What is Heptabase?

Heptabase is a note-taking app for taking complex notes. Think it is as a combination of mind mapping and brainstorming, users can create visual, in-depth notes for learning.

With Heptabase you can use it for any of the three use cases; research for grabbing ideas and expanding knowledge, learning for using mindmaps and visualising what you have learnt and projects, for crafting and managing projects using Kanban boards.

In simpler terms, Heptabase is kind of like an Obsidian alternative. You can store notes, thoughts, and ideas here and turn them into visual boards such as whiteboards and maps.
