Folders— Manually Organize Your Notes Your Way
Organize notes, recordings, PDFs, and web content into custom folders with full manual control.
Create custom folders to organize your notes, recordings, PDFs, URLs, and images — all manually categorized by you for complete control. View your notes in a clean list view, access them across all devices with seamless sync, and use latest-generation AI to synthesize folder contents into blog posts, reports, or study guides. Export to PDF, TXT, Notion, or Google Docs.
Manual Classification with Complete Authority
HyNote gives you full control over your knowledge organization. Unlike automatic tagging systems, folders are entirely user-managed — you create, name, and arrange them based on your specific needs. Whether you're a researcher categorizing academic sources or a professional managing client projects, you sort recordings, transcripts, and documents into customized structures that match your mental model.
AI-Powered Content Synthesis from Folders
Organization in HyNote is the foundation for transforming raw data into high-value outputs. By grouping diverse information — web research, whiteboard photos, meeting minutes — into project-specific folders, you create concentrated knowledge pools. Latest-generation AI can then synthesize the contents of any folder to generate polished blog posts, professional reports, or structured study guides in seconds.
