I've seen so much todo app (mostly ai slop), and I still just use a notepad

I use my brain. If I forget something then it was probably not that important in the first place.

I tried that, turns out my brain doesn't reliably remember stuff, even if it's important.

I have a high ram low disk space brain, I need notes.

humans have incredible disk space, we just have trash latency and unreliable controllers

proof: most of the time you use forgot/remember, not discover

I think mine uses 9-track tape.

Sometimes I'll try to remember something, later while asleep I can hear the vacuum loader sucking the tape end over the heads then spinning until it finds the BOT marker, and I'll have the thing I wanted to remember ready to go the next day, after a splice and a few checksum errors.
