers the findings for a single review. Open threads wait; they don't expire.
Where do threads go when they're done?
Completed and dropped threads move to Closed, where they stay restorable for thirty days. After that, they're deleted. Galene holds active work, not an archive: anything worth keeping permanently belongs in your notes app.
Which assistants can connect?
Any assistant that speaks MCP — Claude, ChatGPT, the one in your editor. One protocol, one memory: every assistant that connects reads the same threads and lives under the same rules.
Can a connected assistant delete my work?
Not permanently. An assistant can complete or drop a thread, and you can restore it during the 30-day window. It cannot permanently delete a thread or bypass that retention period.
Is it useful without AI?
Yes. All of it works with nothing connected — the desk, the sweep, the way back into a cold thread. Galene works on its own. Assistants simply make it available in more places.
What does it cost?
Pricing comes after early access. For now, the focus is whether Galene earns a lasting place in your work. One thing is already fixed: export is free, forever — your work is yours to take.
What happens to my writing if I leave?
It leaves with you. Everything exports as plain markdown files with your images beside them — complete, free, always available. The day you arrive, the day you leave, any day in between.

If this sounds familiar, Galene may be for you.

Galene is in early access and used every day by the people making it.
