Closed beta
Connect what you know with who you know.
And put it into the Rucksack.
After a conversation, talk for half a minute. Rucksack turns what you said into facts about the people in it — and every fact links back to your recording.
How it works
Thirty seconds after the conversation
-
Say what mattered
Open Rucksack on your phone and talk: who you met, what they told you, what comes next. Or type, if you can’t talk right now.
-
It sorts it by person
Rucksack transcribes the note, recognises the people, places and organisations in it, and files each fact under the right one.
-
It’s there next time
Before you meet again, open their page. Every fact links back to the recording it came from.
What’s different
Three things it takes seriously
Your filter is the feature
Rucksack doesn’t record your meetings. You say what was worth keeping, so what it stores is signal — not an hour of small talk.
It asks instead of guessing
When a name could mean two people, Rucksack asks which one you meant and remembers the answer. A fact filed under the wrong person is worse than no fact.
Every fact has a source
Tap a fact and play the recording it came from. You can always check what you actually said.

Who it’s for
For people whose work runs on relationships
If what you know about people is part of how you work — clients, candidates, investors, collaborators — and it lives in your head or in notes you never quite write, Rucksack is built for you.
Frequently asked questions
What is Rucksack?
A personal CRM you talk to. After a conversation you speak for half a minute, and Rucksack files what mattered under the people you mentioned, with the recording behind every fact.
Is it a meeting recorder?
No. You talk to Rucksack after a conversation, not during it, and say what was worth keeping.
What does Rucksack cost?
Nothing during the closed beta, and there is no way to pay yet. Afterwards the plan is that Rucksack stays free to use and you pay a fee for usage. The details are not set.
Which languages does Rucksack understand?
You can speak German or English, and the language is detected automatically. The app interface is in English.
