EmistemeType it. Write it.
Same page.
Emisteme is a note-taking app for study and work. Structure your ideas with blocks, write over them with a pen, annotate your PDFs and plan your semester, all on your own computer.
Handwriting
Your pen belongs on the page.
Circle a formula, sketch a diagram next to a paragraph, underline what matters. In Emisteme, handwriting lives on top of your typed notes, not in a separate drawing. Try it on this page.
Physics · Lecture 4
The Carnot cycle
A heat engine turns part of the heat it takes from a hot reservoir into work. No engine between the same two temperatures can do better than:
η = 1 − Tc / Th
- 1. Isothermal expansion
- 2. Adiabatic expansion
- 3. Isothermal compression
- 4. Adiabatic compression
Go ahead: circle, underline, scribble. With a pen, pressure shapes the line.
Project kick-off
Goals, figures and next steps for the first week.
Basic blocks
Blocks
Type /, and keep going.
Tables, equations, to-dos, callouts, code, databases: a few letters after a slash and the block is there. Your hands never leave the keyboard.
A whole semester in one app.
Instead of a notebook, a PDF reader, a spreadsheet and a calendar that never talk to each other.
