Search your items

If you've got a lot of items, you can quickly get around to the right one with Notebook.ai's full-text search. It searches your entire notebook for anything you wrote about that item.

You can also filter your items by tag, whether you've favorited that page, and which universe it's in.

Private by default

Your ideas are valuable. Every item you create in Notebook.ai is owned by you, completely private by default, and only accessible to you.

But of course, you also have full control over that privacy and can share any item page you want, however you want, whenever you want.

Items are free to create

You can fill out as little or as much as you'd like on every new item. You'll see progress indicators every time you edit it to show where you can make progress on and our system will intelligently generate questions for you around the site that will automatically save your answers to the proper place on your item page.

Templates are also fully customizable across every item in your notebook.

To focus on a single universe, simply select it from the top-left dropdown of any page.
