remio 2.0 - Captures your work to build a searchable knowledge base

remio 2.0 is designed to free you from being a manual data porter for AI. By syncing your full context, it builds a zero-effort Second Brain that understands your work as well as you do.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Andrew. After 10+ years at NetEase and being a long-time power user of knowledge systems, I’ve built remio to finally alleviate those second brain headaches we all face.

The reality? As knowledge workers, we are stuck copy-pasting context just to get a decent answer. We spend more time digging through scattered Slack threads, Google Docs, and local files than actually doing the work.

So we built a Second Brain to end those headaches for you:

1. Connect once: It automatically indexes your full context—web history, local files, Slack messages, emails, meetings and more.

2. Maintenance-free: Forget manual tagging or organizing. Just ask remio to do the dirty work: find anything in seconds, generate your daily recap, or recall details you’ve forgotten.

3. Local-first by design: No more vendor-lockin and cloud leaks. All the data stored locally on your device, also enjoy the 100% data security with BYOK.

Stop organizing, start chatting. Get tailored answers with your second brain today!

@andrew_wy very cool Andrew. can you share which slm (my assumption) you're using? how do you handle semantic chunking time & cost?

Andrew Wang

@zolani_matebese  We have tens of slms e.g. document layout analyzing, embedding, rerank, asr run localling, optimized to NPU of AI PC.

@andrew_wy I’m SO tired of jumping between a million different tools just to get the context I need. If remio really does what it says, I’m sold :D

Andrew Wang

@abod_rehman Totally hear you — context switching is the worst. That’s exactly why we built remio.Our goal is: one place for your context and your typical works, without juggling tabs.

When information starts to pile up, what I appreciate about remio is that it doesn’t try to be louder or more complex.

A lot of knowledge tools respond to overload by adding more structure, more automation, more “smart” features. remio feels like it’s making a quieter choice — helping information stay usable instead of just better organized. From a user perspective, that difference really matters.

As a first impression, it feels less like a productivity hack and more like a system designed to reduce mental clutter, which is refreshing in this category.

Andrew Wang

@rexlian Really appreciate this. remio is intentionally designed to reduce mental clutter instead of adding more structure for you to maintain. If there’s one moment where most tools start to feel “too much” for you, tell me what that looks like

I love that the transcription and indexing happen locally without sending audio to the cloud. It’s the only way I'd ever record a confidential meeting.

@zephyrlink_i Thank you for recognizing this design choice; we are committed to keeping privacy and security as our top priorities.

Just upvoted! 🚀 Huge congrats to Andrew @andrew_wy and the remio team on the 2.0 launch. As someone drowning in siloed tabs/files/Slack threads, the “zero-effort Second Brain” vision hits home! Love how it auto-indexes everything locally — no more cloud paranoia 😅. The “find anything in seconds” promise? Game-changer for weekly recaps!

One tiny ask: could future versions add a “priority context” toggle? Sometimes I want remio to focus only on recent project files vs. all-history. Might help keep answers extra sharp! Either way, stoked to try this.

Question for the team: do you plan to integrate with niche tools like Tate-A-Tate platform soon? 👀

Shake Lyu

@andrew_wy  @rocsheh Been there before! That's why be build remio🤣

Andrew Wang

@rocsheh Re: Tate-A-Tate integration: not on day-one, but we’re open to it. What’s the most valuable workflow there you’d want remio to support (search across, auto-capture, or weekly recap generation)?

Yehan Xiao

Locally processed transcription is perfect for my confidential client meetings. I get the notes I need without leaking any secrets to the cloud.

Andrew Wang

@yehan_xiao Appreciate this — local transcription is about privacy + cost: your meeting audio stays on-device, and you avoid recurring cloud transcription/usage fees while still getting searchable notes.

Amber Wang

Interesting concept! @andrew_wy Congrats on the launch, this looks like a thoughtful take on personal knowledge management, especially with the local-first approach, which seems great for privacy and performance.

I was wondering about how you balance local privacy guarantees vs. cloud/AI functionality. For example:

  • I see that notes, highlights, and collections stay on the device unless the user chooses to sync — that’s a strong privacy posture. But in practice, do users worry about how “Ask remio” interactions are routed when they involve cloud models (e.g., whether those temporary logs might expose sensitive context)?

  • Also, for users who want bring-your-own-key (BYOK) setups, how does that affect privacy vs. usability trade-offs?

Curious to hear how you balance user expectations of privacy, local processing, and AI capabilities in real usage patterns!

Shake Lyu

@andrew_wy  @amberjolie Context is processed in the cloud, but remio runs through OpenRouter, which can’t access your queries. You can use your own API key with your chosen provider for full privacy.

Gabe Perez

Congrats @andrew_wy! How has Remio changed since it's first launch?

Andrew Wang

@gabe Thank you for your interest — remio has changed a lot since our last launch: Windows support, local file sync, unlimited free recording + transcription, search, email and chat (Slack) syncing, upgraded knowledge base and Q&A, plus BYOK and custom Base URL support. Tons of features.

JoJo

Thank you @andrew_wy

I tend to pay close attention to any second-brain product.

I’ll give Remio a try and see if it can help with my scattered notes and the friction around retrieving and actually using them.

Sandy Liu

I'm impressed by how fast the initial indexing process is, even for large folders. The remio engine is clearly optimized for performance.

Oratis

I think what we need more is an assistant who can remember and do anything in work

Shake Lyu

@oratis Yes,sir!
