Overview of Personal Knowbase

Take control of your notes!

Personal Knowbase is a note manager which helps you store and access your notes quickly.

This software can be and has been used for organizing everything from basic to-do lists to extensive research databases. Its flexibility and lack of limitations make it appropriate for almost any task involving keeping freeform text information.

Build your own personal knowledge base by capturing ideas, reference snippets, messages, and more. Assign keywords to notes to create an index of your information. Recall your notes easily by using the index to filter your database.

Save time with quick retrieval.

Reduce paper clutter.

Organize your computer.

Manage all data for one project together by linking to related files and web pages, so that all project information is accessible with the same keywords.

Access Personal Knowbase conveniently from your Windows desktop. No need to login or worry about downtime or your data's privacy. You control its safety and accessibility on your own computer.

Why use keywords?

Personal Knowbase uses a system of indexing your notes with keywords.

Text searching alone isn't enough. Even a complete search on "motherhood" won't locate a relevant quote like "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." And a search for "opera" returns references to "operation" and "operator". Keyword indexing solves these problems by tagging notes by association.

Category trees aren't enough. As your database grows, trees become deep and difficult to navigate. Category-based software forces each note into a single branch. Does a review of a book about parks go under the Books category or the Travel category? Both. Keyword indexing solves these problems by allowing as many keywords as you need and by avoiding trees entirely.
