RHINAL
Rhinal is an AI-powered thought structuring tool designed for clinical researchers and professionals whose thinking has high stakes. It captures messy, chaotic thoughts—such as late-night ward observations, meeting decisions, or research insights—and transforms them into clean, dated, and connected records. These records are automatically stored in the user's own Notion workspace, ensuring complete privacy and data ownership. Unlike traditional note-taking apps that pile up information, Rhinal organizes entries and links related ideas, creating a compounding knowledge map over time. The AI never guesses missing details; instead, it asks clarifying questions, so only what the user actually said is preserved. Rhinal can run on the user's own local model for free, or via a cloud key, guaranteeing that no server ever reads their thinking. Setup takes about a minute, and it supports Google sign-in for quick access.

Problem solved
Professionals lose their best thinking—clinical observations, product decisions, research patterns—because they forget to capture them or bury them in disorganized notes. Rhinal solves this by instantly structuring raw thoughts into a clean, searchable, and linked memory system stored privately in Notion, without relying on AI to fill gaps.
