A reading life, captured.
Dogear captures a reader’s thoughts in the moment — across anything they read — and turns the accumulating record into a portrait of who they are as a reader and a thinker. Think Spotify for your reading identity, and Oura for the daily ritual: the more you put in, the sharper the picture of you.
This is a personal product project, shown here as a work in progress — the designs, a working prototype, and the thinking behind it.
The wedge
Capture, the moment you think it
Speak a reaction the second you have it — across any book, article, paper, scripture, or artifact. Voice is primary; you're never forced to file before you speak. Record first, annotate later.
The engine
A record that becomes a portrait
Every captured thought accumulates into something that reflects you back: where a source ran hot or cold, and who you are as a reader across everything. The more you put in, the sharper the picture — and the harder it is to leave.
The partner
Muse reflects, then asks
An AI thinking partner that mirrors your own thoughts back and asks one good question that moves the thinking forward — not a quiz, not a summary service.
