Most tools were built for taking notes, not for doing research. Here's what falls apart when your reading list hits 50 papers.
Half your citations are in Zotero, your notes live in Google Docs, and your concept map is a whiteboard photo from three months ago. Nothing talks to anything else.
"I read something about CBT and exposure therapy..." You know it's in one of your 73 papers, but you'll spend an hour looking for it instead of writing.
How does Attachment Theory connect to Object Relations? Where does the evidence overlap? Your brain knows there's a pattern, but your tools can't show it.
Articles, concepts, theorists, and your own notes—connected the way they actually relate to each other.
Create concepts for the theories, treatments, and frameworks you're studying. Connect them hierarchically and see how ideas relate—not just alphabetically, but conceptually.
CBT → Exposure Therapy → Systematic Desensitization
Paste a DOI and we'll pull in the title, authors, journal, and year automatically. Link papers to concepts, people, and custom tags. Tag a project like "Thesis Ch. 3" and instantly see every related source, note, and concept in one place.

Every note links to sources, concepts, and people. Filter by any combination. When it's time to write, pull up all notes on a concept across every source.
"Bowlby (1969) posits that early attachment bonds form internal working models that..." → linked to 3 concepts, 2 sources
Start with the theories and frameworks you're studying—Attachment Theory, CBT, Dopamine Pathways. Organize them hierarchically and define how they relate.
Paste a DOI to auto-import article details, or add sources manually. Upload PDFs, tag them with concepts and people, and take inline annotations so your notes live right next to the source material.
Filter notes by concept, person, or year. Pull up everything you've ever read about a topic in one view. Your literature review practically writes itself.
