Storage
Four layers, each with a clear job and a clear lifetime. You choose how far a mind goes: browser only, hosted, pinned, anchored.
Built in layers
The app keeps every mind and record you create in this browser first. It works with no server and no transaction, and it is gone if you clear site data.
Sync a mind to the site's hosted store so other devices and agents can recall it through the API. Records expire 30 days after the last write during the practice period.
Publish all records of a mind as one JSON file pinned to IPFS. Its content id goes into the next anchor, so the snapshot and the proof point at each other.
Each anchor writes the Merkle root, record count, version and snapshot link to PinloCortex. Text never goes on-chain; hashes and labels do, and they are public.
Switch on a passphrase and records are encrypted before they leave the page: AES-GCM 256 with a PBKDF2-SHA256 key, 310,000 rounds, fresh salt per record.
Every anchor is numbered. Older roots stay readable, so a record can be checked against the version that existed when a decision was made.
What it costs
There is no subscription. During the practice period the hosted store and pinning are free within limits, and an anchor costs only the gas of one transaction.

The app
Connect a wallet, open a mind, and work through it: add records, recall them, sync to the hosted store, pin a snapshot, grant access and anchor a version. Every step that touches the chain shows the transaction and a link to the explorer.
Open the appThe API
One endpoint, five actions, a signature instead of an API key. A small helper in the repository wraps it for Node; any language that can sign an Ethereum message can call it directly.
Read the APIEncryption, exactly
The app derives a 256-bit key from your passphrase with PBKDF2-SHA256, 310,000 rounds and a random 16-byte salt per record, then encrypts the text with AES-GCM and a random 12-byte IV. Only the ciphertext, salt and IV are saved. Kind, tags, time and writer stay readable so recall and access checks still work.
Questions
In your browser, until you clear it. On the hosted store, 30 days after the mind was last written to, during the practice period. An IPFS snapshot stays while it is pinned. An anchored root stays on Robinhood Chain for as long as the chain runs.
Only encrypted. Turn on the passphrase in the app and records are encrypted in your browser before they are saved or synced. Without it, hosted records are plain text that the site operator can read.
Records are not edited; you add a new one that corrects the old. The owner can forget records from the hosted store. Roots already anchored stay on-chain, and pinned snapshots stay while pinned.
The hosted copy is dropped. Your browser copy, any IPFS snapshot and every on-chain root are unaffected, and syncing again restores the hosted copy.
Once the token and the PinloTether contract are live, an active lock is planned to raise a wallet's hosted quotas. The thresholds are set at launch. Locking pays nothing and the tokens come back at the end of the term.
