Hypernotes by Zenkit

I wish it were more popular. I’ve never used a knowledge-graph style note system before but last year I used Hypernotes to map my own personality and behaviors and life-style choices to figure out exactly why I kept messing up in life. The answer: ADHD/autism/bipolar disorder. To be clear, I did NOT self diagnose with this tool, I got the real professional help I sorely needed but using this tool I was able to understand myself like better than ever using a divergent thinking system that worked with my brain better than any other note taking system. So when I finally did realize my brain wasn’t normal everything just sort of clicked and I experienced ego death. I suddenly knew I wasn’t different because I was broken (and thus, fixable), but rather I was broken because I was different (and thus fixable but not by neurotypical standards). TLDR this app is great for divergent brains, I hope to see the concept take off in the future if not by these developers then by someone else, I don’t want to see the torch die

I love where this app is going! It works really intuitively, especially with the “notebook pages”, searching the notes, cross referencing, and ease to add new info. I can’t wait for it to integrate notes from other apps (I currently use the Notes App), as I can see this working much better. One thing I wish it had (similar to the Notes app) is some sort of checklist feature so that I can check things off on a list as I go through. Not sure if I can hyperlink some notes, but that would be great too!

This app is off to a good start. It’s available for free, the interface is good, and the sync across devices is seamless. It also looks good on all devices. It is missing some basic functionality though. You can’t import or export notes at the moment. I think this was a critical launch mistake. Many of us eh would be interested in this app already have a note app we use (Evernote, Obsidian, Roam, etc.). It would have been nice to be able export notes from those apps (or even Apple Notes) directly into this one. And there are some spots where you try to do something and can’t. For example, there needs to be a better breadcrumb trail across notes. Still, I’ll be keeping my eye on this one as it’s on the right track. However, until it’s able to export or import notes it won’t replace my other note app.
