Most PKM tools optimize for perfect folders on day one. Real life is messier: you save a link on the train, jot a thought before a meeting, and promise to file it all later.
BigPicture starts with capture. Notes, URLs, voice memos, and screenshots land in an inbox. When you have time, move them into folders or attach them to a context (a project, health goal, or season of life).
What you get
- A familiar file tree with rich notes (headings, bullets, attachments, cross-links)
- URL capture with page title, excerpt, and optional AI summary
- Contexts that group notes, todos, and chats around one theme
- Chat beside your files so you can ask about your own notes without exporting them
- Version history when you rewrite something important
Search (Cmd+K) spans notes and contexts. Share links exist for collaboration, but your private library stays private by default.
Read how the daily brief turns that same material into a once-a-day reflection.
