Roam Research

Roam Research is a powerful tool that transforms the way users capture and relate information. Unlike traditional note-taking apps that follow a hierarchical structure, Roam operates on a graph-based model, allowing notes to be linked in multiple directions. This approach mirrors the way human memory works, fostering deeper connections between concepts and enhancing understanding.

• Markdown Support: Utilises Markdown for formatting, ensuring simplicity and compatibility.

• Custom Shortcuts and Templates: Offers the ability to create personalised shortcuts and templates to streamline workflows.
