Roam Research

Networked notes built on bi-directional links and daily pages.

About Roam Research

Roam Research pioneered the networked-thought movement: notes are written as nested bullet blocks on daily pages, and [[links]] plus automatic backlinks connect every idea to everywhere it is mentioned, so knowledge compounds instead of sitting in folders. Researchers, writers, and students use its block references and graph view to build a personal knowledge base that surfaces connections they did not plan. The interface is powerful but austere, and the learning curve is real. There is no free plan; Roam costs $15/month or $165/year, with a five-year Believer plan, and a free trial is available for new graphs.
