Write down all you know, so you can wander with no worries.

The OG of backlinking notetaking apps.

Best way to collect and connect your knowledge and ideas.

I've read my internet history, but I am ashamed to say that I had no idea how big a deal bidirectional links are. Roam showing me that was sufficiently big that I bought their true believer plan on principle, to reward them giving me the insight.

It allows for bi-directional linking of notes, which is amazing

I love the simplicity of defaulting to a daily notes page combined with the power of effortless bidirectional linking. Encourages starting with writing instead of starting with categorizing. Organization is unobtrusive and naturally done as you write.

I am still very much in learning mode for this note-taking app, but REALLY like the bidirectional links, ability to reference other notes seamlessly, and overall power of this one make it very tempting. Price is a little high—$15/mo, though I got in early and am on a free plan.

Use it to take daily notes and as a CRM. Starting to use it for Project Management.

It's a game changer. I really feel at home using it and it is starting to feel like my second brain, something I've been looking for, for a while.

Note taking app that lets me focus on writing notes with the purpose on synthesizing thoughts and information.
