What's better than Heptabase on iPhone?

Drafted with AI from the Nemos app and its documentation. Details about other apps can change, so check their sites.
Heptabase is built for making sense of a topic by placing cards on whiteboards and connecting them. It suits researchers and students who think in space. A phone screen is a tight fit for that work, so mobile use leans toward quick notes and review.
Nemos does the part that comes before. Share an article, screenshot a chart, record a thought in the car, and it is all searchable straight away. Then, when you sit down to think, you can find the raw material by search.
Nemos has no whiteboards, cards on a canvas, or linked maps of ideas. It also has no Mac or Windows app, so it will not replace a desktop thinking tool. It can pass your library to Claude or ChatGPT through its MCP server, if you think with an assistant.
When something else fits better: if visual thinking is the point, stay with Heptabase on a big screen, and use Nemos on your phone only if capture feels slow. The free plan covers unlimited saves with your newest 50 open, so you can test this on a real week of saving before you pay anything.
