![]() ![]() You can connect MarginNote with Evernote to access all your notes, mind maps, and outlines even if you're on the go. ![]() Try tapping Share > Add to Card Deck to generate a flashcard based on your notes for studying various concepts. The latter panel lets you make connections between different ideas. The former becomes useful when you want to brush up the important concepts. The Study mode has both outline and mind-map views. In the note-editing card, you can add comments with your voice, photos, and tags. For each selection, MarginNote opens the editing menu where you get to select a color, create note, assign a tag, send to the mindmap panel, and so on. The book content and notes are on the same window. Finally, tap the Share button to share your annotations as a DOCX file. And if you repeat the above procedure across multiple documents, you can start building connections. You can pinch or shrink the material to compare different sections. As you start building a collection, you can move the annotations anywhere in the workspace or drag to group them. Tap the excerpt and choose Comment from the popup menu to add a note. Highlight a sentence and tap AutoExcerpt, then LiquidText will pull the excerpt to your workspace. This workspace is the area where you can keep excerpts, notes, and images. Upon opening the document, you'll see the document navigation panel, viewer in the middle, and a workspace at the right. Start by importing documents from either the Files app or built-in web browser. It streamlines the entire process of active reading, from making annotations, extracting highlights, taking notes, connecting notes with documents, and building a connection. Many other smaller productivity apps for Mac (Karabiner, Keyboard Maestro, Atext, Launchbar – these are things that give me flow) but the above are the key knowledge tools.LiquidText is a PDF viewer designed for non-linear reading. I’ve bent its mental model slightly, but I’m loath to switch to another task manager. Roam for daily writing (unpaid grandfather tier). Good for curated content, not good for serendipity. Wiki-style knowledge base in Notion (paid). The tool is good, but like all these things requires effort. I export some pages from Pocket into Devonthink Pro (paid). No real feature development and the UI is poorer than 4 years ago. No features for piling and grouping, or seeing an overview by day or week. ![]() Pinboard also paid – for the full-text archive.īut I have over 24000 unread Pocket articles, and it continues to grow. I export all archived Pocket links to Pinboard via IFTTT. Here’s an overview video of how it works: I’d pay for that in a heartbeat, and it doesn’t seem far off from what you’re already doing. So, if you could make your collections be a “self-maintaining, searchable, auto-hierarchy of snapshotted and annotated pages, able to be viewed through a slick, decluttered reader interface, integrated with existing Task and Reference Managers”, that would be absolutely killer. This can be remedied by turning off the auto-saving feature in Memex, but then you have to manually save each window AND make AND maintain the hierarchies, which would be very slow. The goal is to have a searchable database of useful info, not everything you’ve ever seen - might as well just use Google for that. The manual effort is just dragging a few things around and then naming the folders.ĩ0+% of pages I visit are “trash” so I have no desire/need to clutter my hierarchy/database with them. The auto-hierarchies in Tabs Outliner actually closely resemble how I would organize them in Memex Collections, given that they follow my browsing/research patterns. It seems like Memex is aiming for a very similar thing (and much more), but I don’t see the auto-hierarchy feature as part of the plans yet - simply a general searchable, “offline personalized Google” database, with manually created hierarchies. I have thousands of tabs saved in a semi-organized hierarchy structure and am starting to clean it up now to better match my OneNote knowledge structure, from which my TickTick project planning/task management will spring as well. I suppose its just a visual bookmark manager with hierarchies and folder names, but what I love is that it automatically creates the hierarchies from all tabs/pages that you open in each window (which are typically pretty logical and related given how they are created by my browsing/research patterns) and then discards pages as I close the tabs (deciding they aren’t worthwhile), and updates them as I drag tabs around to different windows/folders. Another “app” that I use is the chrome extension Tabs Outliner. ![]()
