"Who's who in my zoo?"
Most tools make you look things up.
WhosWhoZoo already knows.
It loads everything you've saved about people and answers from that β instantly and completely. Like talking to your own memory.
Your Three Memory Tiers
π₯οΈActive β your desk
Four files always in front of Claude: people.md, reflections.md, fragments.md, loops.md. Every chat loads these automatically. This is your working memory β keep it lean and current.
π¦Archive β your filing cabinet
Older records you don't need every day but still want accessible. Tap π¦ Archive once to include archive files in chat and search. Use /archive-review to let AI suggest what's ready to move here.
πCold Storage β rarely accessed, never auto-loaded
Records you want to keep long-term but rarely need. Cold storage files are never suggested for cleanup and are never loaded automatically β they only open when you ask. Use /deep [name] to move a record here. Run /recall [name] to search cold storage, or bare /recall to browse everything in it.
Moving records between tiers
Active β Archive: /archive [name] or /archive-review
Archive β Cold Storage: /deep [name] or /deep-review
Any tier β Active: /restore [name]
How It Works
πΎYour memory, your files
Your notes live in your own account β not on WhosWhoZoo servers. You can export or delete everything anytime. There are 4 active files (people, reflections, fragments, loops), 4 archive files for older records, and 4 cold storage files for rarely accessed long-term records.
π§ Claude reads everything, every time
Every question loads your complete memory into Claude before answering. No guessing, no partial results β it sees the full picture every time, which is why it can make connections across people and topics.
π¦Archive keeps it lean
Records you no longer need daily move to archive. Use the π¦ toggle to include archive files in chat and search. Cold storage is separate β use /recall to search it. Cold storage records are never loaded automatically.
πCurated memory β no outside noise
Claude reads only what you've saved β not the internet, not anyone else's data. That's why answers are focused and confident: no hallucinated details, no blending in facts about the wrong person. Clean notes mean better answers than generic AI memory tools that pull from everywhere.
πVoice in, voice out
Tap the mic to enter conversation mode. Speak naturally. The app transcribes, sends to Claude, and reads the response aloud β with URLs and code replaced by verbal cues so it stays listenable.
Privacy & Cost
π‘οΈYour data never trains AI models
WhosWhoZoo uses the Anthropic API β not the Claude.ai website. API usage is explicitly excluded from model training under Anthropic's terms. Your notes are processed by Claude to answer your questions, but are never stored by Anthropic long-term or used to improve any AI model. If you use voice replies, the spoken text passes through ElevenLabs or OpenAI TTS β also under API terms that prohibit training use.
βοΈStored at the edge, not a central server
Your memory files are stored on Cloudflare's global network β the same infrastructure that powers millions of websites. There is no WhosWhoZoo database, no account to breach. Your data lives in your Cloudflare account, accessible only with your access key.
π³No subscription β fill a bucket, use what you need
You add credits to your own Anthropic account (like a prepaid balance) and pay only for what you use β typically a few cents per session. Voice replies use ElevenLabs, which has a free tier (~10 min/month) and paid plans. There is no monthly fee for WhosWhoZoo itself.
Commands
Type / in the chat input to see autocomplete suggestions. All searches are fuzzy β you don't need exact names.

Header Controls
β‘
Haiku / Sonnet
Tap to switch AI model. Haiku is fast and cheap. Sonnet is smarter for complex tasks.
π
Copy chat
Copies the full conversation to clipboard with You / WhosWhoZoo labels β useful for sharing or debugging.
π
Voice mode
Full conversation mode β speak in, hear the response. After speaking, a Send button appears β tap it (or the orb) to fire. Tap β to exit. Hold the orb to enter journal dictation mode.
β
Settings
Update your Worker URL, change your passphrase, or sign out. Access key is only needed during initial setup or passphrase reset.
πΎ
cached badge
Appears when Claude's memory context was served from cache β faster and cheaper than a full reload.
π¦
Archive
Tap to include archive files in chat and search. Tap again to turn off. Cold storage is separate β use /recall to open it.
π
Cold Storage
Shows how many records are in cold storage. Tap to browse them all. When a cold storage record is loaded for chat, a purple bar appears above the input β tap clear to remove it.
Tips
Just ask naturally. You don't need commands for most things. "Who is Adam?" or "what do I know about the PTMM project?" work as plain questions.
Single words trigger tag search. Type a single word or phrase with no verb and the app searches all records for that tag exhaustively before answering.
Add a file scope to any search. /edit people adam narrows to people.md. /archive loops archives from loops.md only.
Archive keeps Claude fast. Move stale records to archive. They're still searchable with the π¦ Archive toggle on β just not loaded in every chat message.
Voice skips URLs and code. In conversation mode, links say "see link in chat" and code says "see code in chat" β the full content is still in the chat bubble.
/r is your reset valve. If a conversation goes sideways, /r clears context without losing your memory files.
Bring cold storage records into chat. Use /recall [name] to find a cold storage record, then tap "Use in chat" β a purple bar appears above the input confirming the record is loaded. Claude will see it in every message until you tap clear.
