It's 2 AM. Your group project is due tomorrow. You're frantically switching between your shared document (where someone just accidentally deleted a crucial paragraph), a separate chat app pinging with conflicting ideas, your personal notes scattered across three different apps, and the course portal for assignment details. Your study planner is a forgotten spreadsheet, and the thought of making flashcards for the upcoming exam feels like another mountain to climb. Sound familiar?
Axonotes is being built to end this chaos.
Axonotes aims to be the ultimate command center for students and educators, tackling the common frustrations of digital learning and teaching. We're building the tool we wish we had – a single, streamlined platform where notes, collaboration, planning, learning tools, and communication live together seamlessly, built specifically for academic life.
We're focused on:
- Unifying Your Workflow: No more app-switching. Notes, tasks, chat, and learning tools in one place.
- Effortless Collaboration: Work together in real-time without the usual headaches, with features like line-level locking.
- Powerful Knowledge Creation: Flexible note-taking (Markdown, rich text, infinite canvases, pen support), content tools to capture and connect your ideas, ( \LaTeX ) support, and code snippets.
- Smart Planning & Organization: Integrated planning, powerful global search, knowledge graphs, and calendar integration.
