Remio
Freemium | Paid | Ideas & Trends
Overview
Remio is a local-first agentic AI assistant that runs on your Mac or Windows machine. Unlike cloud-based note apps, Remio automatically captures everything you work on: web highlights, local documents, PDFs, images, Slack messages, Gmail, Outlook, and meeting recordings. Your data stays on your device unless you opt in. The core feature is Ask remio, a natural language search that queries your entire knowledge base and returns synthesized answers with source citations. A new aApp Market lets you run agentic apps that grow with your knowledge and automate daily tasks. The Pro plan at $11.6 per month billed annually adds 2,000 AI credits, all premium LLMs, AI Meeting Assistant, image generation, and full device sync. The BYOK plan at $8.7 per month lets you connect your own API keys for strict key-based privacy.

How It Works
You install Remio on your Mac or Windows machine. A browser extension captures web pages, highlights, and bookmarks as you browse, and the desktop app indexes local folders, PDF files, images, and Markdown notes without uploading them anywhere. Slack, Gmail, and Outlook integrations pull in messages and shared content automatically. Once your knowledge base is populated, you interact with it conversationally. Type a question in the Ask remio panel and the AI retrieves relevant notes, files, or web clips and synthesizes an answer. The recording assistant captures audio from meetings without a bot joining the call, and generates summaries and action items. An aApp Market lets you install agentic apps that automate daily tasks based on your personal knowledge. Basic AI search uses 100 free credits per month; Pro and BYOK plans unlock higher credit limits, premium LLMs, and image generation.
