From raw AI output to permanent memory.
Default NotebookLM is great for summarizing, but poor for retention. Engram builds an end-to-end pipeline that ensures you actually remember what you research.
Drop files. Auto-index.
Download your audio overviews (.mp3 / .wav) and briefing notes (.md / .txt). Drop them into Engram. The app automatically extracts key topics, parses transcripts, and organizes your library.
100% local database.
Your entire knowledge base stays on your disk in SQLite. No cloud subscriptions, no telemetry, and zero tracking. Review your complete library on flights, trains, or off-grid.
Turn audio into active recall.
Passive listening leads to rapid forgetting. Engram converts key insights into interactive flashcards and quiz questions linked directly to audio timestamps.
Lock in recall with streaks.
Engram calculates optimal review intervals using spaced repetition. Pair reviews with 25-minute Pomodoro timers, earn daily streak multipliers, and level up your mastery score.
Defeat the forgetting curve.
Without review, 70% of new insights vanish in 48 hours. Adjust the slider to see how spaced repetition keeps your recall above 90%.
