User reviews

Moved to this from Obsidian

I had previously been using Obsidian to maintain a Zettelkasten system. However, I found myself overwhelmed and losing motivation to keep using. I tried this app as a small experiment and I found I actually quite like it. The simplicity is key and the ‘friction’ created by intentionally moving notes around means I feel closer and engaged with my notes. I also appreciate that it is AI-free, so no change or loss of sense of ownership to my thoughts/writing. I also like how I can use on iPhone, iPod and Mac for quick fleeting notes to then become fully-considered permanent notes. It’s early days but I look forward to growing my notes and getting the intellectual benefits to my academic work.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and detailed review, this genuinely made my day! It’s wonderful to hear that the simplicity and intentional friction are working well for you. That balance is something I care deeply about. I hope the app continues to serve you the way you want and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever have suggestions or feedback as your note collection grows!

The Zettelkasten app with potential.

Well-thought-out design, but it needs the following:
1. Implementation with apple shortcuts for quick capture.
2. Reuse labels via autofill.
3. A slightly more robust text editor (mainly for numbered or bullet list).

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your feedback. I’m really glad you’re enjoying it.

Very good app

This app is a great tool for storing miscellaneous information for my Bachelor and memorizing it. It’s super clean and simple.

What would make this app even greater:
- Simple text editor tools for even better notes (bold and italics for instance)
- Latex support; as I study something math-heavy, a lot of my notes are made of formulas and mathematical expressions. Support for Latex would be absolutely heavenly!

That said, I can totally understand if the developer wants to keep the app as barebones as possible to uphold the design choice and focus only on the essential elements: text and memorization.

Thank you so much for your kind words and detailed review. Positive feedback like yours truly makes the work worthwhile. I genuinely appreciate that you respect the app's deliberate focus on simplicity. Nevertheless, your experience matters to me and I have noted your feature suggestions and will look for a way to implement them without compromising that simplicity. Good luck with your studies!

Missing export

Great app, is there a possibility to export the notes in bulk? Would be a great feature, if that gets implemented - 5 stars!

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you for your review and the feature recommendation. I’ve implemented your request. You can now export your notes in bulk, just look for the Export Notes button in settings. Enjoy!

The perfect Zettelkasten app for me.

Very simple and easy to use.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I’m really glad you’re enjoying it.
