The 8 Best Visual Note Apps - Linked Notes meet Mindmaps

Tools like Mindmap and Infinite Canvas are very useful for organising large amounts of information. Now there is a new generation of note apps that combine these tools with bi-directional linking and flashcard. Most of them are young products and still round around the edges, but there's a lot of potential in them! If you've tried popular note-taking apps like Obsidian, Notion and Logseq already, these might be the next ones to try! Some of them are perfect for Zettelkasten method or atomic note-taking method.

Thank you so much Shu Omi for showcasing these Infinite Canvas tools. Appreciate the efforts !! 👍. Really like Heptabase features, but quite pricey at the moment. 🙂

EXCELLENT VIDEO MY FRIEND, YOU SAVE ME A LOT OF TIME TY!

[Jegor]

Thank you for sharing, great video. Just a question in regards of leaving out milanote, do you not consider it to be a note-taking app or what was the process of that decision?

[kreatywny]

What do you recomend if I want draw complicated map with many connection and want to analyze connections between elements. Something like investigation board in detective office wall😊

[caitiesith]

I wish you'd explained the advantage or key features these offer compared to other note-taking apps - I don't really understand why someone would feel like switching to them or what makes them different to a standard notes app. They look really similar in functionality.

[Xwodsarecool]

this man talks about so many damn note apps, the brother has me using 30 different ones on a daily basis... 😂Answer everyones lingering question, out of all these you can only walk away with one note taking app/productivity assistant... which one is it gonna be and why!?!?

Is there an app that uses a Mind Map like a visual filing system?
as in lets say you can have a note with your favourite movies, but each title is a folder where you can store an actual file.

What's the best Open Source version of that ❓
I see "free trial" and "discount" and I don't want to even watch it. 👎

[RameshKumar-ngnf]

This guy uses so many multiple apps for notes.
Its always adviced to keep notes in one single app instead of keeping notes in bits and pieces in multiple apps.

[Lostbutnotfrgotten]
