Features

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.

Travelling on a plane? No problem. Supernotes works offline, so you can keep taking notes without any interruptions. Once you're back online, your notes will automatically merge changes and sync across all your devices.

The calendar is at the core of the Supernotes experience. Quickly view which days you've been taking the most notes with heatmap calendar. You can also use the calendar to quickly navigate to a certain day, or drag and drop a notecard onto a day to set it's targeted date.

Every notecard on Supernotes can be tagged. This is great for quickly categorising your knowledge. Once you added a tag to a card, you can click on it to filter the cards in your current view by that tag. Super useful for when you takes notes about the same topic at during different days - such as a series of events or lectures.

Tired of long waiting times and spinning astrolabes? Immediately log onto Supernotes from anywhere and take notes in seconds. We aim for all interactions on Supernotes to be 100ms, that's over three times quicker than the average eye blink.

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!

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.

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 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 to your grandad's PC.

We don't believe in locking you in, 99% of the features are available for free on Supernotes. And if you upgrade for more cards, you get to keep those for forever,* even if you downgrade back to the free plan.*as long as you don't delete them ;)

To help you get started with Supernotes, we have put together a comprehensive help section, including a cheatsheet, in depth documentation and YouTube tutorials. And if you would like some 1:1 help, you can chat to us directly using the in-app messenger. We will get back to you as soon as we can, even on evenings and weekends.

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.

Want to move from your existing system? You can import all your notes from Obsidian, Roam Research, Google Keep, Notion or plain Markdown files. We make sure we preserve all your formatting including bi-directional links between notes!

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.

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.

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.

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 last year – less than a coffee break. In the unlikely event that something does come up, you can always chat with us immediately.

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 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.

Markdown helps you add quickly formatting to plain text, so you can think about what you are writing rather than how to format it. A very limited version has been added to many messaging services due to it's speed. **Bold** – that's markdown. But we've extended it to include maths equations (using a format known as LaTeX), as well as supporting Checklists, Images and YouTube videos too!

Supernotes is based around our unique notecard format which is easy to learn and powerful once your master it. Just like legos you can piece them together to build your own interlinked knowledge database.

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.

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.

Make Supernotes more personal and invite your friends. Once you've added a few, instantly send a card to them privately by dragging and dropping it onto their names. Your friends will receive the cards into their Notifications. Filter cards written by friends to quickly see all the knowledge they have shared with you.

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.

Like to stay up late? We've hand crafted two gorgeous dark themes, which are perfect for those late night study sessions, for when you have to get things done. Supernotes is your knowledge companion 24/7.

It's pretty magical waking up in the morning, checking your Supernotes and reading some knowledge your friends have shared with you. You instantly feel more productive!

We are constantly improving Supernotes for you. We love getting our community involved. Everything new we build is based on the great feedback from our Community Forum. We know that new features don't always create a better experience, so we take care to make sure every update makes Supernotes simpler, faster and more powerful.

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.

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.

We have a simple but powerful workflow for Tasks. Every notecard that has an open tasks will automatically appear in the Tasks Collection for you to review. It's simple and a crowd favourite for getting things done.

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.
