Anyone looking for a powerful note-taking tool for networked thought
About Roam
As easy to use as a document. As powerful as a graph database. Roam helps you organize your research for the long haul. We believe that writing is a tool for thinking. If we can build a tool for helping people write and organize their ideas more effectively, we can help them have better thoughts and solve otherwise intractable problems.

Hypernotes
With Hypernotes you can finally express your knowledge in a natural way – easy to create, easy to expand, and – maybe most importantly – easy for others to understand. Your notes, tutorials, wikis, intranets, books, scripts, articles, research activities – from now on, they have a new home. Everything is connected. So is your knowledge: It forms a network. With Hypernotes you easily create a semantic network of your knowledge. The result? Less text, but more understanding. When your projects get bigger and more successful, you need your team. That’s also true for knowledge bases. Hypernotes has powerful task management features in place: Share and assign writing-related tasks with your colleagues, friends, and family. Some of the most important steps of the content creation process happen not at your desk – but when you are out there, in the real world.
