Enzyme: Making Space for Unfinished Thoughts

Most note-taking tools push us toward completion and organization. But some of our most valuable insights live in the spaces between – in half-formed ideas, recurring questions, and thoughts we keep coming back to.

Getting Started

  1. Install the menubar app - Enzyme runs quietly in your menubar
  2. Point it to your notes - Works with any Markdown files (Obsidian, plain text)
  3. Start exploring - Discover patterns in your thinking

Working with Incomplete Ideas

/enz #draft<15         // See recent unfinished thoughts
/enz #revisit          // Surface notes you marked to return to
/enz questions/        // Browse your open questions

Turn scattered thoughts into insights by using Enzyme’s Prompts feature:

  • “What themes keep appearing in my #draft notes?”
  • “Show me connections between my #questions from the last month”
  • “What topics do I keep marking #revisit but haven’t returned to?”

Key Features

  • Context Engine: Feed relevant notes to Claude Desktop or Zed Editor
  • Pattern Discovery: Let natural connections emerge from your notes
  • Quick Digests: Templates that help process your thought inbox

Beyond Organization

Rather than forcing structure, Enzyme helps you:

  • Give incomplete thoughts room to develop
  • Notice patterns in what catches your attention
  • Build on ideas naturally over time

Enzyme isn’t about getting more done – it’s about understanding your own thinking better.
