Saving information is only the beginning.

Qind helps you capture information, organize what you've collected, and ask questions across your saved knowledge.

Capture
Save links with the web clipper or by pasting them, upload PDFs, Office files, images, audio and video, or write a note.
Organize
Qind can summarize what you save and files the items it is confident about into your collections. Tags come with Basic and Pro. You can change any of it or turn it off.
Ask
Ask Qind answers questions across your library and lists the saved sources it drew on, so you can check them.
Start with the free plan
Ask Qind answering “What are the 3 key points of this article on Atomic Habits?” with three numbered points, each marked [1], and a Sources list linking to the saved article on jamesclear.com.
Ask Qind on a saved article. The question and source are real; we edited the answer to keep it short.

Different tools are built for different jobs.

There is no single right answer here, and tools in the same group still differ from each other. Start from the job you need done.

Traditional note-taking
For what you write yourself. Apple Notes, Google Keep and OneNote are close at hand if you already use Apple, Google or Microsoft. Evernote adds tasks and a schedule, and Obsidian keeps everything in your own Markdown files.
Documents and shared workspaces
For building something: pages, databases and projects, often with other people. That is Notion’s ground, and Qind does not try to replace it.
Bookmark management
For keeping links tidy and easy to find again. Raindrop.io is built for this. Pocket has closed, so people who relied on it need a new home. mymind keeps links alongside images and notes, and is strong at finding them visually.
Reading and highlights
For when the reading is the point. Instapaper gives saved articles a clean place to be read, and Readwise brings back what you marked.
AI-assisted knowledge management
For when you save more than you can file by hand and want to ask questions of it. Mem works from your notes and meetings. Qind works from pages, files, recordings and notes, and names its sources. It is built for one person’s library, not a team’s.

What is Qind?

Qind is a personal AI knowledge management tool. You save web pages, notes, documents, images, audio and video in one library, Qind helps organize them, and you ask questions in plain language and get answers that cite what you saved. It runs in the browser, with a web clipper for Chrome, Edge and Firefox and an MCP server for AI assistants.

How is Qind different from traditional note-taking apps?

Note apps are built around what you write and where you put it. Qind is built around what you collect: it takes in pages, files and recordings as well as notes, can summarize them, files the items it is confident about, and answers questions across all of it. If you mostly write your own notes and like arranging them, a note app may suit you better.

Can Qind replace Readwise, Notion, or Obsidian?

It depends on how you use them. Qind can replace the place you keep what you read and research. It does not replace Readwise's spaced repetition, Notion's shared workspace and databases, or Obsidian's local Markdown files and hand-built links. You can also keep any of them and use Qind alongside.

Can I move my existing notes and saved content to Qind?

Yes, by uploading files. Export from your current tool, then upload Markdown, CSV, HTML, PDF, Word or PowerPoint files, several at a time; each file becomes one item. The web clipper can also import your Chrome bookmarks. Direct imports from Notion, Evernote, Obsidian, Raindrop.io, Google Drive and OneDrive are planned, not available yet. Tags and folders from other tools do not carry over.

Is Qind free to try?

Yes. The Free plan has no time limit, needs no card and includes Ask Qind. If you outgrow it, the pricing page compares Basic and Pro.
