START WITH WHAT MATTERS TO YOU
One library.
Many ways to use it.
You do not need a perfect system to begin. Bring a book, a document, a question, or a half-formed idea.
The researcher
Keep the question and the evidence close.
Work from source passages, develop questions, and keep a route back to the original.
Watch a question take shapeThe writer
Give your next draft a place to begin.
Gather working notes, shape an outline, and find the threads that belong together.
Watch a working notebookThe student
Build understanding, one connection at a time.
Organize class notes by subject, use tags across notebooks, and map a difficult idea.
Watch connected diagramsThe project planner
Move from “what if” to “what next.”
Keep a project’s documents, thinking, and visual plan within the same library.
Watch a project cabinetThe everyday thinker
Make room for all the things you notice.
A garden plan, a travel idea, a question from a book. Start with a note and follow it.
Watch an idea developKEEP THE CONTEXT
Your thinking.
With a way back.
A note is more useful when you can see where it came from. Follow a passage into a question, open the original, and keep developing your response.
Connections stay visible across your notes and diagrams. The source’s words and your interpretation each have their place.
Watch a source become a questionA question, its source, and your own response—in the same workspace.
A LIBRARY THAT BELONGS TO YOU
Build it slowly.
Keep it yours.
Your knowledge is something you build over time. Oravelle is designed to give you a lasting place for it.
One purchase. Your version 1.
No Oravelle subscription. Pricing, release timing, and the update policy will be announced before launch.
Local at heart.
Your library lives on your device. Read and write offline, with optional cloud-folder synchronization when you choose it.
Your tools. Your choices.
Export notes and library material. Use your own AI through a reviewed request-and-response workflow, or configure an optional API connection. Provider charges are separate.
A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT WONDER
Before you
make yourself at home.
Do I need ebook files to use the Bookshelves?
No. Add a book by title and keep a rating, reading status, date finished, and review. If you add a supported book file later, the existing record can keep its details and review.
Can I bring my existing notes and documents?
Import supported documents such as Markdown, text, PDF, EPUB, and Word. Paste content into an editable note when you want to keep writing. Importing a file as a source and creating an editable note are different workflows; whole-vault migration is not advertised as a one-click feature.
Does Oravelle automatically fact-check everything?
No. Source links and saved research assessments help you examine a claim and record the evidence. A saved verdict reflects a review; importing a document does not automatically verify it.
Is AI required?
No. Reading, notes, organization, and diagrams do not require an AI subscription. Optional AI workflows let you use your own assistant or an API connection you configure.
What about my phone or tablet?
Mobile companion builds are in development alongside the desktop app. These walkthroughs show the desktop interface. Release platforms and device requirements will be confirmed before launch; development builds do not establish final availability or feature parity.
Can I buy or download it today?
This is a local website preview for an app in development. The version 1 price, release date, included updates, and future major-version policy have not been announced. Purchase and email signup are not connected in this preview.
