Use infolio for Research Notes, Whiteboards, and Long-Form Writing

See how infolio helps researchers, writers, product thinkers, and creators collect material, map ideas, write documents, search, and sync in one local-first workspace.

Keep project material, drafts, references, and whiteboards in one folder.

Use the document tree for long-term sources, drafts, and retrospectives.

Return to relevant pages through search or recent activity.

Give each research topic a folder

Create a folder for each paper, course, or client project. Collect browser links, screenshots, and quick notes in a reference document for each topic.

  • Add references you use often to favorites.
  • Use whiteboards for argument maps and exploratory thinking.
  • Keep long-term sources, drafts, and archive notes in the document tree.

Move from whiteboard thinking to finished writing

A lot of writing starts with questions, material, and structure rather than a perfect first paragraph. infolio whiteboards help you arrange fragments before turning stable ideas into documents.

Keep drafts and sources in the same folder. Use recent pages or search to return to a reference as you write.

Make search your second navigation

Long research cycles make it unrealistic to remember every folder. infolio search helps you return by keyword, section, and content type.

Cross-device work also matters: capture on the phone, organize on desktop, review on tablet. Sync connects those stages while local-first storage keeps work usable when the network is poor.

FAQ

Is infolio good for papers and long-form writing?

Yes, especially when writing requires sources, outlines, whiteboards, and drafts in one place. If you only need plain Markdown files, Obsidian or Joplin may be more direct.

Can research material sync across devices?

Yes. Premium enables custom sync. Use iCloud on Apple devices or a compatible source such as OSS, S3, or R2.
