AI‑native OS that preserves attention
AI‑native OS for your work and ideas. Understand clearly, decide with evidence, and keep long projects coherent—local‑first and private‑by‑default.
What you’re signing up for
Two simple contracts: how we surface information, and who the knowledge belongs to.
Attention & Inference Contract
No infinite feed. Views stay bounded, and you can always pause with Done‑for‑now instead of being pulled into a stream.
Every surfaced item should be able to show you “Why this” and its posture, so you can see how it was picked.
Commons & ownership contract
Most of what you build stays yours. Commons units accrue to people who contribute, not just to the platform.
In the long run, the substrate is meant to belong to the people who build it, not only the company.
Why now
Less churn, more clarity—for students, founders, and researchers. Local‑first and private‑by‑default.
Helpful suggestions
Get simple next steps when you’re trying to understand a topic, make a decision with evidence, or keep a long project coherent. No infinite feed; every suggestion should be able to show why it’s there. You stay in control—always accept or edit.
Views you need today
Open Today, Vote, Projects, or People to see what matters for your semester, your team, or your lab. Bounded surfaces, not a scrolling feed.
Fractal map of ideas
See how your notes connect across courses, companies, and questions so you can understand a topic clearly without getting lost.
Private by default
Local‑first processing. Optional assist and backups are opt‑in. Some things will be a bit less “magical” than cloud‑only tools, but you keep control and no one tracks what you study or build.
Save real time
Reduce busywork for reading, planning, and research. We’ll measure minutes saved (opt‑in) and publish honest ranges instead of vanity charts.
For learners and builders
Built for students, founders, and researchers. Inclusive plans at launch.
Workflows that fit the job
Open Today, Vote, Projects, or People to see what matters now when you need to understand, decide, or keep a project coherent. Whether you're running a semester, a sprint, or a study, you always accept or edit.
Keyboard‑first, calm visuals, no noisy feed.
Your ideas, connected
A consistent way to store lecture notes, product docs, and research findings. Navigate from big picture to detail without getting lost.
Capture once. Reuse everywhere. You can always see where an idea came from and how it’s connected, and find it with context—not just keywords.
A calm guide, not a chat bot
Syx is an always‑on guide, not a chat log. Private‑by‑default and local‑first; cloud assist is explicit and opt‑in.
Ask it to summarize a chapter, outline a roadmap, or suggest next experiments. Suggestions stay simple and reversible; you decide what to keep. No silent edits; Syx proposes, you decide. It helps you think; it does not take over.
How it works
Views on a verifiable substrate of ions and connections, with optional assistance. Local‑first by default. Each surface is meant to show a short “Why this” so you can see how items were chosen.
Views
Open a bounded surface that shows what matters now for the job at hand—no infinite feed, no new jargon to learn.
Ions
A consistent way to store, relate, and find your notes, with provenance. Move from big picture to detail without losing context.
Syx
Optional help when you want it. Local‑first by default; cloud assist is explicit and opt‑in. Suggestions stay simple and reversible.
Privacy posture
Private‑by‑default. Explicit, redacted cloud assist only when you choose.
Local‑first processing
Your content (ions, notes, relations) is processed on‑device and stored locally by default.
Cloud assist (opt‑in)
Turn on assist only if you want it. We redact sensitive bits and clean responses before they hit your notes.
Encrypted backups
Optional client‑side encryption. Keys are not stored with the data.
Telemetry (opt‑in)
Minimal, privacy‑preserving metrics (e.g., minutes saved). No content collection.
FAQ
Is this an OS replacement?
No. It’s an OS‑level app with bounded surfaces that sits alongside your existing tools—note apps, IDEs, and lab stack.
Do I need the cloud?
No. Local‑first works offline for lectures, sprints, and reading days. Cloud adds sync, collaboration, and optional assistance.
How do you ensure attribution?
Ions and links keep their sources and authors—papers, repos, or lectures. Changes flow through proposals and merges, not silent overwrites.
Does it run offline?
Yes. Capture → persist → search is fully offline in M1—for classrooms, co‑working spaces, or labs. Assistance is optional.
What tradeoffs come with local‑first?
Some assists may be a bit slower or less glossy than cloud‑only tools. In return, more of your data and inference stays on your device, under your control.
What won’t you do?
No infinite feed or dark patterns for engagement. No content‑telemetry. No non‑explainable ranking modes. If we ever change this, it should be clearly documented.
About Syxon
Tools should help you think, not take over. Syxon is a local‑first OS that reduces churn, keeps your work private, and helps you understand clearly and decide with evidence.
We focus on three jobs: clear structure for your notes (Ions), Views that surface what matters now, and optional help (Syx) when you ask for it.
No hype. No dark patterns. Just honest software that respects your time and attention, built for skeptical, intelligent users who care about provenance. Early users are co‑authors, not beta testers—their work and votes show up in real decisions.
Be first to try Syxon.
Short launch notes that show real progress, not hype. Local‑first, private‑by‑default.
- Launch notes (1–2 emails per month).
- Early access invites.
- Occasional research calls, if you opt in.
We’ll share real numbers like time‑to‑first‑useful‑output and minutes saved, once they’re measured.
