Nothing intuitive about it. Cannot create a simple outline without having to mess with icons that don’t respond.
Personal use is free but limited to 3 notebooks.Kaleo

Update Apr 2023
After a continued trip down some other PKM rabbit holes I have come back again to see how Hypernotes is coming along .. and it looks really good with some improved functionality whist retaining the clear simplicity in the UX.
After having worked with some other graph views, for me Hypernotes nails it. To be able to select 2 nodes and have the view indicate paths between them using the focus and ‘depth of field’ type functions i can gain some useful insights that might not ordinarily have seen.
Offline use works just as well as online and the mobile app works really well and allows by to simply capture journal notes or specific standalone note if i want.
I think there are still a few functional advancements that would really add the final shine for me, but overall I am impressed and think I will now make the move over and see where i get to. Uprating to 5* due to the ongoing improvements and the great direction Hypernotes is taking
————————
I took a look at hypernotes several months back and thought it was nice but at the time I was more hung up on some of the other more developed note taking and PKM apps. Recently I revisited and spent more time on it and am very glad I did .. it really is rather good with the apparent simplicity fronting a very capable and usable app. Hypernotes brings UI clarity where many others bring clutter. It seems reliable fast and capable with great backlinking, IOS friendly, and a very powerful knowledge graph (need to spend a little time with it to get the best out of it). I have to say that I am leaning toward it becoming my PKM tool of choice (I don’t need many of the use-once-every-year bells and whistles that many other apps offer) Also the rate of refinement seems to be good. Free version is probably adequate for most personal use, the next tier up brings more but at a significant annual cost. Very much worth a try.Show lessAnotherFineMess

Hi! Thank you for the five-star review! We appreciate it! Please don't hesitate to reach out to us via service@zenkit.com in case you have any further questions or suggestions for improvementThis app saved my life
I wish it were more popular. I’ve never used a knowledge-graph style note system before but last year I used Hypernotes to map my own personality and behaviors and life-style choices to figure out exactly why I kept messing up in life. The answer: ADHD/autism/bipolar disorder. To be clear, I did NOT self diagnose with this tool, I got the real professional help I sorely needed but using this tool I was able to understand myself like better than ever using a divergent thinking system that worked with my brain better than any other note taking system. So when I finally did realize my brain wasn’t normal everything just sort of clicked and I experienced ego death. I suddenly knew I wasn’t different because I was broken (and thus, fixable), but rather I was broken because I was different (and thus fixable but not by neurotypical standards).
TLDR this app is great for divergent brains, I hope to see the concept take off in the future if not by these developers then by someone else, I don’t want to see the torch dieShow lessthe9thlion

Thank you! Please don't hesitate to send any questions or feedback to us via service@zenkit.com.The paper and pen I needed
Love the concept of bidirectional linking building a personal knowledge system. Tried a few options before settling on Hypernotes, and found it to be the most frictionless.
The app itself is simple, fast and feature rich allowing me to quickly write down those shower thoughts I would often forget. In the past I would use bits of paper or random notebooks that would get lost. Or I’d use an app but again the notes would simply merge into countless others.
Using blocks within Hypernotes I can note down the idea, but also expand and link it in was that make it easy to recall and understand. Really happy.Show lessleejacksondev

Thank you very much for your kind and detailed feedback! Please don't hesitate to ping us via service@zenkit.com with any questions, feedback or suggestions for improvement.Very Powerful Tool!!
This is definitely one of my favorite apps. It’s a very powerful tool that allows me to map out my ideas and visually see how everything is connected. If you’re even a little technically inclined you should be able to learn to use this tool.
One thing I would love to see is additional color or shape options for the nodes. This way the user can quickly identify key nodes or even color code entire sections.
I look forward to future releases!Show lessAlden0620

We are looking forward to hearing from you!I don’t get it
The app is pretty good. Confusing on some parts and even though I look for answers still foggy. Ex. If I have a page labeled as page 2 but I want it to be page 1 how do I do that? Over all, the gripe is in the price plans. I’m all for supporting developers I like but man, i’m just one person, no team, no business just want it for notes. And granted the app is free to some extent. But thats the problem. I don’t need another subscription, this idea of leeching peoples money is getting old. Apple does the same thing. Hey dude, you want extra iCloud storage? Well you can’t buy it, you have to rent it. Same thing with this app. All I want is two more notebooks. But I can’t just buy two extra notebooks I have to rent them…dumb. Apart from that, the app is solid.Show lessCreditcard1711

Hi! Thank you so much for your feedback. We really appreciate it! If you have any other feedback for us please feel free to send it to service@zenkit.com. As for the notebook pages: If you view them in the table you can swap them around using drag and drop. Looking forward to hearing from you!Some killer features, but missing some of the basics
I love the fact that your knowledge is organised into volumes that look like books. It makes me a lot more focused in how I write notes in this app. Please keep it like that. Love the graph and table views too. However, there’s crucial stuff missing here:
1. No undo button. How it shipped without one is beyond me.
2. No ability to export. JSON is practically useless. And PDF is only good for a finished product. No ability to select and copy everything in the note either. This product is only worth paying for if you can export to markdown or copy the text, which you can’t.
3. Task list doesn’t indicate which note the task belongs to
It’ll be a good product when it’s finished (one of the best). But for now, I consider it only half baked.Show lessHorabiscus

Thank you so much for your feedback, we really appreciate it! Your suggestions have been sent to our dev team and we'll see if we can build some of them in. The third point should be resolved now with the "Pages" field at the bottom of any open task. Tapping on the page will bring you to the page the task is related to.
