What is Zkn (Zettelkasten)?
Zkn (Zettelkasten) is a note taking and personal knowledge management app inspired by the Zettelkasten note taking methodology. It allows users to easily capture and create atomic notes that are interlinked to support thinking and knowledge creation.
Some key features of Zkn include:
- Creating notes that are categorized as fleeting, permanent, or project notes
- Linking notes together to see connections and build ideas
- Tagging and searching notes for easy retrieval
- Backlinking to see where notes are connected
- Spaced repetition review of notes so nothing important is forgotten
- Markdown for formatting notes
- Syncing across devices via iCloud or other cloud services
The interlinked structure of notes in Zkn allows it to function not just as a simple note taking app but as a powerful second brain and knowledge management system. It facilitates discovery of new ideas by uncovering connections in your notes over time. If you like the concept of building a Zettelkasten, Zkn provides a solid digital implementation that makes the process easier.
