Pieces

Pieces now presents itself as a memory layer across everyday work, rather than only a developer snippet tool. It suits people who need to recover the context behind a decision or prepare a recap from recent activity. Review capture settings first, including focused applications, clipboard access and optional audio. A remembered fragment can help locate evidence, but it should not replace checking the original message or file.

A practical workflow

1. Review capture permissions and exclude inappropriate sources.
2. Let the app collect a small permitted work session.
3. Ask a recall question scoped to its time and topic.
4. Verify the referenced activity before sharing a recap.

Illustrative input

This example describes a task, not a tested output. Adjust the source material and settings to your own situation.

Summarize the decisions from my permitted project work this morning, and separate a confirmed decision from an unresolved idea.

Result check: Compare the recap with original messages or files and remove sensitive or incidental information.

Access and alternatives

Current Pieces plans are paid per user after a card-required trial. Pro and enterprise differ in organizational controls and approved providers. Confirm device requirements, capture settings, model processing and retention before rollout. Old descriptions of a permanent free developer plan do not describe the current reviewed offering.

Choose another workflow when its emphasis fits better: Granola for a meeting-focused note and recall workflow; Mem for a different knowledge-and-note workspace.
