Organize knowledge the way it makes sense to you
Knovis is a spatial canvas for organizing and presenting your knowledge — part digital scrapbook, part desktop replacement, part presentation tool. It's built not for quick note-taking, but for curating environments once your ideas are ready to take shape.
At the core are customizable items: resizable, taggable icons that can represent anything — notes, links, files, apps, video bookmarks, PDF references, or web content. Each item supports searchable metadata and can exist in multiple contexts. Items aren’t static — they can trigger actions, launch files, or play embedded media, even during presentations.
The canvas is fully zoomable and panable, offering an intuitive, freeform space to arrange, connect, and refine your ideas. Unlike rigid folder structures or cluttered knowledge graphs, Knovis embraces intuitive messiness. Items can stand out or fade into the background, depending on their purpose — creating a spatial memory of what matters, where, and why. The minimalist interface stays out of your way, letting you focus on the bigger picture. Ideal for researchers, creators, or planners, this app offers a powerful way to compile, present, and navigate complex information.
Move freely across your canvas, zooming and panning through your own narrative structure. Then, when it’s time to share or step back through your own process, set waypoints — saved, zoomed-in views of key areas — and string them into routes. These act like spatial slideshows, flying from one moment to the next, either automatically on a timer or manually. You can even include item triggers mid-route, turning your scrapbook into a guided experience.
What if your desktop wasn’t just a folder graveyard, but a living, thinking space? This app reimagines your digital workspace as a canvas for your brain. Drag in customizable “items” like icons, scale them up or down, tag them with searchable metadata, and arrange them however you want. Think of it as a digital scrapbook — where each piece you drop in has purpose, metadata, and meaning. This isn’t for capturing fleeting thoughts; it’s for crafting the environments where your ideas settle, connect, and come to life.
What if your desktop worked the way your brain does — spatial, non-linear, and interactive? This app reimagines your workspace as a fluid canvas where each item can be anything from a file or folder to a web link, tool, video snippet, or bookmarked reference.
Each item on the canvas acts like a smart, movable icon — customizable in size, text, and metadata. Tag it in multiple ways, reuse it across contexts, and surface it later with ease. The zoomable, panable space gives you room to think spatially with no pressure to align things to a grid or stick to matching colors. It’s not about being neat. It’s about making meaning. items can pop or blend as needed, depending on their role in your environment. It’s an intuitive, visual way to manage complexity, synthesize information, and build clarity out of chaos.
Whether you're assembling a lecture, mapping out a trip, or planning a project, this app gives you a visual, interactive canvas to bring everything together. Each item is versatile — notes, files, video clips, bookmarks, links, or tools — all customizable, searchable, and reusable.
Organize your content however it makes sense — with no forced structure. Then, when you need to present or walk someone through it, create waypoints — saved views of specific parts of your canvas. Combine them into routes to build a flow — manual or timed — that lets you “fly” across your space while triggering actions like opening files or playing embedded media. It’s spatial, dynamic, and more intuitive than traditional slides.
