  1. A note-taking tool for networked thought
    A few weeks ago I stumbled upon Roam Research. At first glance it's Just another note-taking tool like Notion and Evernote. But after a few minutes I realized how powerful this type of note-taking could be.

  2. A second brain, for you, forever. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.
    Obsidian Privacy friendly as the data is only stored locally App is closed source though which I don't like No official way to take notes on mobile yet.
