I’ve always been a lifelong learner—someone who believes that no matter your passion or field of interest, continuous learning is the key to unlocking your full potential. I was that person who would listen to podcasts at 2x or 3x speed and binge YouTube videos to absorb every bit of insight I could find. Over the years, I experimented with countless note-taking systems—from online Docs to scribbling in physical notebooks—but nothing ever felt right. I struggled to find a tool that not only captured the raw knowledge but also made the crucial connections between all the things I learned.

That’s when it hit me: why settle for tools that just document, when you could have one that builds a second brain? I needed a system that could transform every piece of learning into atomic notes that interlink, so I can see the bigger picture without rehashing old content. Kernel was born out of that frustration—a tool designed to capture, connect, and clarify the insights accumulated over years of relentless learning. I built Kernel for people like me, and for anyone who believes that every insight matters.
