Private by design

Everything runs on your device. We can't read it, because we don't have it.

Sankofa insight

Local intelligence that connects your memories and shows you what matters.

Built for real life

Not just notes. Ohene reveals patterns, prompts reflection, and helps you grow.

Not a notes app

A note remembers what happened.
Ohene notices who you are becoming.

On the home, Sankofa surfaces a single observation, drawn from what you have already written and quoted in your own words. Not a feed. Not a prompt. A line you did not know was waiting for you.

It reads the whole of you at once. The line from this morning, the worry from three weeks ago, the person you keep returning to. Then it shows you the thread between them.

The Ohene home page. Sankofa surfaces an observation drawn from what the user has written.
What it does for you

Your mind is not a list.
It is a constellation.

You write. Sankofa reads. And the parts of your life you were too close to see begin to come clear.

See what you keep returning to.The constellation
Your memories become a map you can read at a glance. The people, the worries, the ideas your life keeps circling. What stays invisible in a list becomes obvious as a shape.
Understand the patterns you live by.The seven wisdoms
Sankofa reads each memory into one of seven Adinkra wisdoms, ideas older than any app: love, persistence, change, purpose. Over a year, you see which ones have quietly been running your life.
Get answers about your own life.Ask Sankofa
Ask anything, in plain words. What did I say about my father this spring? When did I last feel this way? You get the truth from your own writing, never a guess, and never a word you did not write.
Feel read, once a week.The Sunday letter
Every Sunday, a short letter about what your mind kept returning to, quoting you back to yourself. The rare feeling of being understood, without having to explain a thing.
Keep the year, instead of losing it.The Book of You
Each year, bound into one volume in your own words. The people who stayed, what you carried, who you were. A life remembered, instead of scrolled past and forgotten.

A note remembers a day. Your constellation remembers the shape of a life.

Local-first, by design

Your memories belong to you.
Full stop.

Ohene was built the opposite way to most of what you carry. The intelligence lives on your iPhone, not on a server. There is no account to create, nothing to log in to, and nothing about your inner life sitting in someone else's database.

On your device

The reading happens on your iPhone. Reflections, connections, and search all run on-device, working the same whether you are online or on a plane.

No accounts, no tracking

No sign-up, no profile sold, no analytics following you around. Ohene has nothing to gain from watching you, so it does not.

Yours to carry

Export everything you have written, any time, in plain formats you own. If you leave, you leave with all of it. Optional iCloud sync uses your own private account.

The only time anything leaves your phone is the weekly deeper reading, and only if you subscribe. It is sent privately, used once to compose your letter, and never stored or trained on. Read the full privacy policy.
