We learn better when we write. Putting an idea in our own words forces us to understand it. Connecting it to other ideas helps it last. MyZettel is a canvas for that work. Each thought gets its own short note. Related notes sit near each other. Links come as you write. Over time, the canvas becomes a map of what you understand. - An infinite canvas: put notes where they make sense, and move them as your thinking changes. - Links from writing: link a note while you write. Every link shows which way it goes, even to a note far away. - Read in place: open a linked note without leaving the one you are reading. - Note types: keep rough thoughts, your own conclusions, and ideas from a source apart. - Search and a minimap to find any note on a large canvas. - Made for iPhone, iPad and Mac. - Free to use. No sign-up. No third-party servers. MyZettel is inspired by the Zettelkasten method, but you do not need to know it to start. A sample canvas in the app shows how it works.

Keep a note close at hand. Write and format text, choose fonts and alignment, and share your note as text or an image. Import a photo to read its text and QR codes on the device, while retaining the original photo with the note. On supported iOS versions, Appleβs on-device translation can add a translation above your text. Notes are stored on your device, with private iCloud syncing when available and configured. Apple Watch supports reading a note and appending typed or dictated text. Saved notes and earlier local files remain accessible, and save errors stay visible so you can retry without losing your draft. You can choose to display linked images. Loading an image contacts its website, and an enabled preview can load again when you reopen the note.
