In The Queue

A short list of features and updates that are on the roadmap.

Opal API

Enable users to generate full access and read-only API keys for AI agents (like OpenClaw, and get the Opal Recall SKILL) or programmatic access to Opal from other applications.

Completed
Shared Workspaces, Fences, & Binders
  • Published Fences
  • Published Binders
  • Shared Binders
  • Shared Fences
  • Shared Workspaces
  • I want to provide the option for teams of people to be able to access grouped content in workspaces, fences, and binders.

In Progress
AI Integration

Create AI agents in 1-click to automate your work, business, or life (like Claude Code, Claude Co-Work, Perplexity Computer, OpenClaw) while also being able to give them context and prompts from your Opal Content (in markdown format) via drag and drop and/or proximity.

High Priority
Data Export

It's your content. I don't want you to feel locked into Opal. You'll be able to export all your content within any workspace.

Priority
End-To-End Encryption (E2EE)

We want to provide the ability for users have total peace of mind with End-To-End Encryption.

E2EE encrypts data locally on your device before transmitting (saving) to the database. The data is stored in an encrypted state. When data is downloaded (an item is opened), the data will be decrypted by your key (long password).

Priority
Native Apps

iOS, Android, Windows, & Mac OS, but starting with mobile so notifications in Opal will have a greater impact.

Manage Contacts

Opal is so beta there isn't yet a way to store collaborators or team members. You have to enter their email every time. Sorry. I just had to launch.

Completed
3rd Party Integrations
  • Connect your CRUSH API (https://crushthememory.com) to bring your AI transcribed notes into Opal as notes or documents, to your inbox or directly to a workspace, binder, or fence.
  • Create iFrame items for URLs that allow it (works with Google Docs). Additional integrations prioritized based on user feedback.

In Progress
Landmark Items

These will be named, visual ornaments (fun images) that you can position on the grid in a workspace and then position your items nearby.

This will complete the idea of Opal acting as a mind palace.

Upload PDF, Doc, Image Item Type

Users should be able to drag a PDF (and potentially other documents, images, etc.) onto the grid and it appear as its own item type.

Opening the PDF would display a readable PDF. If it's an image, it would be viewable on the grid and could be opened to view a larger version.

Completed
Item Exports

Any document, note, or link (with block editor) should be exportable to PDF or HTML.

Completed
Web Clipper

Select content on a web page or email, clip it, have it appear in a note or document in your inbox.

The web clipper will also have one-click creation of links and iframes of the URL of any page which will appear in your inbox.

Build Your Knowledge Base, SOPs, Agent Context, Or Just Connect Ideas By Linking Items

Even if your content is spread out, belongs to another workspace, or just needs to be in multiple contexts.

Something Was Lost When Everything Went Digital
"I'll Know It When I See It," Is Harder To Come By

Do you have a paperclip?

Basements, garages, storage units—things get stashed and are quickly forgotten because they're out of sight. The same thing happens with our digital content. Documents, notes, links, etc. get buried in layers of user-interface debris, sometimes created by ourselves.

This will duplicate the binder, but not its containing items. However, the new binder will retain links to the same set of items, which will now belong to the original binder AND the new binder.

The fundamental tools for knowledge management with less forgetting, less searching, and less frustrations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I have to switch my whole business into Opal on day one?

No. Most people start by adding their “active jobs,” “hot clients,” or “current initiatives.” It's also easy to add Google Docs & Sheets so you can organize them spatially and edit them from Opal.

You'll feel the difference in under an hour when you stop chasing stuff.

Can I share things?

Yes. You can share individual items and binders full of items with specific people and control what they can do (view, edit, etc.).

Can I publish something for a client?

Yes. You can turn a document into a public, read-only page and send them the link.

No login required.

What happens if I cancel?

You can still access your data, but you won't be able to create anything new.

You can request full purge if you want it gone.

How much is it going to cost me?

There's a free tier to start using it.

Paid plans unlock more items, more workspaces, more features, and more storage so you can scale when you're ready.

Is my data safe?

Built on enterprise-grade infrastructure trusted by major organizations. Regarding some specifics:

  • Your authentication data is fully tokenized and hashed and your data is encrypted in transit.
  • Your content is stored not merely in cloud infrastructure, but with a data model and API platform (fully deployed on the same infrastructure) trusted by large enterprises, global banks, and government clients that handle sensitive data.
  • You can cancel any time on your own without emailing or talking to anyone. Individual items can be exported and the bulk data export feature is coming soon.
