What it does
WhyMark as a second brain for links
Your second brain shouldn't be a link dump. WhyMark stores every save with the thought that made you save it — the association future-you will actually search for.
Associations, not addresses
Memory works by association. Your note is the association — indexed and searchable, attached to the source forever.
Lightweight by design
No graph views, no backlinks to maintain. Paste, note, tag — three motions and the thought is captured.
Quiet by design
No ads, no data sale, no feed. Your external memory shouldn't monetize you.
An example save, from capture to recall
- 1. Paste a source URL and add a note: “A useful method for the next weekly review”.
- 2. Keep it in your “Personal reference” collection; add a tag if it spans projects.
- 3. Later, search “weekly review” to match the words in your note.

How it fits a PKM setup
Let notes live in your notes app and links live in WhyMark — each save's note points back at the idea, not the other way around.
Search WhyMark by concept when writing; the sources surface with their reasons intact.
Questions
Does it replace my notes app?
No — it replaces the bookmark folder. Notes stay where they are; WhyMark holds the links with their reasons.
Can I export my data?
Not yet — self-serve export is on the roadmap before we'd ever ask you to pay.
