Research with context

A timeline that helps you ask the next question.

Each part of a case can connect the people, places, events, and saved material that matter at that moment. Useful terms become plain “Search with” choices for focused podcast, blog, website, and confirmed-source searches.

Clear source boundaries

The source stays with its publisher.

Websites open outside Almost Solved. Podcast episodes open in Apple Podcasts. Almost Solved keeps the link, useful metadata, and the note you choose to write—not third-party article bodies, podcast transcripts, copied posts, or hosted audio.

Almost Solved organizes your research. It does not replace the original source or decide what happened for you.

Private, practical research

Finding a new case matters. Being able to find it again changes everything.

Build a trail you can retrace, keep your observations beside the sources that prompted them, and return to the exact point where your research left off.
