Samong (สมอง — Thai for "brain") is a visual note-taking app: an infinite whiteboard where PDF highlights become linked cards and mindmaps build themselves. Free to start.
Tried importing a research PDF and watched it break into highlight cards on the board, which felt way more useful than just re-reading the file. The auto-linking into a mindmap saved me the usual grunt work, though I wish the free tier had more shape options.
@zlem94817150606 Thank you!
Love how the highlights auto-link into cards, saves me a ton of time on research. One thing I'd wish for is a way to export the whole mindmap as a clean Markdown outline so I can drop it into Obsidian or Notion without rebuilding it manually.
@nurgl1593508 Thank you!
Dropped a few PDFs on the canvas and watched highlights turn into actual nodes in a mindmap without me dragging anything. The infinite zoom feels smooth and the linked cards keep my scattered notes from collapsing into chaos again.
@berke735135 Thank you!
Turning what you read into a visual second brain is a great concept — most note-taking tools require you to manually organize everything after the fact. Does it work passively in the background as you browse, or do you need to actively save/clip things first?
the way pdf highlights turn into linked cards on an infinite board is genuinely clever, feels like the app already understands how you think before you do
@neclapzxa Thank you!
