Think with everything you know.
Hi, I'm Wolfgang. I built ONA.UNO, and I'd like to tell you why.
Consulting projects. Software architecture. Research. Travel. Books. Politics. Science. Culture. News. Taxes. Household. Photography. Filmmaking. Gadgets. Conversations that mattered. Over decades, I've collected information across all of these, in every format imaginable: notes, emails, web clips, PDFs, documents, bookmarks. Because everything connects.
The dots were all there. But connecting them took a disproportionate amount of time and effort. Finding the right document. Locating the exact passage. Remembering which tool, which folder, what name, from when. And the hardest part: seeing that an email from January, an article from last summer, and a note from years ago all belong together.
I tried systems, tools, folders, tags, plugins, scripts. The same thing kept happening: the system worked as long as I worked for the system. The moment I got busy with actual thinking, the organizing stopped.
And then, gradually, something shifted. I stopped asking “how do I get better at organizing?” and started asking “what if organizing itself is the wrong job?”
That’s where ONA.UNO began.
The insight
Your brain doesn’t file things in folders. It connects them. You hear a phrase and it reminds you of a conversation from three years ago. You read an article and suddenly a half-forgotten idea clicks into place. That’s how your mind works: by association, not by hierarchy.
Except it forgets. Most of what you know is effectively unreachable even though you saved it.
What if your tools worked the way your mind works? Not by forcing you to organize, but by understanding what you saved and surfacing it when it matters.
That’s ONA.UNO.
How this is different
ONA.UNO is built on a simple conviction: your knowledge already contains more answers than you think. You just can’t reach them yet.
Your knowledge stays where it is.
ONA.UNO doesn’t replace your tools. Your files stay in their folders, your notes stay in Obsidian, your emails stay in Mail. ONA.UNO reads and indexes them. Nothing to migrate. Nothing to reorganize.
Everything becomes searchable by meaning, not just by name.
Search for “project deadlines” and find a note titled “delivery timeline Q3.” Search for “that argument about infrastructure spending” and find an email you forgot existed.
You don’t read. You ask.
Ask a question and get an answer grounded in your sources, with citations you can verify.
Structure emerges. You don’t impose it.
Every item that enters ONA.UNO is automatically summarized, titled, tagged, and embedded. You don’t maintain a taxonomy. You save something, and it finds its place.
Who this is for
You’ve tried systems, workflows, and productivity rituals that decay when life gets busy. You’re not lazy or disorganized. You’re someone who collects a lot because you think a lot.
ONA.UNO is for people who have already saved everything and want all of it to actually work for them.
What it’s not
ONA.UNO is not a note-taking app. It’s not a cloud service that stores your thoughts. It’s a native macOS app built to make your existing knowledge accessible on your terms.
