Every note holds a single idea. Link them together, and the connections start doing the thinking — a living network that grows more useful the more you add to it.
Free. Your notes stay private to you.
Threads, images, clips, chats — more crosses your screen in a day than anyone can hold onto. Writing it down helps, but only if you can find it again. The usual filing systems quietly work against you.
Sort things into categories and you spend your time naming buckets and second-guessing which one a note belongs in. Most ideas honestly fit in more than one — and then you can never remember where you filed them.
Tags feel looser, until you're inventing a fresh one every note and drowning in near-duplicates. How many is too many? You find out only once the mess is unusable.
Weave is built on Zettelkasten — German for "note box," the slip-box method sociologist Niklas Luhmann used to turn scattered notes into connected thought.
Keep every note atomic — a single thought, small enough to reuse and recombine. In your own words, always.
Every note gets a Luhmann-style ID — 1 → 1a → 1a1 — so you can point to it from anywhere.
Connect related notes and watch the web take shape. Over time, new ideas emerge from the links themselves.
One idea is all it takes to begin. Add a few more, link them, and connections you never planned start surfacing on their own.
