Give sources, evidence, synthesis and open questions one structured home, and build the argument in a tree where supporting context is a branch away.
Use one outline for the question, sources, claims and synthesis. Every claim can carry the note, quote and source context that supports it—without scattering the work across separate documents.
Put the source note directly beneath the claim it supports.
Search and saved searches reveal unfinished synthesis, missing evidence and open questions.
Version history and local-first storage keep the research record under your control.
The document is named for what you are trying to answer, not for the literature you happen to have collected.
One item per paper, with the citation and locator in its note, so a claim can never drift away from the page it rests on.
It stays a single item, edited from either place — no second copy to keep honest.
Start with the research question. Let the structure hold the evidence together.
Try the workflow today on your device. Instant keyboard response, zero cloud lock-in, infinite nestable outline items.
Write the draft. Keep the whole book in view.
Keep chapters, scenes, research and revision notes in one private outline — and move from the whole manuscript to one paragraph without losing its place.
Keep the reasoning with the code
Give every decision, bug, investigation and next action one private, keyboard-first home, so the reasoning survives the ticket, the PR and the next incident.
Plan once. Report from the same work.
Keep the plan, status, blockers, decisions and next actions in one tree, then switch view to report — without rebuilding the project in a second tool.
Keep the whole semester in one readable workspace
Keep lectures, readings, assignments and deadlines together for every course, in a private outline that works offline and still reads in week thirteen.
