@martinwelker nice product! I got into it this morning and found it's a nice combo of Notion and Roam with a the to-do functionality of Amplenote. However, how does this connect to ZenKit? Like, if I add a task in Hypernotes can it show up in my task list in ZenKit to build into my existing workflow? Nice job overall!

@austin_langlois This.
1. You add a task in hypernotes. it shows up in Base and/or To-Do. and vice versa.
2. you can chat/comment on tasks and pages/blocks in Hypernotes via Zenchat.
@martinwelker One more thing I'd like to follow up on based on about a month of using :) I noticed that when I take notes in Hypernotes, and then want to copy/paste them into an email for a recap of a meeting (for example) - i cannot copy/paste multiple bullets / lines. Is this purposeful? Or an update planned? I find it a big roadblock in leveraging the tool with a larger workflow :) Thanks again!
@austin_langlois Hey Austin! its possible! Would you do me a favour and open a support ticket for that?
@francescod_ales What can I say? Many thanks. Let's build the future together ;)
Nice niche product for people whose notes are overflowing with scattered information.
In addition, you can see a lot of elaboration for the records, a lot of interesting features.
And of course great character on landing! 😁
BTW, do you have the ability to transfer current information from other sources?
@stas_voronov Thanks Stas! We hope it fulfils that need 😅 We're doing a bit of a feasibility study for imports from other tools and hope to be able to start building them soon.
Hello Product Hunt 👋
Meet Hypernotes! The tools traditionally used to capture and share knowledge are linear and hierarchical by nature. Most popular knowledge bases and note apps are very limited by their pre-defined hierarchies and folders.
This inevitably leads to hundreds, if not thousands of notes containing valuable knowledge that end up gathering dust because it’s simply too difficult to find them. Who hasn’t started taking notes, writing down ideas, and collecting useful quotes and articles, only to forget what it was called, where it should be stored, or even what category it belongs in?
This means that knowledge is lost and forgotten, and all that note-taking led to nothing...
With Hypernotes, notes organically link to one another, so finding relevant knowledge is much easier, even if a note was written years ago! (And even if you totally forgot about it.) Hypernotes creates a living knowledge base. The more you write, the greater your knowledge becomes and the more links are created between things you didn’t even consider to be related!
The knowledge graph is the cherry on top, making finding connections an intuitive, visual experience. Collaboration features like in-line task creation, task assignments, due dates & notebook level overviews make Hypernotes the perfect tool for teams, too!
Hypernotes achieves these lofty goals with a number of features that have become the gold-standard for personal and organizational knowledge management in recent years:
🔁 Bi-directional linking between related notes
📝 Outlining of large topics into smaller sub-topics,
💡 Automated suggestions to link related but as yet unconnected notes,
📃 Embedding of text blocks to reduce duplicate content,
🔗 Knowledge graph for better discovery,
👯♀️ Extensive collaboration on the task, note, and notebook level,
📱 Mobile apps on all platforms and offline access.
In addition, Hypernotes uniquely offers:
- GDPR conformity and EU-based servers,
- Enterprise-grade admin and user management (SSO, SCIM, Roles&groups),
- Activity tracking on task, note, and notebook levels.
- Advanced task management (Assignments, due date, etc)
- Built-in dedicated productivity tools through Zenkit Suite,
And last not least: FREE plans available!

?makers What are your plans for import/export? Will it support plain text (markdown) export of your entire notebook? How about import from Roam's JSON export?
@kerim Great question, Kerim! We're working on export to PDF and JSON now, and then implementing import from other tools is next on the list :)
I love this product! Especially the pages view. Also love how clean and not cluttered it looks.
When do you guys rest? To be honest there are so much things in your galaxy of product that I don't know wich one I should use for my project 😅
For example, there are To-Dos in every product, and I don't understand if they are the same thing, if they are connected or not. I suppose the Zenkit galaxy of products needs a bit of finish to be very clear about the connexions between the tools.
But anyway, really a great job, congrats for this lauch !
@_entropea :) Great. That is exactly how it is: Tasks and commenting IS basically always involved. Tasks are not only connected - they are the same thing over the Zenkit platform.
You can always work with the best tool for the situation: Sometimes its a note app, sometimes a to-do app, sometimes a chat. The data is always in syn. No more silos.
Examples:
1. You add some tasks in your Hypernotes text - you see them instantly in our agenda within the Zenkit To-Do app - together with all your other task.
2. You add comments somewhere Hypernotes or To-Do - and you see them instantly in Zenchat.
@martinwelker Yes, I supposed it was how it works, but tbh I am a bit lost with all of this, but maybe it's because the product is overkill for my needs.
I will give Hypernotes a go for a side project of mine. I was very interested by Roam Research when I discovered it but your visual graph is a killer feature :)
@martinwelker yes. but i gave up then. since there was no interest to get a new paying member. good luck with this attitude.
@martinwelker i will, if i ever find the motivation again. not very to go such a route and only getting "support" cause of a PH post. but thanks for the offer.
@staflow You claim that "requests" have not been answered without any further details (no name, date, issues, etc) - I take this statement very serious. Our support team does an amazing job for thousands of users- every single week. Please provide my a ticket number and I can double-check.
You have set a pretty meaningful premise for building the Hypernotes. Hope it delivers on the promises.
Looks very interesting - I've been waiting patiently for Evernote to add bidirectional linking but nothing has happened yet on that front. Is their a Windows app out at the moment or is it only for use on the web? Will the windows app be an Electron or be lighter with just a WebView?
@cognociente @martinwelker You can find them all to download here: https://zenkit.com/en/hypernotes...
@bearmace hi! we have blocks, but can you go into details about what you are looking for specifically?
I have been testing the product over the recent past, and it's quite promising. [I prodded the team to offer inline todos, perhaps along with others. But anyway, it's now available.]
The like the idea that Hypernotes is one part of a suite of tools, all taking advantage of shared elements, like the Zenkit 'spreadbase' architecture, and todos.
I just wish I could disable the explicit bullets on every Hypernote block, so notes would look less listy.
Have yet to try porting parts of my system for journaling and work management from Notion, but I plan to give it a try.
@stowe_boyd Hi Stowe,
Happy that you like it so far. Its just the beginning ;)
We have some ideas how to combine both approaches ("outlining" and conventional "note-taking") - without adding extra complexity to the onboarding experience.
Do you already have a concrete idea how to include that (e.g. switching views, selection of page-styles etc.)? If so we'd love to hear your thoughts.
Please keep us updated!
@stowe_boyd Yep, we added inline tasks thanks to prompts from you and others - thanks for all your early feedback!
@einkoenig Hi Jan! We will release 4 new products this year.. I keep you updated ;)
