Introduction
Hi friends! 👋 There was such a great response to my initial post, 7 promising new personal knowledge management apps to watch in 2022, that I was inspired to do a sequel. Many thanks to the warm personal knowledge management (PKM) community on Twitter who suggested some of these! I may need to make this a regular series of roundup posts…
There have been so many interesting personal knowledge management apps launching over the past few years. It’s a good time to be interested in digital note-taking software! I’m very happy with my own personal knowledge management setup for now, but I’m always interested to follow new apps on the horizon for managing digital notes and building a personal knowledge management system. I make sure to build my own PKM system in a future-proof format so that I can always feel free to move systems down the road.
Side note– please don’t feel tempted by bright shiny object syndrome. ☺️ If you’re happy with your current app (whether it be Notion, Roam, Obsidian, Bear, Evernote…), please don’t change! If your PKM setup is working for you right now, just keep enjoying. ☺️ But if your current digital note-taking setup could use an overhaul, and you’re in the market for a new personal knowledge management app, one of these just might be the right fit for you.
In alphabetical order, here is a roundup of new, emerging, rapidly growing, and promising personal knowledge management apps to watch in 2022 and beyond. And if you like these, be sure to check out the original post as well.
