Overview
Óra is a personal timeline for memory, planning, and connection.
Remember what happened. Plan what's next. Stay connected over time.
Ora keeps events, places, media, notes, and conversations connected over time, creating persistent context for memory, planning, and AI.
| Layer | Role |
|---|---|
| Timeline | The chronological view of your life and plans. |
| Events | Moments in time that can represent plans, activities, memories, or ongoing work, bringing together places, media, websites, notes, conversations, and files. |
| Collections | A way to gather related events and context across time. |
Timeline
The Timeline is Óra’s home surface: a time-indexed record of life activities. Events, conversations, places, photos, videos, websites, and notes share one continuous canvas so context stays attached to when it happened — and what comes next.
Personal agents use that same timeline as persistent memory across the past, present, and future: what you’ve done, what matters now, and what you’re planning.
Day, week, and month
Move between a focused day, the near horizon of the week, and the broader month without leaving one personal record. Schedule and memory stay on the same surface.
Events as memory
Events are the atomic unit of the timeline. Each can hold time, place, media, notes, links, and conversation — so an activity is preserved as structured context, not only a calendar title.
Planning with AI
Prompts and suggestions stay grounded in your real schedule and artifacts. Models draft and plan against time-indexed context instead of a disconnected chat session.
Events
Events are the primary units of time in Óra. An event can represent a scheduled commitment, a plan, an activity, a memory, or another meaningful moment. Events can begin simply with a title and time and become richer as additional context is added.
| Context | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Time | When something happened or will happen. |
| Place | Where the event occurred or is planned to occur. |
| Media | Photos and video associated with the moment. |
| Notes | Written information worth preserving with the event. |
| Conversation | Questions, planning, and discussion grounded in the event. |
| Websites | Tickets, references, articles, reservations, and other relevant links. |
| Files | Documents or other materials that belong with the event. |
Events are designed to remain lightweight on the timeline while supporting greater depth when opened.
Event Workspace
Opening an event provides a deeper workspace for the context surrounding that moment.
The Event Workspace is where users can move from seeing an event to actively working with it: writing notes, asking questions, reviewing media, exploring places, opening websites, or preparing what comes next.
| Surface | Role |
|---|---|
| Timeline | Orientation — see when things happened and what is coming next. |
| Event Workspace | Depth — work with the context surrounding a single moment. |
An event should not require users to organize every piece of information manually. Context can accumulate around the event as it becomes useful.
Media
Media brings photos and video into the timeline.
Photos and videos can document something that happened, provide context for an upcoming plan, or preserve material users want to return to later.
Rather than existing only inside a standalone gallery, media can retain relationships to events, dates, locations, websites, and conversations.
This allows visual information to become part of the broader record of a moment.
Maps
Maps provide the location layer of Óra.
Places can be discovered, saved, and associated with events so that location remains connected to the rest of a user's context.
Maps support both planning and memory:
- Finding somewhere to go
- Remembering where something happened
- Adding places to upcoming events
- Revisiting locations associated with previous experiences
Place should function as context rather than as a separate organizational system.
Websites
Websites let users preserve useful parts of the web alongside the moments they relate to.
A website might be a reservation, article, ticket, product, restaurant, reference, or something discovered during a conversation.
Instead of becoming an isolated bookmark, a saved website can retain its relationship to an event, place, conversation, or other surrounding context.
Collections
Collections gather the context you return to into durable sets: media, places, websites, conversations, communities, and themes — a curated layer above individual events without losing the timeline that produced them.
Browse, extend, and share collections while each item remains connected to when and where it belonged on your timeline.
Media
Films, TV, music, books, comedy, and other taste signals tied to your activities — saved as sets you can revisit and share.
Places
Locations and venues you return to: travel, food, neighborhoods, and landmarks, grouped for planning and memory.
Websites & conversations
Links, references, and conversation threads that belong together as ongoing context — not one-off tabs or chat logs.
Your archive
Personal sets you create: a story layer that compounds over time while staying grounded in events on the timeline.
Integrations
Integrations connect the services you already use so Óra can import schedules, personalize your timeline, and keep planning grounded in real calendars, media, and preferences.
Calendar and platform access is opt-in. Connected sources feed the same time-indexed memory — they do not replace it.
Calendars & sync
Import, export, and sync events with Google Calendar and other schedule sources so commitments stay aligned with your timeline.
Platforms
Calendars, email, photos, payments, music, and other defaults that shape how you plan — connected as context sources, not a separate product silo.
External context
Bring fragmented external sources into reliable, time-indexed state: schedules, places, and preferences agents can use with you.
Models
Óra can use language models to help users work with the context in their timeline.
Rather than treating a conversation as isolated text, models can work with relevant events, dates, places, notes, websites, and other available context.
This can support activities such as:
- Planning
- Answering questions
- Summarizing information
- Drafting notes or content
- Reasoning across past and upcoming events
Users can choose available models from Settings.
