Note-taking apps are a solid addition to any productivity suite and can do wonders for your information-storing capabilities. The purpose of note-taking is to ensure that you can capture the essence of a set of information so that you are not burdened with memorizing everything words by word.
What is your go-to tool for note-making? Mine is Apple notes, especially after the new update! 🚀

I’m an Apple Notes person too. It’s perfect for quick capture — shopping lists, loose thoughts, “don’t forget this” at 1:12 am. The trouble starts when the work gets real (research, product planning, writing specs). I end up living in three places:
— notes for writing
— whiteboards (FigJam/Miro) for visual thinking
— AI chats for exploring ideas
My personal hell — these tools don’t see each other. I move things by hand: sticky notes → tables, fragments → a doc, then paste everything into an AI chat so it understands the context. By the end of the week I often have three half-true versions in three tabs.
I talked to other folks (PMs, researchers, founders). Some were fine. Many described the same loop: big picture/visual thinking on a whiteboard, details in docs, AI off to the side — and a lot of copy-paste in between.
So thats's why I’m building Integrity — one place where docs, canvases, and AI chats live in the same project tree.
Anything you place on a canvas (a note, section, table, even a chat) also exists in the tree. You can open it as a page, or put it back on the canvas when you need a map.
The AI chats sits inside the project. You can drag content into or out of iit or @mention notes/sections/canvases, and it immediately has context.
This isn’t about “another notes app.” It’s about not losing the thread between thinking, writing, and talking to AI.
If your ideas also tend to die the day after capture, I’d love to hear where your flow breaks — that’s what I’m trying to fix.
