map.name
You throw anything in. map.name catches it and hands it back understood. Rewind turns what gathered into something worth reading.
Saving is the only thing you ever have to do. There are no folders to create, no tags to maintain, no filing. Everything arrives private by default, and you can save from wherever you already are.
.html), Readwise, Raindrop, Pocket or Kindle exports, or any list of links. Or drop a whole Google Takeout .zip in one go: your Google Maps saved places land as real pins on your map, and your Chrome bookmarks and YouTube likes become searchable saves, and passive history is skipped. A first import ends with a Rewind called “A first look at what you brought in.”Seconds later map.name tells you what it understood: where the capture was filed, the words it will remember it by, and which of your drafts is growing because of it. If it filed something wrong, correcting it takes two taps, and the correction teaches your collection rather than a global machine. It asks “did I get this right?” instead of announcing a verdict.
The quiet idea behind map.name: while you capture, your future self is already writing. Every save is a line you will not have to write from a blank page later.
Captures that belong together gather into a draft. When a draft has enough to say, map.name writes it up on its own, and you do not have to ask: your captures arranged into sections, an editor's introduction, and your own notes quoted exactly as you wrote them. Notes are never rewritten.
So the thing you do here is read. Your own life, handed back to you by something that was not there for it. If a Rewind is right, leave it. If it is not, cut what does not belong, pull in more from your collection, ask for it again, and write your own opening and closing lines if you want the page to carry your voice.
Every Rewind is private until you say otherwise. Making one public is one choice, and you can take it back. Pages published without your own words say plainly that your editor drafted them; add your opening, a line in the middle and a closing and the page is signed by you. We never say a person wrote what the machine wrote.
Your collection is not a filing cabinet. It is alive, and we think of it as a garden.
The Mac shortcut and the browser extension can also rephrase selected text. They can summarize it, reply to it, or rewrite it in a tone. Rephrasing climbs a ladder, always in your favor.
Understanding your captures and writing Rewinds always runs on map.name's own models, on the server. That consistency is what makes filing trustworthy and Rewinds readable, and its cost is why heavy use eventually sits behind the paid tier. There are no ads.
Every capture is private unless you say otherwise. Publishing is a deliberate act, not a switch. You approve the exact blocks that go public, and nothing derived from your private material goes with them. Published pages live at your address, map.name/you, and they read without an account. They are never silently edited afterwards, and you can withdraw a block or a whole Rewind at any time.
When you publish, the Rewind gets a short address of its own, something like map.name/you.4kf3, and a small QR code on the page that points to it. Read it aloud, print it on a card, or let someone scan it; it lands on the same page as the full link. The short address never changes and never gets reused, so a card you handed out last year still works.
Your address, map.name/you, is where everything you publish lives, so Alchemists can make it look like theirs. Pick an accent colour that carries across the whole page, add an alchemical mark beside your handle, write a short bio, and reorder your sections so visitors land where you want them to. Your profile photo can come straight from one of your own captures. Everything previews live, and your colour and mark carry into the app too. Open the plan button beside Downloads and choose Customize my page.
Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and anything else that speaks MCP can connect to https://prod.mapna.me/mcp and read your public context: public captures, collections, semantic search over them, and published Rewinds. That is exactly what a person browsing your public page sees, and nothing more. Private captures, notes and drafts are never served to any assistant. Setup lives on the downloads page.
Your captures, your notes (kept word for word), and your Rewinds export to JSON in one click, with no questions and no fee. Your stuff is yours to take. We would rather earn the subscription than lock the door.
