Simple. Private. No apps needed.
Wherrs only shows what you choose to put into words.
Small effort now. Big relief later. Save your future-time.
Life gets busy. Things move. And the little "where did I put that?" searches quietly steal your time and energy.
Wherrz doesn't replace your memory. It gives it somewhere safe to rest. If you can describe a location in plain language, Wherrz can hold onto it for you โ faithfully, without judgement.
Wherrz started as a way to remember file locations โ but it works just as well for real life:
If you can describe it, Wherrz can map it.

Wherrs includes a simple profanity checker for English text. It doesn't block or change anything โ it just informs you if a few common words appear in your input. Think of it as a courtesy heads-up for professional documents.
It only checks English words. It's not scanning your device. It's not checking the internet. It's just a quick text scan in your browser. You can ignore the warnings or adjust your text โ your choice entirely.
Wherrz remembers what you put into words. If something moves and you don't update your map, the map will be wrong.
That's not a flaw. That's how memory works.
No โ it stays in your browser, and you download the HTML file.
No.
Yes โ as many as you like.
Update your notes and generate a fresh file.
Yes โ it's just words and a file you can open anytime.
Wherrs is free forever. If it saved you time or sanity, consider buying me a coffee!
