Pinning

When working on a few things concurrently, you can pin up those noteards to the side of your screen, so you never lose track for idea or a thought. Great for when you have a task list you are working through, or keeping together a collection of ideas that you are actively thinking about.

Graph View

updated

Visualize your knowledge in 2D and 3D with our Graph View. You can use the Graph View to explore your knowledge in a more visual way, or to find connections between your notes. You can also use the Graph View to quickly navigate to a note by clicking on it.

Need more convincing? Here's a few more reasons why you should give Supernotes a go...

Custom Collections

new

We have a range of collections to help you organise your notes, such as the Tasks and Thoughts collections. But we know that everyone works differently, so we've also added the ability to create your own custom collections. You can add any notecard to a collection, and then quickly navigate to that collection from the sidebar.

Private & Secure

Notes are personal and we take privacy very seriously. On Supernotes your data is always encrypted in transit (forced SSL) and encrypted at rest (AES-256). Our team will never read or access your note content, unless we have received your express permission during a customer support interaction. Read our full security policy here.

Universal Search

Can't remember which folder you put that recipe from a year ago? That's a thing of the past. Use the Universal Search, to look through all your notecards and find what you are looking for in seconds. You can also use the Universal Search for common commands such as switching between different views, toggle night mode and more!

Works out of the Box

Get started immediately, everything just works as you expect. We've carefully selected all the most important features so you can focus on writing and thinking. There's no heavy customisation or setup required, just start typing and you're good to go.

Targeted Dates

Sometimes you want a note to appear on a certain day, whether it's a meeting or a trip or a past event. Quickly move a card by dragging and dropping it onto the calendar in the sidebar or editing the Targeted date with the more options.

API & Integrations

Integrate Supernotes with your favourite apps, with Raycast, Zapier and IFTTT support in the works. You can also create some webhooks with Supernotes as well to ping your favourite apps like Slack and Discord.

Research Backed

We have spent countless hours researching the best techniques to boost knowledge retention. That's why we introduced things like our 1200 character soft limit – this helps you break down your knowledge into more manageable, singular ideas, rather than being stuck in an endless document. We also write helpful producitivity articles on our blog so definitely check them out.

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our community says...

“Within no time I had cards setup for each topic/project I want to keep track of, and had them organised as I wanted them.”

Avinash

“Supernotes is exceptional for organization. I can have hierarchy AND backlinks AND good UX ... The notecard format is amazing. It makes me think atomically.”

Nikita

“The new right-hand pane, the UI, the keyboard shortcuts, the 1200 character limit, it being perfect for a zettelkasten, the export to markdown and PDF, embedding pictures. As a package, Supernotes is amazing.”

Brendan

Liam

Eliza

switched from Apple Notes

“Everything! I have a personal, family and work space. I love the card concept and note boards concept for structure.”

Jamie

switched from Apple Notes

“I have checklists of what needs to be revised, and then notecards for every subsection of topics, my degree is in health and literally everything is connected so it serves almost as a mind map for me. I used to use just regular apple notes and I cant imagine still doing this. The design is BEAUTIFUL okay. Feels like an actual home for my notes.”

Teak

switched from Apple Notes

“When I suddenly get an idea, I'll make a rough draft in Supernotes and then refine it. The concept of card writing; the limited word count; the association with the calendar so that I can see exactly how many cards have been written for that day; all of these are features I really like.”

Wondering why members of the best universities and organisations trust Supernotes?

Thoughts Collection

When you are in a rush you might write down some ideas / reminders in your notes app. Previously you might have found those ideas get lost in an abundance of other notes. So we created the Thoughts collection to solve this. In the Thoughts collection you can find those lonely notes without a title, content or links to the rest of of your knowledge base.

Email to Supernotes

Working from your email inbox? No problem. You can email new ideas or forward existing ones to Supernotes. We'll automatically create a new notecard for you and it'll be waiting for you when you next log in.

Keyboard Controls

There's no finicky button to create a new note. If you have a new thought, just start typing on your keyboard and a new card will magically appear. We have a large range of keyboard controls, so you navigate, edit and use Supernotes solely on your keyboard.

Multi Selection

Select multiple notecards a time and quickly modify their color, tags and more. Great for when you want to quickly categorise a bunch of notes or move them to a different parent card.

Colors

Brighten up your notes with 7 different colors to choose from. Colors are not just for aesthetics – you can filter your notecards by color. Use traffic-light colors to determine how well you know a notecard, or for categorising different types of card! When used in combination with tagging, the opportunities are endless.

On All Your Devices

Don't let your knowledge get tied down to a single place, whether it's on your laptop or in paper folders. We have dedicated mobile, desktop and web apps for iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux and the Web, meaning you can access it from pretty much any internet-enabled device, small or big, from a friend's iPhone or iPad to your grandad's PC.
