Hypernotes by Zenkit 4+

Love the concept of bidirectional linking building a personal knowledge system. Tried a few options before settling on Hypernotes, and found it to be the most frictionless.

The app itself is simple, fast and feature rich allowing me to quickly write down those shower thoughts I would often forget. In the past I would use bits of paper or random notebooks that would get lost. Or I’d use an app but again the notes would simply merge into countless others.

Using blocks within Hypernotes I can note down the idea, but also expand and link it in was that make it easy to recall and understand. Really happy.

Thank you very much for your kind and detailed feedback! Please don't hesitate to ping us via service@zenkit.com with any questions, feedback or suggestions for improvement.

Update Apr 2023
After a continued trip down some other PKM rabbit holes I have come back again to see how Hypernotes is coming along .. and it looks really good with some improved functionality whist retaining the clear simplicity in the UX.
After having worked with some other graph views, for me Hypernotes nails it. To be able to select 2 nodes and have the view indicate paths between them using the focus and ‘depth of field’ type functions i can gain some useful insights that might not ordinarily have seen.
Offline use works just as well as online and the mobile app works really well and allows by to simply capture journal notes or specific standalone note if i want.
I think there are still a few functional advancements that would really add the final shine for me, but overall I am impressed and think I will now make the move over and see where i get to. Uprating to 5* due to the ongoing improvements and the great direction Hypernotes is taking
————————
I took a look at hypernotes several months back and thought it was nice but at the time I was more hung up on some of the other more developed note taking and PKM apps. Recently I revisited and spent more time on it and am very glad I did .. it really is rather good with the apparent simplicity fronting a very capable and usable app. Hypernotes brings UI clarity where many others bring clutter. It seems reliable fast and capable with great backlinking, IOS friendly, and a very powerful knowledge graph (need to spend a little time with it to get the best out of it). I have to say that I am leaning toward it becoming my PKM tool of choice (I don’t need many of the use-once-every-year bells and whistles that many other apps offer) Also the rate of refinement seems to be good. Free version is probably adequate for most personal use, the next tier up brings more but at a significant annual cost. Very much worth a try.

Thank you so much for the updated review! We really appreciate it. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any further questions or suggestions for improvement.
