Can I use it for personal things too?
The question comes up often, and it is fair: for a founder or a small team, life and the project do not sort neatly into two boxes. A meeting, an idea, a follow-up can belong to both.
The answer
Yes. Alongside shared memories, you have a personal memory. What goes in stays yours.
What never crosses into it
The personal space is not a team memory with one member. It is a category of its own, and the difference shows across the product:
- No seat used. The personal space does not count towards the seats in your plan.
- Outside cross-memory reading. Views that compose several memories of an organization exclude it, including for you: cross-memory reading is an organizational object.
- Outside organization exports. An organization export does not carry it.
- Nobody else reaches it, whatever their role in the organization.
What goes where
The simple rule: if the information would need to be known by your team on a day you are not there, it belongs in a shared memory. Otherwise it belongs in the personal space.
One common hesitation: a personal note about a customer. If it carries a judgment, keep it. If it carries a fact useful to whoever picks up the account, it belongs in the shared memory.
Didn't work?
- You put something personal in the team memory. It is not irreversible: the item can be archived, and archiving is not deleting.
- You want a personal note to become collective. There is no automatic switch: put it into the right memory, choosing what you share.
- You cannot remember where you wrote something. The memory switcher shows which one is active as you write. That is where the confusion happens, almost every time.
FAQ
Is the personal space billed?
No, it uses no seat.
Can my employer read it?
No. A personal memory enters no organization view, neither for an owner nor for an administrator.
Can I have several personal memories?
The useful separation is between personal and shared. To organize inside, categories are the tool, not more memories.
