hello everyone welcome back to the keep productive youtube channel it is francesco here
um today's video we are going to be diving into an app that's been around for a little bit of time
now it's called rem note and it is an application much like obsidian and rom research allowing you
to create this interconnected note-taking system of bi-directional links however it's got a bit of
a different approach to it in the fact that it's more tailored towards students the different i
guess a different or special feature that makes it more tailored for students is not only the linking
but something called smart flash cards which helps you use space repetition now this isn't
going to be a video where i show you the full in-depth ways of using rem rem note rem research
however i'm going to show you um more about the where it's available to download pricing
and a bit of a tour around the application i'm going to include some videos into some
great getting started guides from the likes of red gregory and a few more other creators
here on youtube so this month's sponsor is woven it is great to have them back as
a sponsor if you don't know what woven is it's a powerful calendar and scheduling application
it's actually my go-to calendar application and helps me schedule the majority of my meeting
features include the likes of scheduling tools to be able to organize those meetings whether they're
group ones or individual multi-calendar support video conferencing for connecting apps like
zoom and templates for saving you time with those routine meetings you can get woven free
in the description below and check out more a huge thanks to woven for coming on as a sponsor
so this is the website as we kick things off and you've got a few great use cases here as you can
see here some people already using the ways that the block references are set up to create a really
advanced setups um for connecting different pdfs different images and different files together
inside of their remnant account for studying so if i go over to download you can download it on
a range of different devices windows linux mac for the desktop editions mobile and they've got
a rem note clipper now to be fair that's not a bad little sort of lineup it doesn't have an ios
application which is the only shame so looking at pricing they've got a pretty decent pricing set
up um so the free account obviously gives you um the way that you can create bidirectional links
and settle casting and you can also turn notes into flash cards and that sort of general wiki
and i don't believe there's any specific um run out of space however in the free account you don't
get the graph view aliases search portals and some of the more advanced stuff when it comes
to say pdf upload custom date formats and much more like you know backup support things like
that that you'd expect however there is a pro version that gives you access to all of that
including the graph view we won't be demonstrating that today however it gives you the graph view
um and all of the features early access to new features and there is even a 300 pound license
which is a one-off and of course um you get the lifetime desktop pro as well as five years of
cloud support which isn't too bad if you were say really invested in this application for a long
time period okay so here we are on rem notes this is the web version as you can see here you've got
a bit of a drop out bar you can make that fixed if you want but there are sort of two key areas
to this there's q which is a cue for all of your flashcards that you create from any of your notes
and documents which is essentially your notes that you've created and as you can see here you
can create a range of different types of documents um one being a regular document one being today's
document which could be associated to today um and also new folder as well and quick add
whip i believe should just give you sort of a quick note addition and you've got sort of three
categories here pin draft and finish let's go ahead and create a brand new document so what i
like really like on this right hand side is you get a tour so if you want to follow the sort of
guide here then you can and one thing that i think is really nice inside of ram note that i haven't
seen inside of other applications is that you can add a pdf and it comes in line quite nicely
although applications that evernote do this if you wanted to say have some sort of bi-directional
linking and you understood it as a student or a researcher and you wanted to be able to connect
up a pdf that already exists inside of your system it could be a presentation or it could
be a document then you can connect that up with the pro account and that's quite nice
a nice addition so as you can see you can give it a title and these little dot things are called
rems and this is quite a nice like sort of concept in terms of the naming you essentially create a
ram and from the rem you can produce new pages and create links as well so let me demonstrate
how to create a page and then how to create um a link to that page or a block reference
so as you can see here if i actually click this little dot it turns into a page itself
and as you can imagine you can use the breadcrumbs to get back to it and you can use the actual page
itself to start writing away very similar to applications like dynalist and workflowy
in very similar concepts as well to rome research now the real magic as well is say for example um
i went to this page and say added something that might be useful in terms of i don't know
a bit of study let me add something let me bring something up just a little bit of science there
for you guys if i went down here and i would use the two brackets that you would traditionally use
inside of a bi-directional linking application and i would at times say nucleus because it was
on the topic of nucleus that i was writing about maybe it's on a different page i can bring in that
block reference and it brings in quite nicely there so what's really cool is i can click into
this i can even open the graph view inside of the pro account and i can open that ram as a document
in this case i'm going to go in and find that original note and as you can see here i have a
link reference here and i can in the pro account use a search pool tool to list these results which
is quite cool so from here i can actually do a few things i can do some more advanced highlighting
um add a portal for it um i can even add tanks copy the reference copy the portal to this
rem so as you can imagine um in order to create flash card you need a question to get that flash
card going so in this case i'm gonna add a question before the atom reference here
okay so when i go ahead and practice this you can see that um because i added this sort of
uh question mark and then the two um colons after it it essentially allowed me to create a question
and also an answer so as you can see it's blurred out this one i can fill in the blanks here and if
i want to obviously the answer comes up here now i can do a range of different things i can disable
it i can just add this rem to the edit later document i can accidentally press show too early
so for example there's a range of different things you can do to react to that in terms of how well
it was impacting on your recall or whether you made a mistake which is quite cool so for example
if i wanted to say flip the order that might be helpful for next time so for example if i wanted
to say that was quite hard you can um get a little bit of or sort of feedback on that one and when
it comes to next time it will bring that up in a bit of a different sequence to help you to improve
your learning and what's quite nice as well is if you wanted to move on and find like another folder
that you wanted to work on you could go and go to this folder icon and choose a specific document
or folder to study so that's quite nice in terms of producing some really useful flash cards that
get you going so i really like this whole concept of being able to sort of create documents and be
able to take more advantage of them so from a free perspective this is a really decent application
um from what i'm aware of it's got no limitations in terms of how much you can add to the document
which for some people can be quite scary however having that sort of digital backup the cloud
backup which is available through the web version of course with the other versions and having that
sort of ability to create flashcard really adds a layer that say obsidian might not be suitable
more so for for example if you're someone that really does just like very basic bi-directional
linking and you're in research or study and you also want to be able to use flashcards this is
quite a cool application for that and something that um might be a little bit easier to comprehend
and understand than say more of these rome research and the uh the obsidian applications
that are out there so guys i hoped you enjoyed today's video this was a really brief overview
i'll probably be playing around with it a lot more maybe potentially making a short course on
it in the next couple of weeks this is very much my first impressions it's a really cool looking
application for study students who are interested in really being able to create flashcards out of
their work and be able to make up um some really nice bi-directional linking and this is only the
free version which i was fairly impressed with so what i would say guys is definitely check out all
the stuff in the link in description we've got an interview with the founders that is going to
come up a few hours after this or maybe an hour after this so if you did want to get to know
the the people behind this application then this that's something that you can do from that video
anyway guys i hope you enjoyed today's video i give remno a seven early days still but i think
this application is um really well positioned and the way that they're sort of adding new additions
is a good experience and i want to get my teeth stuck more into this application in
terms of what it can really do in in terms of the punch that it can offer but guys i hope you enjoy
today's video make sure you're subscribed and i'll talk to you all very soon cheerio
bye
