Keep what you learn. Find it again.
Reading notes, research, screenshots and PDFs in one searchable list — linked the way you think, found even when you forget the exact word.
Highlights in a reading app, PDFs in a downloads folder, screenshots in the camera roll, notes in three places. The knowledge is all there. Finding it is the problem.
- Notes that nest.A book, its chapters, the quotes and your take, all in one branch you can fold away.
- Files next to notes.Drop the PDF or the screenshot under the note it belongs to. The text inside becomes searchable.
- Link ideas.Type [[ to link to any note. Every note shows what links back to it.
- Search by meaning.Find things even when you do not remember the words you used.
One search across everything.
Notes, to-dos, file names, and the text inside PDFs and photos, in one box. Results show their path, so you know which of your three “ideas” notes it found.
⌘K anywhere. PDF text is read on your device; describing photos is optional and off by default.
Connected, not filed.
Link a quote to the argument it supports, a paper to the project it informs. Later, from either end, the other is one click away.
Backlinks are one click away in any item’s menu.
