remio is fantastic

If you don't get this tool, then you will be missing out. Knowledge and data are two of the most valuable digital assets you can have, especially with the way A.I. is moving forward. Big companies are paying a lot of money for data, so why shouldn't you have a tool to capture, store, and save your own?

The privacy of your information with this tool is also safe and local. If you don't want Remio capturing every page you visit, then you can turn that off and still use the extension to save only the important pages with 1 single click. Remio is the perfect place to work with large or small amounts of your files/data and actually utilize them. There's a lot under the hood with this tool, and I haven't gotten a chance to use all its features yet, but I'm still happy with the purchase. It has become my personal command center and knowledge base with local AI integration. There have been frequent updates to this tool while it's been on Appsumo, and it has slowly evolved into something bigger and better than my initial purchase, which I love to see and get excited about when pushing a new update.

I always go to Reddit before buying a tool to make sure there are some positive social signals about the tool and happy users prior to appsumo launch, and there were. If a tool is good, then people will be there talking about it. I'm very happy that they are working on integrating Google Drive as an optional way to sync and back up your local data. This is huge for me because I've learned more than once that in this day and age, you must have things backed up multiple ways. External hard drives and SDs do eventually fail. So now that Remio is integrating Google Drive as an optional feature, this tool could really become my main personal power horse knowledge base!

They do have a working mobile app that you bind to the desktop client, and any notes you save on the phone app will be synced to Remio on the desktop. I would like to see full sync features that let me view my desktop files on my phone, and I know that if they implement this, they will use strong encryption methods to keep my data mine.

Some improvements that could be made would be to allow us to choose the folders on our local computer to save our data to, instead of auto-saving to the Remio folder on the C drive. For example, I would love to create a folder on my external hard drive and set it for saving data, and even go beyond and create nested folders on my external and save different collections into different folders. Organization at a granular level is very important to me when dealing with this much data and so many files. Also, when my C drive storage gets full, then what will Remio do if it can't save it to the forced Remio folder?

I would also like an option to save pages to a specific collection from the web extension, rather than just dumping them into my general knowledge base. I like to keep my data really clean and organized. If you can insert yourself into the shoes of Patrick Bateman from American Psycho or Dexter, and try to imagine what kind of experience they would like to have when organizing their personal data, then you can imagine it would be pretty intricate and organized on a micro level.

The other improvement is that the naming of each file within the local desktop folders needs to be custom, and let us choose the title of the document, so that I can open the desktop folders where the data is stored and quickly see all my files organized with clean, readable titles. Now that was all local stuff, of course, everything you see in Remio is titled properly and organizable.

I would like them to revisit the organizing "view" on the user side of things and consider how Windows File Explorer is set up and has an option to change the view so that you can see the data organized in different ways, and this allows the user to customize the view panel of their data. So overall, I would please ask you to put more thought into this and for collections, and allow us to nest collections inside of collections and have better options to view them and manipulate the UI ourselves to make it personal and custom.

Also, improvement on the right side of the panels. I just see a bunch of logos to click to try and find what I'm looking for, which can take a little time figuring out which logo is what. I don't spend all day in the tool, so I haven't built up muscle memory for the logos, but I feel that if you want to improve for beginners of your tool and make it accessible and easy for them, then something could be done there.

But great job, consider marketing strategies and improve your on page seo with keywords like "AI Knowledge Base", "Second Brain", and all the other buzzwords. It's a disgrace that you might very well have the best current tool in this category, but you don't even show up when googling those keywords. Spelling error on your info capture page FAQ, it says "Youtube Vedios".

Wow, thank you for one of the most thorough and thoughtful reviews we've ever received! 🙏
The Patrick Bateman/Dexter analogy for data organization is one we'll never forget 😄 , and honestly, it perfectly captures the level of granular control you're asking for. Nested collections, custom save paths, external drive support, per-collection saving from the extension — these are all great ideas that are on our radar.
Your point about the right panel icons is well taken , we'll work on making it more intuitive for new users. And yes, we caught the "Youtube Vedios" typo, fixed!
On the SEO front, you're absolutely right and we appreciate the nudge. We have the product, now we need people to find it.
Thank you for the detailed feedback and for believing in where this is going. This is exactly the kind of input that shapes our roadmap. 🚀
