Choose Noteey if you need:
A powerhouse canvas that goes beyond note-taking. We’re talking shapes, layers, freehand drawing, and flexible arrows that point exactly where you want (not just object-to-object). The folder organization is a game-changer—nest boards as deep as you need. Plus, you can highlight everything: text, PDFs, videos, even audio clips.
Choose Heptabase if you want:
AI that’s not just an add-on. They’ve doubled down on artificial intelligence with MCP integration and you use your entire vault as context. You also get true multi-platform access (desktop, web, mobile), and a global task view that keeps all your tasks/checkboxes visible in one place.
My take? Noteey for creative, visual work as well as knowledge management. Heptabase for research and text-heavy projects with AI assistance.
