A life doesn't fit in one place, so it ends up everywhere. Email, calendar, texts, notes, transcripts. A dozen apps that each do one job well. No single one was ever going to hold a whole life.

What slips first is the people. The old friend worth a call. The client from six months back, and the worry they mentioned in passing. The introduction that could have changed someone's year. It doesn't slip for lack of caring. Life just pulls toward whoever is loudest and closest.

And not just the people. Ideas, plans, things worth writing down. They scatter the same way.

Root System is a memory layer for a life. It draws from where a life already happens: the calendar, the email, the messages, the transcripts. It keeps itself current. Nobody has to feed it. And any AI can draw on it, so the tools already in daily use finally know the full story.

And it belongs to the person whose life it is. It runs on their hardware or a cloud they control. Their data, their keys, and the code open for anyone to read. Leave anytime, and take everything.

This is early, and we're building it in the open. If a scattered life sounds familiar, tell us the hardest part of holding it together, and we'll send word when it's ready.
