Notes

Why use Elisi Notes?

Notes are a basic tool for collecting knowledge and organizing ideas. Elisi Notes is designed for lightweight, quick, distraction-free capture. Nested notes and links to tasks and goals help you organize ideas as they come to you.

Unlike complex document editors and mind-mapping tools, Elisi focuses on quick capture and simple organization. If you need a deep personal knowledge base, consider using a dedicated bidirectional-linking notes app or cloud document tool alongside Elisi.

We aim to provide:

Notes stored securely so you can return to them later.
Unlimited nesting, with links to tasks and goals.
Ongoing improvements; basic image insertion is available.

Organize and manage notes

Use headings

Notes support multiple heading levels to organize content:

H1 Heading 1

Frequently asked question

Why doesn't Elisi integrate with WeChat?

We want to provide a quiet, focused place to store knowledge. Notes should not depend on a chat window, so that your knowledge can stay organized and easy to follow.

You can still share content from apps that support external links, such as Zhihu, to Elisi Notes.

What's next?

We plan to continue improving Notes, including Markdown support, image handling, and search.
