See the connections. Organize the evidence. Build the bigger picture. Digital Strings is a visual evidence and information-mapping app designed to help you organize complex information and understand how individual pieces connect. Create interactive evidence boards where photos, documents, notes, and other information can be positioned freely and connected using digital strings. Whether you're organizing research, examining a complex situation, developing a story, or simply trying to make sense of related information, Digital Strings gives you a flexible workspace for putting the pieces together. BUILD YOUR BOARD Start with a blank workspace and arrange information in a way that makes sense to you. Digital Strings gives you the freedom of a physical evidence board without being limited by the size of a wall or whiteboard. CONNECT THE DOTS Create visual connections between items using strings. Use those connections to represent relationships, follow leads, identify patterns, or simply show how different pieces of information relate to one another. ORGANIZE YOUR EVIDENCE Add photos, documents, and notes directly to your board. Move and arrange items freely as your understanding of the information evolves. WORK YOUR WAY Digital Strings can be useful for a variety of projects, including: - Research and information analysis - Case and evidence organization - Cybersecurity and incident analysis - Story and plot development - Journalism and investigative research - Academic projects - Relationship and connection mapping - Complex brainstorming YOUR DIGITAL EVIDENCE BOARD Traditional evidence boards are physical, difficult to reorganize, and limited by available space. Digital Strings brings that familiar visual approach to your Apple devices, giving you a portable workspace that can evolve alongside your investigation, research, or project. Sometimes the individual pieces don't tell the whole story. Digital Strings helps you connect them.
