New Floating Inclrs, Multiple Windows and Split View Support!We've been working on something quite exciting! The new update on the Inclr Mac allows you to create floating inclrs!

If that wasn't enough, we also added multiple windows on the Mac version, which means you can finally open different spaces at the same time.

Tips for Inclr: SyncHere are some tips and things to look out for when using Inclr: 1. Sync: at the moment syncing in Inclr involves two separate processes. Documents including any file imported and pictures, are synced in the background using iCloud. Sometimes iCloud does not work, so resetting the device often helps. 2. Sync: the other process involves syncing the database. This is tricky as the database is one file. So any syncing current requires you to make changes on one device at a time. Making changes on...Sep 29, 2023 · 1 min read

Social Media Integration is coming to Inclr!To be honest, social media is something I am personally not fond of. So much so that I really detest going onto their platforms. So I'm an anti-tech tech guy, kind of. That said, I can't deny how social networks also equate to groups and communities of people that form connections perhaps otherwise impossible. Whilst less deep, these connections are made up for as the potential for deeper connections. At a conversion rate of perhaps 0.01%? With this in mind, Inclr is steering towards the...Nov 8, 2021 · 2 min read

Visual and Spatial Intelligence for Tomorrow’s TechWithin our Inclr app, we explore the relationship of function and form in the realm of technology. Tech together with function is prevalent concept. You see claims to better efficiency in every sales pitch. But what of form? Whilst there are more visual ways to navigate information than there ever were, they seem to be only the scratching the surface of what is possible, and arguably what is better, for tomorrow’s tech. Why is visual and spatial intelligence important? Are lists and grid’s...Oct 15, 2021 · 2 min read

Using AI in InclrBefore I knew it, AI had caught up to an idea from 15 years ago, the precursor to Inclr. I was sitting in a hotel room in Bangkok. I was in a period in my life best described as a mixture of creative fervour and overloaded aloofness. I had a lot of ideas, a few projects going on and little progress on the journey to truth or destiny. But an idea came to me in that hotel room, an idea that would keep my attention for years to come. It was called Cluster - interconnected second brains through...Aug 22, 2021 · 2 min read
