About Scrintal
Scrintal lays notes out as cards on open boards, where they can be connected to one another to map how ideas relate. The approach suits brainstorming, research and study, where seeing the structure of a topic helps more than a linear list of pages.
The company has also released Gobu, an AI research assistant that helps you work through articles, academic papers, essays and reports. Scrintal is aimed at researchers, students and professionals who think visually.
Strengths
- Notes arranged and linked visually on boards
- Suited to research and study workflows
- Companion AI assistant for reading articles
Limitations
- Web-based service that requires an account
- Closed source, with notes stored on the service
