AI notes you actually own — and can publish.

Heptabase helps you arrange ideas visually; JustJot.ai helps you interrogate them. AI chat is grounded in the material you actually wrote, with citations back to the exact passage — so you can research, draft, and fact-check against your own corpus instead of trusting an assistant that can't point to a source.

Heptabase's strength is the whiteboard, but laying every card out by hand is real work. JustJot.ai connects ideas with backlinks and semantic search from the first minute — related notes surface themselves, so you spend time thinking, not arranging tiles on an infinite canvas.

Heptabase is built for understanding; JustJot.ai closes the loop with recall. Generate flashcards, a quiz, or a summary from any note without copy-pasting into another app. The notes you take become the material you revise from — one workspace for capture, understanding, and review.

Heptabase keeps everything in a private workspace with no path to the open web. Here any note can become an SEO-ready public page with a canonical URL, structured data, and a social card — so the understanding you build in your notes can also reach readers.

Turn the deep version of a note into a paid post, set what's free and what's gated, and keep the subscribers as your own. A learning canvas stops at your own head; here the same workspace takes you from first idea to a published, monetizable piece.

Heptabase is a paid, desktop-first app. JustJot.ai opens in any browser with nothing to install and no credit card — write notes, link them, and ask the AI about your own material from minute one. Paid tiers cover heavier use and paywalling your published work.

How is JustJot.ai different from Heptabase?

Heptabase is a visual learning tool that arranges notes as cards on an infinite whiteboard, kept in a private, paid-only workspace. JustJot.ai gives you a connected way to learn — backlinks, semantic search, and AI chat grounded in your own notes with citations, plus flashcards and quizzes from any note — without the canvas overhead, then adds publishing: turn any note into an SEO-ready public page, paywall the deep version, and keep your audience. And it's free to start in any browser.

Is JustJot.ai easier to get started with than Heptabase?

Yes. There's no canvas to arrange and nothing to install. You write notes, link them with backlinks, and search semantically from minute one. Connections surface on their own, so you get value before you've built any structure.

Does the AI cite my own notes like a grounded assistant should?

Yes. Chat is grounded in the notes and sources you wrote and links back to the exact passage it drew from, so you can verify every answer instead of trusting an ungrounded model.

Can I make flashcards and quizzes from my notes?

Yes. JustJot.ai generates flashcards, quizzes, and summaries from any note or selected source set, with a reader study mode to review them — so the notes you take double as the material you revise from.

Can I publish my notes? Heptabase keeps everything private.

Yes. Any note can become its own public page with a canonical URL, structured data, and a social share card — discoverable on the open web — while the rest of your notes stay private. You choose what leaves your workspace.

Is there a free version, or is it paid-only like Heptabase?

You can start for free: write and link notes, run semantic search, generate study artifacts, and ask the AI questions grounded in your own material without a credit card. Paid tiers exist for heavier use and for paywalling your own published work.
