  • Does not Support PDF annotation on iPad?

    There are tons of PKMs and many have whiteboard options. And many of those have iPad apps. PDF annotation is the main feature that differentiates them from competitors in PKM space but they aren’t prioritizing it for the iPad despite it being stated as what they are working on in their roadmap for a while now. iPads have styluses. That’s a large part of why people use them. Heptabase should have spent more time on the app before shipping it. It should at least have had their defining value proposition in it and then gone on the fix bugs.

  • Daily Journal + Notion + Whiteboard

    Love this app. Finally a daily journal style that allows me to write my most up to date thoughts, but also connect with previous data. I know I’m not maximizing the potential of this app, but just the journal + notion features does wonders for mental clarity/brain dumping. Cards are also helpful to create updates you can reference. Looking forward to the development over time. Thank you.

  • One of a kind research tool

    The design of Heptabase has been very focused from the ground up on solving challenges that arise in the workflows of research and centralizing many sources of information into a workspace where they can be used to document and compile thought processes, notes, and ideas. At a first glance, it may seem to have some features that are similar to other apps like Notion or Obsidian, but this accomplishes things that the others either cannot do or Heptabase does it without the friction of using some of the other tools, which allows for a flow of research and thoughts that is hard to get elsewhere. I’m currently using it to research multiple different fields that I am new to, and the workflow that is possible here is making this seamless and is expediting the process. The iPhone app is a work in progress but the development team makes rapid progress on both the desktop and mobile versions of the software.

  • Best app except one thing

    Incredible app incredible service Remely fast updates. Four stars will change to five when the iOS apps will allow you to drag and re-order cards on the board. As of right now with the iOS apps, you could just make cards but you can’t place them same with the iPad apps. Otherwise, this is my favorite software.

  • 加油⛽需要提高性能

    优先级第一是性能啊,现在打开就很卡,可用性不高
  • iPad app is virtually useless

    I love the Mac app and would love to move my workflow entirely to Heptabase from liquid text, but the I am unable to do so until I am capable of doing any real work on my iPad. The inability to edit the whiteboard or interact with pdfs in any meaningful way beyond reading on iPad, a form factor that lends itself so well to markup and spatial organization of notes, particularly when the Mac ui would lend itself so well to a touch interface, causes enough friction that Heptabase just isn’t viable at this point, what feels like a huge missed opportunity. I hope to see this functionality added in the future so I can actually rely on what is genuinely an amazing tool.

  • Like Notion With Mindmap

    Phenomenal personal knowledge management platform.

    Notion is great for teams but for personal projects Heptabase wins due to it’s ability to “think in a graph”.

    I’ve been waiting for something like this for years. There’s real value here. It’s not just another notekeeping app.
  • My second brain!

    I’ve been using Heptabase desktop software for couple of months. It makes me happy with taking notes, helping me organize the info and develop a logical knowledge-net super efficiently when I am learning a new subject. The new mobile app is also great. I love the simple but efficient features for taking notes on the mobile and the seamless sync between the app and software.

  • BEST NOTES APP

    I have tried many note-taking apps in the past. Started with Notability, then Agenda, tried Scrintal for a bit, then got into Notion (heavy), Obsidian came and went, and MiraNote was great for visual learning, but nothing really stuck…until Heptabase! It’s obvious to see I got sucked in to the shiny object syndrome when it came to choosing a notes app that worked for me. Why Heptabase stuck is because its easy to visualize what I’m trying to learn while also feeling free to capture everything that’s important to me. It’s just EASY. The learning curve is not too steep. And, I’m finding I’m retaining more of the information I research and write about. If you’re looking for an all-inclusive, one stop shop note taking app, you’ve found it. Would love to see more AI integration but otherwise I’m enjoying it!

    *I know it may sound like they paid me to write this, but promise you it’s just that good! TRUST.*
