Put everything on my personal computer(s) into someone's cloud? Not after reading the Atlas "Privacy" statement:
"Someone from the Atlas team may analyze how you are using the product in order to improve its design and new features, however, we do not have access to the contents of the items (documents or files) remembered through Recall beyond the minimum required to operate Recall and its associated services."
No definition of who "someone" is or "the minimum required" contents needed to "operate Recall". Nope. That statement is the same as "we won't read your stuff, but, hang on, maybe we will read your stuff if someone here feels like it would be a good idea".

Besides the obvious privacy concerns, the app is very vague about how it works. "Magic" isn't very satisfying for something that seemingly takes over all of your digital life. It claims not not need your passwords or login credentials, but it still lets you search your online accounts? This raises more questions than it answers, and I don't trust sites that act coy about what they are doing to your computer.

Thanks guys,
I'm never that good at reading between the lines of privacy policies.
any comment on the mechanism employed to deal with recall and our information?
I kinda wish thebrain had a visual UI for files and attachments that looked a bit like Atlas....

Not sure exactly what that means (haven't looked at Atlas), but TheBrain 9 does have a viewer for attachments and weblinks. The documents show up in the editor window. Here's how PDF (of an Exel table) looks:

True steve,
thebrain9 really does improve things over the last versions.
I suppose I meant to show more on the plex. It always surprises me how small and granulated a thumbnail of any document spurs recall as to the content.
only had thebrain9 for a few days now, used to use the calendar extensively, am at a bit of a loss there, but gosh what a nice layout now!
thanks.
