Turn project emails and meetings into an organized notebook.
Paste in emails, meeting notes, and field notes. Datum Notes organizes them into a searchable project Library with contacts, trades, todos, a Today focus list, and an end-of-day log built from your work.
Built by a practicing architect, on real projects.

Action details
Library
Paste in an email or meeting. Get a clean Library card.
Every import becomes a searchable card with a summary, people, project tags, trade buckets, and the raw source kept underneath. When you wonder what was decided on the kitchen scope months later, search the Library and find the answer, not the pile. Library stores the record; it never spams your todo list.

One import. Four ways to find it.
People
Your project contacts build themselves.
Names, roles, emails, and phone numbers get pulled from your sources when they are present, creating a Rolodex that grows while you work. Before a quick call, type a name to see every open item sitting with that person across all your projects.

Today
Star a few todos for today. Keep the rest without losing them.
Your projects hold everything that is open. Today holds the two or three things you actually mean to finish. Starred items stay in their projects, and unfinished ones carry forward in red until you deal with them, so focusing does not mean forgetting.

Day log
An end-of-day summary and timecard, built from your work.
As you work through your notebook, Datum Notes assembles a per-project summary of the day and a timecard. No reconstructing yesterday from memory. No separate time-tracking chore.
