Testimonials

“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.”

“Love the design, card layout, somehow the design is easier on the cognitive front. Pulling up related cards are much easier than say Roam, Craft, and other apps.”

“Phenomenal UX, the need for speed and being along for the ride. Lifetimer!”

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

“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.”

“Design! So clean, simple. I like the notecards, so much.”

“Now that my notes are linked, organised and beautifully rendered, they are so much more useful!”

“Supernotes is clean, simple, easy to focus with ... rivals the organisational powers of Evernote”

“Beautiful product design. Endless small little touches!”

“Switching from Google Docs and using Supernotes to organise my case and lecture notes has changed my life!”

“The UI is very aesthetically pleasing and there's continuous innovation with new clinch and functionality.”

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

“The thing that won me over is the Zettelkasten card system philosophy. I love how the cards are linked as child cards, direct links, or tags. It's easy to link up ideas in a way that makes sense.”

“I am a PhD researcher. Personally, I am currently using supernotes as a dump for little snippets of information that I pick up from texts, academic articles, that I derive myself. These includes facts, questions, equations, methods etc. I then can search through them and I write more long-form fleshed out thoughts in Obsidian.
I like how Supernotes forces you into a mindset of small notes that can be easily searched and synthesized into larger notes.”

“① The notecard: it keeps me from being too prolix – and preserves maneuverability (plus it's familiar).
② The mix of vertical hierarchy (parent cards, the tree) with non-hierarchical linking (via bi-directional links + tags) – it makes me a bit panicky if I can't switch between them (i.e, outlines are useful, but only just).
③ Privacy! You're not mining and monetizing my data.
④ I can PDF out of Supernotes into the physical realm when I need tangibility.”

“To be honest, I have made an ample research to find the perfect app and I couldn’t find anything like Supernotes. If I had to pick a thing that grabbed my attention is the cards system because nearly all notetaking apps intended to build a knowledge system are focused in long form writing.
I think that the UI/UX using cards instead of a single page long form text is brilliant.”

“The card based interface is helpful for memorizing key concepts pulled from my notes and other materials, both analogue and digital. Moreover, the program is well designed. I’m in the architecture profession, so I appreciate well-designed apps. I think it’s the most beautiful note taking app out there.”

What apps have you replaced with Supernotes? “Mainly Notion. I feel that Supernotes is better to use for my notes. Especially for quick notes and thoughts. I love that you can customize the menu on the side with only the notes that are relevant to you.”

“Fluid, simple and easy to learn UI. I have been looking for a long time for a decent note taking app with back linking that doesn't feel like I am working with code (Roam Research, Obsidian). I also found the UI on other more popular note taking apps such as Evernote and Notion to be quite overwhelming and takes a significant amount of time to learn.”

“SN reminded me there is value in a good interface. Seeing parents and tags in context, having the ability to quickly filter by them by clicking on them, the simplicity of excluding vs including vs not considering a filter in the search is excellent.”

“Honestly it’s UI and ease of use. I wanted to try Obsidian, but it’s so overwhelming I never added any notes. Supernotes is beautiful and has all the tools I’ll need for a zettelkasten, but not so complicated that I can’t tell up from down or where to put things.”

“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.”

“I'm starting to move all my bookmarks and random notes on my phone (relating to personal interests, work interests, and.. other) to Supernotes so that all my 'info' is in one place. Love it.”

“OneNote turned into a messy dumping ground of unfinished notes/screenshots etc. Pages of unnecessary notes that I didn't need to keep, and it was really hard to find anything. I see Supernotes as more of a long term record of notes I actually want to keep and will refer back to - the beautiful layout prompts me to keep my notes clean and tidy too!”

“Coming from Bear, the amount of code highlighting straight out of the box was a big draw. As well as being cross-platform/available on the web. I also love the Daily collection.”

“Many things:
① Hierarchical aspect.
② Nice UX.
③ Completeness of features: pictures, markdown syntax editing, search.
④ Fast.”

“I'm an executive director for a youth nonprofit. Use notecards for each phone call I make, for ideas, for reference info relating to my job, for quotes I like, for managing relationships with community leaders and donors (people as parent cards and children for each notecard with information related to them), for distilling concepts (i.e. Stoicism), want to start Journaling with it, saving travel ideas, and lots more. It's awesome!”

“I’m an AI researcher and so far I’ve been using Supernotes to keep track of concepts (ideas) from multiple sources. I was initially using Notion, Craft, and some text editors like Bear. But there was something missing.
I needed a way to express ideas that could come in handy in the future without it necessarily being just “notes” and the intuition behind Supernotes felt like it. I’m able to morph ideas into perspectives (of said ideas), as having some relation with other ideas, etc... allowing me to create structures.”

“Mobile and desktop sync. I work between two laptops and a mobile so I love for my PKM to be available wherever I am. A strong web app and native apps where available bundled with sync is a killer feature from my view”

“Interface is the one. I believe I have fallen for Supernotes because of the looks and feel of the platform.”

“Better note taking, organizing and store code on daily basis ... [Supernotes also has] more markdown options, fast.”

“I use it for making research. I am a PhD student and I am trying to use Supernotes for my Zettelkasten method. My PhD is in engineering. The interface… it is beautiful. Also the graph view.”

“Compare to Roam, card is better than outline. Daily collection is better than daily note.”

“A few things: the design, graph view, and the character limit per note. I think Supernotes is the simplest approach I've found to implement a Zettelkasten-esque system and ultimately that's why I subscribed.”

“I love having cards instead of the outliner view. They're helping me to distill my thoughts in small snippets, and they allow me to have a bird's eye view of what I'm working on, especially with the Broadsheet view enabled.”

“Visually I love the layout; it has helped me spacially connect strings of ideas. I am a big fan of the 'parent' and 'child' structures.”

“I love how much lesser of an overhead it is to create notes and connect them compared to Notion. It feels more intuitive, simple, clean and powerful. It encourages to be concise and break things down which I love.”

“Gorgeous design. I’m tired of all these ugly apps where people can customize it with css. They always end up looking like sh***y versions of MySpace pages from 2005. A good looking app is super important to me and Supernotes is beautiful.”

“Prior to [Supernotes] I have been a heavy OneNote, Evernote, Obsidian user ... [Supernotes] is very fast, its also simple”

“Supernotes was the first note-taking environment I saw myself using happily, and at the same time, being able to share with my family. It strikes a balance between expressive power and simplicity that is rare to find.”

“The simplicity. It took me 30 mins to get the hang of adding and organizing cards and I built my personal progress tracking system in an hour. I have autism and ADHD so keeping the barrier to entry low and not too much on the screen is important to me.”

“Supernotes stays true to the original Zettelkasten method, and I think this is the most frictionless tool existing for those wanting to try and start collecting information. The user experience is superb, everything seems to have been thought about.”

“The UI was a big one, but I also loved the ease of adding new notes and adding cards to multiple parents. One thing that really wowed me was the "Tasks" collection – I love that I can add a task to any card and it will be there until it's checked off.”

“100% the "Targeted dates" feature. This is something I've been looking for from other apps and has been the deal-breaker every single time. I thought it didn't exist, and I'm willing to forgive basically anything else about Supernotes because it has this, and does it well.”

“I use Supernotes for personal note-taking, jotting down ideas, recording daily events, and keeping track of people in my life. I enjoy the Graph View and organizing my notes as cards.”

“I feel I can control my ideas better in Supernotes. After using many note-taking apps, the speed is really important factor. The second thing is the minimal design.”

“There are multiple things,
① Card system, I think this is just an awesome way of writing notes that helps me focus on the essentials.
② Community / Support, I really got a lot of help from the founders.
③ Linking, tagging, parenting etc. I love this system in the way it connects my thinking to help me better understand the fundamentals and the relations between them.
④ API since I love programming, It's a great system for me to add on to my notes and my note-taking.”

“I decided to switch to Supernotes because I needed a tool with a simple yet elegant design.
Additionally, I valued the smooth categorization, filtering, and search system that Supernotes offers.
The best feature of the app for me is the ability for a card to have multiple parents. I've dreamed of such a feature for many years and was thrilled when I saw it in Supernotes.”

“My favourite feature is the soft word count limit. It's a non-obvious feature, and it's genius. I found that with other note-taking apps, I would just dump other people's content into the app, and then do nothing with it.
With Supernotes, I find myself only collecting the best nuggets and ideas of what I'm reading. The card-like structure and the word count limit push me to write things in my own words and do my own thinking. So I use it to take notes, record SOPs, and now to write drafts for content I want to publish.”

“Multi-linking is a key to my way of thinking and working; Supernotes offers a unique take on linking which gives me a good insight into my collected brain farts.”

“I love the UI: it's so slick, simple, clean and just easy to work with. I also like the fact that it's very easy to move around and capture thoughts as they come to you via just a keyboard. Don't get me wrong, I love a good mouse, but it's nice to be able to just write and not have to break that mental flow.”

“The open hierarchical layout with multiple viewing options got me in immediately. Also, just how quickly I can go from an idea, to it having a place within a meaningful context, by basically just starting to type isn't something I've seen implemented this well before.”

“I'm working on transferring my recipes, workout logs, and random ideas for work. It's essential for me to have a calendar built into the notes app, Supernotes has it covered.”

“With Supernotes I can easily just focus on each section of my long form writing at a time without dealing with plugins, learning why a plugin or theme is not working, or without dealing with syncing issues or having to learn some code in order to make a system that would help me focus on writing.”

“I like that it [Supernotes] puts new notes into "Thoughts", which encourages me to organize, sort, and tag them. It's like an inbox for notes I need to process, which is really helpful as both a review and to maintain a consistent structure.”

“Focus and design around writing small bits of knowledge and connecting them together. Feels like having a powerful collection of interconnected sticky notes on a whiteboard.”

“Obsidian is awesome to write/collect. But actually reading your notes again is full of friction.Supernotes nailed it so well with this concept of cards (better than a long note, and better than a bullet point like with Roam/Workflowy/LogSeq etc).”

“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.”
