Lindsay Watt

I'm Lindsay Watt and I built Everett.

I've been saving interesting things for 20 years. I'll visit a website and think “I need to remember that.” I'll read a book and take notes of the best passages. I have folders full of PDFs I swore I'd read one day. All of it sitting around unused — scattered across note-taking apps, cloud drives, bookmarking apps and Substacks.

So I built Everett.

Every other app is a filing cabinet — a place where you dutifully file a note and never see it again. At Everett, the save is the start. Everett connects everything you bring and uses this to suggest what to ask and provides cited answers.

No more filing cabinets.

Since I started Everett my thinking is sharper and more creative. I'm sure yours will be too. Reach out and let me know: email me or just book time.

I'm not convinced yet that Everett is for me.

Fair. If you tried the demo and read this far then maybe seeing some of the other things you can do with Everett will give you the confidence to sign up.

It's easy to save anything and follow experts.
