Overview of Personal Knowbase

Take control of your information!

Whether you're capturing ideas, archiving e-mail messages, organizing your research notes, or just trying to get rid of all those bits of paper on your desk... Personal Knowbase can help.

What is Personal Knowbase?

Personal Knowbase is the free-form notes organizer that makes it easy to manage the large amount of information that crosses your desktop every day. This software uses a natural way to retrieve notes, using keywords to filter your database for related information quickly.

Build a personal knowledge base of all your notes, messages, and ideas. Get rid of all those bits of paper and little text files that you can never find when you need them.

Manage all your digital information in one place.

Reduce paper clutter.

Save time managing your information.

Find related information easily.

Why use keywords?

Indexing with keywords sets Personal Knowbase apart from other free-form database software. Remember, it doesn't matter how easily you can store information if you can't find it later.

Software that provides only string searches isn't enough. Even a complete text search on any variation of "motherhood" won't locate a great quote like "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." And a search for "opera" returns every reference to "operation" or "operator"! Using keywords, you can find information easily by association.

Software that uses category trees isn't enough. It forces each note into a single category or subcategory. Does a note on books about national parks go under the Books category or the Travel category? The answer is both! Using keywords, you can cross-reference your notes with as many keywords as you need.
