Say it however it comes out.Rune keeps track of it.
A personal assistant for people whose brains work differently. Talk the way you think. Rune sorts it into tasks, promises and notes, remembers how you work, and helps you start the next small step.

Capability isn’t
one-dimensional
You can solve the hardest problem in the room and still struggle with something everyone else finds simple. Most tools only measure one of those.

Rune learns you.
Then it adapts.
Product-direction examples, not shipped features. Early versions go to the waitlist first.
Your commitments
What you promised, to whom, and by when. Rune holds it so your head doesn't have to.
Your attention patterns
When you focus, when you drift, and what pulls you away. Rune plans around the real you.
Your priorities
What matters most when everything feels urgent. Ask, and Rune answers from your actual goals.
Adapts to your brain.
Not the other way round.
Most productivity software gives everyone the same system and hopes you'll change. Rune starts from the opposite assumption.
- Goals
- Commitments
- Attention patterns
- Strengths
- Failure modes
- Priorities
- Ways of working
- When to nudge
- When to stay quiet
- What you promised
You said you’d follow up with these three people yesterday. None were sent.
I’ve drafted them from your previous conversations.
Don’t standardize the person when you can redesign the environment.
Some problems shouldn’t require another human every time. Rune is our attempt to let software adapt to the individual: learn how you work, then quietly carry the parts your brain drops.
The idea behind RuneBuilt with neurodivergent founders and builders
A private community
for different minds
For people whose brains don't always move in straight lines: neurodivergent founders, engineers, designers, salespeople and operators building difficult things.
Every member answers
What do you need help with?
Ask for what you need
Say where you're stuck. Someone in the room has usually solved it already.
And answers
What can you help someone else with?
Offer what you're good at
You're probably unusually good at something another member is struggling with.
Then
Share what works. Stay accountable. Find collaborators.
Build with people like you
Not a support group, a course or a marketplace. Free, private and application only.

Questions,
answered plainly
Straight answers about Rune, the community and what happens to your data.
Not yet. Rune is in early development. Early versions go to people on the waitlist who want to test them, and their feedback decides what ships.
We’re studying how
different minds work best
In time, this becomes Nonlinear Research: a body of knowledge that shapes both Rune and the community.
How different minds do their best work
What we've learned so far from interviews, surveys, existing research and lived experience. Questions first, not claims.
