Jotaid vs Lorem

The more you capture, the harder it gets to see what you know. Jotaid turns notes into connected concepts. A node is one idea, not a whole note — so links run between ideas, not documents. The note-taking methods you already use work out of the box, no plugins needed: Zettelkasten, PARA for organizing by project, and design-thinking card clustering are all built in. WHAT YOU CAN SEE • Concept Nodes — The thread through your notes. One idea, one page. • Trend — When each concept node appeared, grew, and went quiet. • Graph & Matrix — Which concepts go together, and how strongly. • Node Types — Core, Bridge, and Emerging, read from your network. • Link Predictions — Pairs that probably belong together but never met. • Canvas — Arrange cards and let themes form. AI THINKS WITH YOU, NEVER FOR YOU (PRO) AI does the groundwork. The judgment stays yours. • Smart Node & Smart Theme — Propose concepts & groupings. Nothing applies until you tick it. • Theme Summary — Key findings from every note in a theme. • Typed Relations — How co-occurring concepts relate, with the passage behind it. • AI Reading — Your graph and matrix, explained. • MCP Server (Mac) — Ask your AI agent what your notes add up to. Read-only. After unlocking Pro, connect your own AI provider (BYOK). Jotaid runs no AI service. MARKDOWN & APPLE NATIVE Everything you expect from a notes app, and more. • Edit & preview modes, with live syntax highlighting, tables, math, and code • Fast capture: Quick Note, Raycast, PopClip, and the iOS share sheet • Built-in browser for AI chats, side by side with your notes on Mac (no password-manager extensions) • On-device semantic search • Import Markdown files or a whole vault • Markdown export, encrypted backups • Native on Mac and iPhone, with iCloud sync FREE & PRO • Free: the Inbox, no note limit.
