About Magpie
Magpie exists because good ideas don't arrive when you're ready for them.
They show up mid-conversation, while driving, during a podcast, or halfway through a ChatGPT thread you'll never find again. And for a long time, I kept losing them.
I built Magpie to give ideas a durable home — one you own — without forcing you into rigid systems or rewriting your voice in the process.
Magpie is intentionally simple: it helps you capture ideas as they happen, organize them lightly with AI, and store them in GitHub so they stay accessible over time.
How we think about AI
A few principles guide how Magpie is built:
AI should amplify your thinking, not replace it
Your words matter. Magpie preserves them by default.
Ownership matters more than convenience
Your ideas live in tools you control, not locked inside proprietary systems.
Structure should be earned, not forced
Organization should support momentum, not slow it down.
About the maker
Magpie is built by Rebecca Spitzer — a product leader, builder, and writer who thinks out loud and needed a better way to keep track of the ideas that matter.
If you want the longer version — the messy, human one — that lives in my writing.
If your best ideas keep slipping away, Magpie might help.
