A quiet place for what you want, who you love, and who you're becoming.
anansi is the journal you'd write if your journal could see the threads between things.
The Pulse on a Thursday, the week half-written and nothing urgent. Every entry in it is invented.
Pull one thread and the others move.
A goal knows which values it answers to. A task can name the people it is for. A group like Family holds people and tasks at once. Each link you draw is another thread in the same web.
Connections between goals carry a weight, and anansi works out which goals matter most from those weights. You never mark anything important. Tasks drift toward you on their own as their dates come closer.
The mark is Ananse Ntontan, the Adinkra symbol of the spider's web. It stands for wisdom, creativity and the complexity of life.
Talk to it through Claude.
anansi runs its own MCP server. Add it as a connector in Claude Desktop, Claude Code or claude.ai, approve once in your browser, and Claude can read and write your goals, people and Self page.

Before you start.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing. anansi is free, with no paid tier and none planned.
- How do I get an account?
- With an invite code from someone who already has one. Every member has a personal code in their profile to share.
- Who can read what I write?
- You, and whoever administers the server. Traffic is encrypted in transit; the database is not encrypted at rest. The privacy page says exactly what is stored and where.
- Will it nag me?
- No. There are no notifications, no emails and no streaks. It is there when you open it.
- Can I take my data with me?
- Yes. Profile › Backups exports everything as one JSON file, attachments included, and the same file imports back.
- Do I need Claude?
- No. Everything works in the browser. Claude is one more way in.
The life you'd write down,
if you trusted slow software.
It won't pull at you. It will be there when you come back.
