Jotaid - Research Notes

Jotaid turns notes into connected concepts. A node here is a single idea, not a whole note — finer-grained than any note graph you've used. Backlinks, a live graph, and a co-occurrence matrix show how your thinking actually fits together.

WHAT MAKES JOTAID DIFFERENT Most note apps stop at storage. Jotaid goes further — it maps the relationships between your ideas, scores them, clusters them, and surfaces the ones you never drew yourself.

AI THINKS WITH YOU, NEVER FOR YOU Every AI feature stops short of a conclusion. It does the groundwork — surfacing nodes, structuring, connecting — and leaves the judgment to you.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Capture — Global hotkey, share sheet, clipboard, AI chat import. Ideas go in fast.
2. Organize — Project → Theme → Note, or slip-box, or PARA. Your method, natively.
3. Connect — Backlinks tie notes together. AI finds the nodes you missed.
4. Discover — Read your knowledge as a graph, a matrix, or cards on an infinite canvas.

CONNECTIONS, QUANTIFIED • Concept nodes — finer-grained than note-level graphs • Co-occurrence matrix — how often ideas appear together, clustered automatically • Scored links — every connection ranked, every node typed as Core, Bridge, or Emerging • Infinite canvas — drag cards until the themes form themselves

AI FEATURES (Bring Your Own Key) • Smart Node — spots concepts worth promoting to nodes, with the notes that link them • Potential Relations — finds concept pairs you've never linked, and reasons out why they matter • Theme Summary — reads every note under a Theme and returns a structured insight • Auto-Title & Auto-Tag — less busywork, more thinking ( AI features require your own API key. Works with all major AI providers and any compatible endpoint. Jotaid does not provide AI services.)
