Why

Where

Features

Plain Text & Future Proof

No propietary format, only plain markdown files. Even if this app dies, you'll not lose your notes

Native Interest Repetition

Interest Repetition is the evolution of Spaced Repetition & Incremental Reading

Ilse implements native interest repetition where we don't depend on this app itself, you can use scripts and your OS(Operation System) native Keyboard Shortcut

Free & Open Source

You can check the code for yourself, clone and modify it.


Platform Independent

The tool itself it multi-platform, but the standard itself might be implement on a toaster software since its generic enough for any developer to pick up.

Zettelkasten

We have first-class support for bullets and bi-directional link for a custom Zettelkasten.

OS Keyboard Shortcut

For Linux, Windows and MacOS we have scripts so you can write even if the app is closed


Extensable with Plugins

If there's a feature we you want but either don't have or don't plan to implement, you might implment it yourself, you might also download plugins from third-parties as to extend your tool.

Themes & CSS Snippets

Customize the look if your zettelkasten with those.

Graph

For Linux, Windows and MacOS we have scripts so you can write even if the app is closed


More
Stresless & Cognitive Load

This is about the First brain study, where you just dump study material there to be scheduled to be studied later.

Repetition System

We have a custom Spaced Repetition scheduling system for everything from flashcards, prompts, reminders, inspirations, todos etc. Different from Supermemo and Anki we don't have a "daily drill" you study when it's the most plesurable to you.

Universal Access

The app does not need to be open for you to use Zettelkasten or Interest Repetition, Since the app is from a standard, so scripts can intereact with it too.

Script for: Linux MacOS Windows

Pre-made "Decks"

Since making "items" for ilse is merely making normal files + metadata, we have no such a thing as a "format", it's just normal files, so we can share with each other things such as materials for learning medicine, japanese, geology, neuroscience, HTML practive files.
