But not just for taking notes in the conventional sense. They’ve grown to be useful for developing what are increasingly being called atomic notes. These are notes that are tiny in nature but, when linked together, they become a powerful database with which to explore thought and build ideas. It’s been called a SlipBox, Notebox, and Zettelkasten, likely among other monikers.Ĭertainly I’ve been quite keen on DEVONthink, as my recently released Taking Smart Notes with DEVONthink can attest.īut another one that is certainly worth exploring is Obsidian. I’ve been kicking its tires quite a bit, and it’s really quite neat. It provides a solid linking and back-linking system, and has quite a snazzy graphing mechanism, to boot. Now, you may be worried, as is often the case in the world of productivity, about choosing what to use. Especially if you’ve invested considerable time into one program or the other. Fortunately, you can use both.ĭEVONthink is the sort of app that plays well with others. ![]() It integrates a whole host of functions and then lets you use most any other app alongside it. Specifically, DEVONthink now allows for choosing both “Square Brackets” and “Names and Aliases” as WikiLink options, instead of only one or the other: For example, while you can create texts or edit PDFs in DEVONthink, you can also launch your favorite editors to work on them outside the application, while still keeping the advantages of them being within DEVONthink’s database.ĭEVONthink has recently had a small but quite significant change in its WikiLinks preferences that accommodates this rather well for note-linking apps. I want to thank you Kourosh for blazing the trail. Being new to this world of note taking and these apps, I bought your book and have been learning the ropes, piggy backing your system. In your book you mention your preference for names and aliases. There you seem yet to have seen any place for the square bracket wikilinks. There you seem to indicate item links (x-devonthink-item://… urls) as the means of preserving more meaningful (important) links. Here you seem to be replacing this role of item links with the double bracketed wikilinks (those compatible with Obsidian). Is that so? Experimenting on my own I notice that although item links are preserved as live links in Obsidian, they are not rendered as connections in the graph. ![]() The Obsidian graph shows exclusively what are double-bracket links. #Nvalt name change to all note links download#. ![]() #Nvalt name change to all note links update#.
