Nodebook
Read full descriptionHide full description
Nodebook combines a document reader with an infinite mind map. Highlight a passage in a PDF, EPUB, video, audio file or web page, and it appears on your canvas as a node, linked to the exact place it came from. There is nothing to set up. You read, you select a passage, you choose a colour ā and the map builds itself. For students, researchers, writers and teachers working with more sources than anyone can keep in their head. READ EVERY FORMAT Ā· Free ⢠Open PDFs, EPUBs, text files and imported web pages, as well as video and audio. ⢠Read continuously or page by page, with chapters and bookmarks. ⢠Every document reopens exactly where you left it. ⢠Documents live on your device. ANNOTATE THE PAGE Ā· Free ⢠Built-in OCR reads scanned books word by word in 12 languages, so a scan highlights like any PDF. ⢠Select an equation, handwritten or printed, and Nodebook renders it as LaTeX. ⢠Write, underline and draw on the page with a stylus, finger or mouse. ⢠Crop any part of a page ā diagram, table, photo ā and send it to the map. ⢠Insert a notepad mid-page: the PDF opens up for a comment that stays attached to that paragraph. ⢠Six highlight colours let you follow six separate threads. BUILD THE MAP Ā· Nodebook Plus ⢠An infinite canvas with no templates and no limit on nodes or depth. ⢠Drag a single node or a whole branch to reorganise your thinking. ⢠Drop one node onto another to merge them, and separate them later. ⢠Set snippets aside in the drawer, and keep a mini-map in view as you read. ⢠Export the map as a PDF or a FreeMind file, and the outline as a Word document. ⢠Back everything up into one .nodebook file and pick what to restore. OUTLINE AND SEARCH Ā· Nodebook Plus ⢠View the same map as a classic indented outline, and edit titles and text in it. ⢠Search the full text of every snippet, filter by tag or colour, and retag or recolour in bulk. CONNECT YOUR NOTES Ā· Nodebook Plus ⢠Create wiki-links between notes: start typing a title and Nodebook suggests matches. ⢠Click one and a preview shows you the target without losing your place. REVISE WITH FLASHCARDS Ā· Nodebook Plus ⢠Turn any snippet into a flashcard and review it with spaced repetition. ⢠Group cards by area, tag or source, or build your own sets. WRITE YOUR OWN DOCUMENTS Ā· Nodebook Plus ⢠A rich-text editor with headings, lists and quotations. ⢠Draw vector diagrams inside the text, erase single strokes and undo freely. WORK TOGETHER Ā· Nodebook Max ⢠Share a project as a viewer or an editor, and watch the other person's highlights appear live as you work. ⢠Send a file to another account with all your highlights and drawings intact. ⢠Every project keeps a version history with dates and authors, and restores to any point. PLANS ⢠Nodebook is free to install, with the reader and its annotation tools included. ⢠Buy Nodebook Plus once ā $39.99 ā for full offline functionality, including mind maps creating and editing, flashcards and more. ⢠Subscribe to Nodebook Max for the cloud: sync across your devices, collaboration and version history. $8.99 a month, or $89.99 a year.

The clearest difference is device support: Nodebook at 3 against Yeliner's 1. Nodebook also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
