Digital commonplace book that resurfaces connections across your saves
About Asterism
Asterism is a digital commonplace book where each saved note, image or voice memo becomes a 'star' in a personal collection, and the app looks for patterns and connections across everything you have saved, resurfacing relevant material instead of waiting to be searched. The whole book can be exported in Markdown or JSON at any time, on any tier.
