RemNote is the all-in-one workspace for note-taking, learning, organizing thoughts, and growing knowledge. Itโs built for students, creators, organizers, and anyone looking for thinking superpowers.
Hey Product Hunt! ๐
Martin, RemNote co-founder here!
As a student and researcher, I had become increasingly aware of how little I remembered after reading an article or completing a course. I was also frustrated with how hard it was to keep my thoughts, research, and projects organized. I needed a tool to streamline my thinking, connect ideas, and optimize my learning for the long term.
RemNote is that tool - an all-in-one workspace to take notes, organize thoughts, learn anything, and grow knowledge.
- ๐จโ๐ Students & learners use RemNote as a long-term learning platform, mastering content through note-taking, integrated spaced-repetition flashcards, PDF annotation, and knowledge-graphing.
- ๐จโ๐ฌ๏ธ Creators & writers use RemNote as an idea-generation platform, sparking ideas by leveraging references, [[backlinks]], portals, aliases, and graph views.
- ๐จโ๐ง๏ธ Thinkers and organizers use RemNote as a second-brain, staying organized with fast search, templates, to-dos, tags, and other simple-but-powerful organizational features.
This is only the beginning ๐. Just last week, we released PDF annotation and alias features that tightly integrate with the rest of your knowledge base. This enables you to link source materials to your notes, your brain, and back again. Please, message us with feature requests!
We hope youโll check us out! Don't forget to download our desktop and mobile apps (with fully-offline options). We have early-bird pricing in effect for all Product Hunt users, as well. Iโm excited to hear what you all think!

@martin_schneider1 looks promising. i can not see it in the description nor landing page - is there a way to access study materials that someone else added?
@martin_schneider1@vladojsem Yep - there's not a public portal yet, but you can publish a snapshot of notes/cards, and then send a friend a link that allows them to import that into their account. For example, all of our tutorials are written and published within RemNote itself. https://www.remnote.io/documenta...

@martin_schneider1 I think: need to upgrade the to do options, expand the options to rem marked as to-do. I know it is not the purpose from app, but it will help to better organize and keep notes as tasks, remembering us. At all, keep the great job and recurring updates!

I will keep it simple :)
I'm one of the top students of my class... I study I get A's, and then... I forget. This is not education. We should be learning to make connections, to be the best professionals we can be.
This app has the potencial to change your life as a student and a professional.
It's not perfect yet, far from that, but it is already the best.
Try it, give them time for fine tunning some things and change the way you learn forever!

@bruno_miranda4 Making it this far has been a journey but also just the beginning. Thank you for sharing your education story

RemNote is an excellent tool for learning and retaining knowledge. It outpaces its competitors in this space - I know because I've tried them all.
If you're a student or a lifelong learner, this tool will enable you to learn quicker and retain that information for weeks, months, and years to come.
I am not affiliated with RemNote; however, I am excited to find a tool that incorporates cognitive science research on how learning works as a foundation for the product. It also includes Sรถnke Ahrens' principles on making 'smart notes' - this has changed my approach to making notes. These are just some of the core features of this product; there are many more.
I've been a RemNote user for several months, in addition to a great product, the rate of new features getting released by the team is impressive.
@stephenapwales So glad that it's all coming together for you!

Much underhyped tool compared to other products existing today that deal with note-taking, thinking, productivity etc.
I have used the pre-launched version for less than 6 months but am already impressed by how fast RemNote kept progressing during this time. I started using it to learn a new language and manage what I read everyday, now I use it for almost all types of instance that need me to plan, connect ideas and think deeper.
Try it for yourself. You will find at least one area of your life you can use it on and then wonder how you have been doing what you have been doing for so long.
A huge congrats to the team on the launch! Iโm in RemNote literally all day. Aside from my Internet browser, there are 0 apps that I use more than I use RemNote. So excited to see it on PH today!
A Examples Of My Key Use Cases:
- For ideas I want to store in my mind for future use and thinking, I make flash cards out of them (things like mental models, life philosophies, important facts). Everything else goes into my database for retrieval when needed. Think of my flash cards as info Iโd like to store in RAM and the rest in my hard drive
- Whenever I want to brainstorm new ideas, I go find all the ideas that may be relevant to whatever Iโm brainstorming. Letโs say Iโm brainstorming about community building. Iโd pull up my rems for community, moderation, moderator, and others that are relevant. There I can go through every note, reading, conversation Iโve ever logged into RemNote about those topics. Whatever I come up with in this brainstorming session goes back into RemNote and will surface in the future.
Advice For Those Getting Into It:
- Startup simple. There are a lot of features and a ton of tools to learn. It can be overwhelming. It took me at least a month to design my full work flow, get used to all the keyboard shortcuts + powerups + set up all my templates. I didnโt do it all at once. Started with a simple case, just taking notes on conversations, added use cases on top of that as I went.
- If youโre looking to get into building your โSecond Brainโ, Tiago Forte has some good free and paid resources on this. You can look into his PARA structure for how he organizes his database. The book โHow To Take Smart Notesโ is also incredible for learning how to take notes and how to learn - shoutout to UMNiK from the RemNote Discord for that tip
- There are sometimes bugs and issues. Premium does come with automatic backups and there are many ways to manually backup otherwise. Their customer support is also pretty responsive.
Finally, one plug. If you use my link to sign up -> HERE <- you get a free month of premium and Iโm happy to personally show you how Iโd recommend using it and various tricks and structures I picked up. Even if you donโt use that link, still happy to share everything I've picked up - just DM me on Twitter
@sydney_liu_sl Thanks, Sydney! Totally agree with "Start simple" - focusing on that advice one of the biggest things I've learned from talking to users.
I have been using RemNote for studying since June 2020. In retrospect, the program has developed incredibly fast. If there was any kind of issue, the developers always answered within less than 48 hours and fixed bugs as fast as possible.
Before I discovered RemNote, I studied with Anki and took notes with Roam Research. Now I have a place, where I can merge all those features into one program. It's amazing!
A really good product! It can seem complex. But then you dive in it (just like Notion) it's the most powerful app. It's a mix between Roam and Anki.
In fact, the app able you to create flashcards and link multiple pages!
+ the team is active and nice. There's many new features each month and an impressive community on Discord to discover the app.
- no IOS app now, it's coming and Remnote is accessible via safari.
If you're a student, an academic, a compulsive learner, then Remnote IS FOR YOU!
This is a great tool if you want to remember what you learned. I found Remnote a couple months ago and i must admit it's a bit difficult to get a hang of it, but it's so worth it in the end. I can't think of any tool that helped me more with my studying and develop a knowledge base.

@optimusend@colby_sharp The best way to start is "learning by doing". You don't need all the tools that remnote has to offers at first. Take your time and start slowly. There are a lot of tools that you can't find anywhere else.
It is also fascinating at which speed the developers implement new things. You can really see how much they care about their product and also their community. Every months the surprise us with new interesting features.
So it is totally worth it.
Report
@optimusend@colby_sharp There's a guided tutorial section as well, so you can actually learn by doing what the developers have thought best...
ALSO, I've seen people switch to this from Roam, and the community is very supportive, so you can get rid of the complicacies. Hint: Remnote is not very complicated. AND, it's ssoooooo worth it.
Report
@optimusend@colby_sharp it takes time probably, but not much
the community is supportive, you'll get help if u ask..
@optimusend@colby_sharp thanks for taking a loot at RemNote again after some time. Onboarding is something we are always actively trying to improve. What kinds of roadblocks are you facing? I agree with some of the other folks in that learning often happens by trying it out!

I've been using RemNote for six months now and couldn't be happier with its direction. I use it as my personal knowledge tool for autodidactic research, courses, and some parts of my teaching business. Rems are a much more versatile core design than blocks and pages, and the pdf annotation are the best of any I've seen for PC.
I keep a close eye on the networked notetaking tool ecosystem and these guys have been able to release so many features before others even get it on their roadmap, it's wild.
The combination of Mike and Matty's communication skills and the overall all-in-one convenience of RemNote convinced me that they have what it takes to bring networked notetaking to a very wide audience.
@weaver_marquez Thanks for the kind words - welcome to the journey :)

@weaver_marquez Well articulated !
I have noticed this as well, these guys are at least an year ahead in terms of innovations and features.

RemNote has been in beta for more than a year now and I am proud to have been with them for most of that time!
Itโs heavily underrated and under appreciated.
Where it excels ?
- itโs hands down THE best app to learn just about anything ! Itโs the perfect blend of note-taking (bi-directional and outliner based) and SRS. Itโs the smoothest way to internalise any knowledge and keep them connected in a graphical database.
What it already has ?
- A powerful WYSIWYG editor (outliner) with best-in-class aliasing features in built.
- The smoothest outlining and bi-directional note taking system with multi-window support (you can go limitless with the help of portals)
- The best PDF annotation tool you can find in the market !
- Daily Note Styled Journaling
- All-in-one Personal Knowledge Management
- Customisable into a personal task and project management tool
- P.A.R.A system compatibility ;)
- Stand-alone desktop app for Mac windows and android. iOS and iPadOS very soon.
- a very generous free for lifetime plan and also a scholarship for the PRO plan.
- Free publishing of notes with collaboration soon to come ๐คฉ
- Zero lock in feature : you can export your data in multiple formats and can be used in other available tools in the market.
The list can go on ! Itโs so feature packed that you really canโt get enough of it ;)
What I love about it ?
- the lovely community ! ๐ฅฐ
- very friendly dev team.
- the API integrations (Airr, Twitter etc., )
- the stability of development ! Itโs the fastest and most stable development timeline I have seen in this niche.
- their commitment to empower students and life long learners
I wish you guys the best for the long run ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
Like countless others in the community, I am here to stay till the end ! ๐ฅฐ
