Startup one-liner:
A visual, searchable knowledge base of your screen time
Problem the startup solves:
Search across applications
A lot of research involves collating information from multiple sources; internal tools like confluence, websites like wikipedia, pdf and doc files etc; When searching for something we don’t always remember the source (or it’s at the tip of your tongue)
Train-of-thought recovery
Autosave isn’t always an option, in those cases you can easily recover your train of thought, a screenshot to use as a stencil, or extracted copy from memories recorded.
Progress and Current Status:
Cyte is currently in Beta!
What is an Inspiring Story about the Startup?:
I (Sarah) have ADHD which means I have very poor working memory. Cyte has given me the ability of super-human recollection across my digital history. OCR + NLP Semantic analysis means I can search by meaning as well as visual content. I can worry less knowing that I have a digital backup of how I spend my time online.
What is a Company the Startup Looks Up to, and Why?:
Shottr. Shottr is a small, fast, human-sized screenshot app built for those who care about pixels. It was crafted with Swift, optimized for M1, and is distributed for free. I use this tool every single day, it is an integral part of my workflow and the founder is very approachable.
The Company in Four Years Will Be…
Hopefully, Apple will have integrated this across all their software.
Cyte is a tool that can help everyone who uses a computer, especially those who are neurodivergent and whose brain works a little bit differently than normal people. Our goal for Cyte is to help increase productivity in the digital world.
