Description
Heptabase is an intelligent, visual knowledge base built for students, researchers, and lifelong learners. It uses whiteboards and cards to help you clarify your thinking and stay in flow, and lets you build a connected knowledge base that keeps all your sources, notes, highlights, and discussions in one place. AI can explain your sources, help you take notes, and organize your knowledge.
The app includes a block-based editor, bi-directional links, PDF annotation, daily journals, a web clipper, and integrations with tools like Readwise and Zotero, plus a Heptabase CLI. It is designed to be fast, works offline, supports real-time collaboration for free with teammates, and is available on mobile.
Heptabase also offers an AI Tutor that builds a personalized course around your learning goal, level, and materials, adapting to your pace and answering questions as you go, and can turn lessons into organized notes on your whiteboard. Pricing includes Pro, Premium, and Premium+ tiers with a free trial, differing mainly by the amount of AI credits included.
