this application is one of the most interesting ways of note taking in the world right now CU it
uses something called objects a very interesting system and it works offline local first encrypted
open source and markdown and it's a really interesting application one that we'll be
diving into in this video if you're interested in it check it out in the link in the description and
find out more any type is a note tiing application it's got three interesting things about it it's
local first which means you can use it offline it's encrypted which means it's slightly more
secure for you taking notes and also it uses object based note taking which is a fairly new
way of note taking that many new companies like capacities any type and other tools are moving
towards as a way to take notes so let's show you how this works and a little bit more about any
type to see if it's a note taking application for you so you can see here that any type is
structured very much like many other notet taking applications on the left side you can see your
widgets which allows you to quickly access stuff inside of your account in this case I've pinned a
couple of widgets to the left hand side you create widgets from this top right corner but very simply
let's cut to the chase everything starts with an object inside of this account so here's a daily
journal entry as a demonstration you could for example start by saying I read the book and put
for our work week in there uh by Tim Ferris today and obviously these objects are pre pre-populating
your account which means you can create them from scratch but you can actually add more detail to
them so for example if I click into Tim Ferris I can see that I can add a cover photo for example
here I could add a cover photo to him I could add some of my notes on him and this means that every
time I'm creating a note relevant to Tim Ferris I can see any of the back links created this is
perfect for organizing ideas and most importantly L if I was coming back to this I could click into
the 4our work week book and see that it's authored by Tim Ferris now you can create
a range of objects including Collections and you can even go to a library in the bottom left hand
corner and find a range of different types that have been added to my account for example video
Daily Journal objective humans books bookmarks and whatever for example I saved a link to this page
and it automatically saved it as a bookmark which is really helpful so object can be a
really helpful way because you can customize the relations with inside them so for example if I was
particularly interested in having a uh URL added to the object of human I could go to types and go
over to human and I could change and install this inside of my account and modify a bit further now
this is a really interesting experience because if I go to the graph view you can start to see
relationships between this and how they correlate to other uh people so for example if I wanted to
see okay Bob Iger is the author of company a one I know he's not and ftim Ferris is the author of
4-Hour Work week I can start to see relationships being built based on the objects versus just your
notes now this is a really interesting setup but it's not the only thing you can do in the account
you can use project management you can change your layout to grid caman list calendar and even
graph view which allows you to plan some of your projects as a personal and management a little bit
more effectively now it does have the ability to go in and modify some of the properties like you
would see in apps like notion but it doesn't have advanced databases that you would typically see
in apps like notion Koda and many more but Lely this application is designed to be a note-taking
application it wants you to plan some of your ideas in here bring them into one place and
most importantly use object based note taking for that so it's going to be great for those
who want offline access open source markdown and also that encryption level that a lot of people
like they're constantly building to this and it's very fast to use in some of the test I've
done already I'm very impressed with how it's done and it's an application that I'm keeping an eye on
