Class notes end up scattered across too many apps and formats
During lectures, I take notes in different ways depending on the situation: handwritten notes, typed documents, photos of the board, or quick voice notes. Over time, these notes get scattered across multiple apps and folders. When exam time comes, it becomes hard to find all notes related to a single topic. Even when I know I wrote something down, I often don’t remember where or in what format. Existing note-taking apps are powerful but assume a single input method. There is no simple way to unify notes from different sources into one clear, searchable structure per course.
I capture ideas constantly but lose them when they matter most
I write down ideas, notes, and insights all the time. During classes, conversations, reading, or random moments of inspiration. Capturing information is easy, but making use of it later is the real problem. When I actually need an idea or a piece of information, I remember that I wrote it somewhere, but not where. Searching through notes becomes a frustrating guessing game. Most note-taking tools help with organization only if you are extremely disciplined. I want a system that helps me rediscover useful thoughts without needing perfect structure.
