Scrintal

What it does

Scrintal is a visual note-taking tool for research and study. It lets you collect PDFs, images, notes and docs on an infinite canvas, then connect them with arrows and bi-directional links. Blocks can be turned into documents, and teams can work together in real time.

Scrintal is built for visual thinkers who want their sources and notes in one place. You collect PDFs, images, notes and docs on an infinite canvas, then link them with arrows and bi-directional links. Blocks can be turned into documents with a click. The page says you can read, take notes and watch videos at the same time on one canvas. Real-time collaboration is listed, so friends and colleagues can work on the same board. Templates for study and research are available. The site also promotes Gobu, a separate AI research assistant built on Scrintal's canvas and writing tools. The public page does not state whether a free plan exists, whether there is an API, or whether the software is open source. Pricing shows Scrintal Pro billed annually, but the amount is not shown. Downloads are listed for macOS and Windows only.
