MyCrystal

A quieter place for what matters

Keep the signal.
Lose the scroll.

Send an X post link or public webpage link through the MyCrystal Telegram bot or email. MyCrystal preserves the source as a clean Markdown note, then automatically inserts AI-generated wiki links into the Markdown. Those links and their backlinks weave it into related knowledge already in your private vault.

A link points back to where something was.

MyCrystal preserves what it said—and brings it into conversation with what you have already kept.

    Start with something worth keeping.

    Send one public link through the MyCrystal Telegram bot or your verified email.

  2. 02Preserve

    Keep what the source actually said.

    The readable source becomes clean, durable Markdown. An AI summary is not the default.

    Make the material part of your own work.

    Edit one block at a time, add a question or thought, and return as your understanding changes.

  5. 05Own

    Your vault travels with you.

    Open your web-based vault from any device. Your knowledge is not trapped here: download one note or export the complete vault as portable Markdown, with wiki links that remain readable in tools such as Obsidian.

Designed for active reading

A library to return to—not an inbox to clear.

MyCrystal has no unread count and no pressure to finish. What you preserve remains ready to reread, connect, question, and develop over time.

Private by default

Your collection stays yours.

Your vault is built from sources you deliberately select—not from another recommendation feed. Saved notes remain private to your account and are excluded from public search.

Download individual Markdown files, export the complete vault, edit what you keep, or remove it. MyCrystal is a destination for your attention, not a lock on your information.

MyCrystal uses privacy-conscious product analytics to understand which features are useful. Analytics never includes your saved URLs, note text, email address, Telegram identity, or wiki-link concepts.

Questions

Before you bring the first signal home.

Is MyCrystal a read-later app?

You can save something before you have time to read it, but MyCrystal does not treat your vault as a queue. There are no unread counts or completion pressure. A saved source remains part of your private library, ready to revisit as new notes and connections accumulate.

Does MyCrystal summarize what I save?

Not by default. MyCrystal preserves the readable source and uses AI to identify useful concepts and add wiki links. Open a wiki link to bring notes that share the concept into view; backlinks show which notes connect to the one you are reading. AI reveals paths through your vault, while reading, interpretation, and synthesis remain yours.

What can I save?

The current release supports public X posts and public webpages. Restricted pages, paywalled material, and sources that require a private sign-in may not be capturable.

How do I send something to MyCrystal?

Connect the MyCrystal Telegram bot and send it one public link, or email one public link to the capture address from the verified email you use to sign in.

Is my vault public?

No. Your vault and saved notes are private application pages tied to your account. They are not published or exposed to search engines.

Can I take my notes elsewhere?

Yes. Download an individual note as Markdown or export the complete vault as a ZIP. The Markdown preserves wiki-link syntax for ordinary editors and tools such as Obsidian.

Does MyCrystal replace Obsidian?

Not necessarily. MyCrystal focuses on capturing and digesting deliberately selected online information. Its portable Markdown can complement an existing local knowledge workflow.

Is the current version free?

Yes. The current free plan includes up to 60 captured links per month while MyCrystal is in its early release.

Nothing to clear. Ready when you are.

Give what matters a quieter destination.
