Today we’re staying calm with Zenkit’s launch of Hypernotes which hit #1 of Product of the Day last week.
Zenkit first launched onto Product Hunt in 2016. Rather than separate, non-synchronous kanbans and notes, Zenkit puts a team’s data at the core with tools built around it for a single collaborative platform.
Hypernotes is a new addition to this ecosystem which includes Zenkit Base (project management), ToDo (task management), and Zenchat (“chat + tasks”). The new tool is a knowledge management system with many of the features wiki evangelists love.
When asked about key differentiators, Zenkit CEO Martin Welker replied:
“Compared to Notion we've got the graph, EU servers, & chat functions. Compared to Roam - mobile apps, speed 🏃♀️, graph functions like focus & collapse, & business admin functions 👍”
He also said there are more, but THE main one is that Hypernotes sits within Zenkit’s interconnected suite. This exchange gave us a peek at the potential.

Early adopters also showed excitement for Hypernotes features and UX.
“Really cool note tool, with top UX! I recommend.” - Dylan Deberge
“Uhhh a knowledge graph... Haven't seen that before. Smart move! 🤓 " - Felix Marmann
If yesterday's productivity tools didn’t provide relief, maybe you’ll get zen today from this platform?
Current projects from other PIFs include one to deliver benefits faster to veterans and a project to ensure that HR AI tools are not unintentionally biased against job seekers with disabilities.

Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI

You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.
Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.
Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.
You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
