Root fits beside tools you already use.
A fast, local-first staging ground for text in motion. Root doesn’t try to be your lifetime archive (like Obsidian or Apple Notes) or your company database (like Notion). It is the anti-friction layer between your brain, your browser, and your tools: owned completely, subscription-free, and platform-agnostic.
