About Supernotes
Supernotes is a commercial note-taking app that stores ideas as notecards rather than long documents. Each card can hold Markdown, LaTeX math, tables, images, checklists and emojis, and cards can be arranged in a hierarchy, filtered, searched and linked, with a 2D or 3D graph view of the connections.
Sharing is built in: a card can be shared in seconds with friends or colleagues, who can read it without an account and, if they have one, edit and comment in real time. The vendor also describes AI features that catch typos and help organize ideas, and states that user data is kept private and secure. It publishes integrations, a blog and a community.
Supernotes can be started for free, with paid upgrades on the pricing page, and it is available on web and mobile. It is delivered as a hosted service and suits students, researchers and small teams who like short linked notes.
