Build your second brain without subscriptions. Open source Roam alternatives for networked notes, bidirectional linking, and knowledge graphs.
Roam Research is a unique note-taking application built around the concept of bidirectional linking. Unlike traditional linear note-taking systems, Roam allows you to easily connect ideas and build a personal knowledge base through linked references and graph-like organization. This makes it incredibly powerful for researchers, writers, and anyone who wants to explore complex relationships between concepts. However, its pricing can be prohibitive for some users, and the platform’s data format isn’t widely interoperable leading many to search for alternatives.
