Think in branches with Etzly, a visual note-taking app that turns ideas into connected trees. Start with a big thought, then add branches and sub-branches as your thinking grows. Every branch has its own note, so details stay beside the idea they belong to. Use Etzly to: • Organize ideas, projects, research, and goals visually • Move between the full tree and a focused branch • Write rich notes with bold, italic, underline, lists, checklists, and links • Search your tree and jump straight to any thought • Keep work and personal ideas connected without flattening them into one long list Etzly is made for visual thinkers, writers, students, makers, and anyone whose ideas do not fit into a straight line. No account is required. In the current version, your trees, branches, and notes are stored locally on your device. Find the structure in your thinking, keep the context around every idea, and follow each branch where it leads. https://etzly.com/terms/ https://etzly.com/privacy/
