An Obsidian Alternative

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!

We have a dedicated view for all of the notecards you interact with throughout each day. This is super handy for when you want to jot your thoughts down in the morning, keeping track of events during the day or feel like having a quick review of the all the day's notes in the evening.

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.

Folders are outdated. A file can only belong in one folder. This isn't how our brain works. Sometimes one thought, log or note belongs in multiple places. There are no files and folders on Supernotes. Instead notecards themeselves are nestable i.e. they can belong inside multiple other notecards.

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.

Long-form documents are impractical for storing knowledge. Niklas Luhmann discovered this and that's why he came up with is Zettelkasten system for storing knowledge. He based it on notecards! We've taken it a step further making our notecards collaborative, linkable, nestable and so much more. Wave goodbye to those esoteric folder–file structures we have relied on for 100s of years which just aren't suited to how we think.

If you're fed up with buggy, unreliable note-taking apps, then Supernotes is for you. We are extremely reliable, and had over 99.999% API Uptime in 2022. That means we had less than 5.26 minutes of downtime in a year – less than a coffee break. In the unlikely event that something does come up, you can always chat with us immediately.

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.

That was a quote from one of our users. We liked it so much that we used it as a title. But it's true, we have some award winning design here. We take care of the design for you, so you can focus more time on building your knowledge rather than procrastinating on whether you should use Arial or Times New Roman.

In a few seconds you can create a secure link to one of your notecards. You can then share this link with someone who doesn't have Supernotes – great for sharing recipes, book reviews or ideas with friend. You can edit the permissions of the link to make it read-only or allow your friend to join so you can collaborate together.

Markdown helps you style text quickly, so you can think about what you are writing rather than how to format it. **Bold** – that's markdown. But we've extended it to include checklists, images and maths equations! We've even designed our own typeface, SN Pro, specifically with Markdown in mind.

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.

Many collaborative note-taking tools are built for teams and universites, making the experience less than ideal for individual users. They may offer a free plan for individuals, but their roadmap is dedicated to their paying customers which are large teams. We built and designed Supernotes specifially for you, the individual, giving your greater power and control over your own knowledge.

Too many apps try to solve everything. We try and do one thing as well as we can – that's making your knowledge as useful to you as possible. Our user interface is clean, simple and easy to use so you can focus without any distractions.

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.

Instantly export your notecards as single PDF, JSON or Markdown file(s). Or if you want even greater flexibility use our API to export your notes to any format / service you like!
