Notes, Links & Research Objects
Write standalone notes, preserve annotations, create explicit links, and add typed research context without leaving your knowledge workspace.
Notes is a primary destination alongside Home, Library, Graph, and Insights. It is the writing workspace for ideas that begin with you rather than with a saved page.
Notes and Daily Notes
Create a standalone note from global Capture or the Notes page. A note has its own detail route and can carry explicit links, backlinks, tasks, reminders, and related material. Home also includes a dated daily note for lightweight working context.
Notes remain searchable and appear in Library and Graph. Imported documents and transcripts become notes too, so they use the same retrieval and connection model.
Explicit Links and Backlinks
Connect owned bookmarks and notes directly. Explicit links are canonical, durable knowledge and remain distinct from relationships Arivu derives from sources, concepts, entities, or optional embeddings.
Backlinks show which other items point to the current one. Derived relationships expose provenance and confidence and can be rebuilt without changing your explicit links.
Annotations
Select archived text in Arivu’s reader to save a quote or add your interpretation. The stored quote remains durable even if the publisher later changes the page. Source jumps are best effort because external text and page structure can move.
The browser extension can also capture selected text on external pages after you explicitly enable inline annotations and grant host access. See Browser Extension Setup.
Typed Research Objects
Projects, people, books, meetings, decisions, and research threads add structured context through type-specific fields. They appear in Library and can participate in the knowledge graph. Raw JSON is not part of the normal creation flow.
Supporting Work
Tasks and reminders can attach to bookmarks or notes, keeping an open loop beside its evidence. They remain supporting tools rather than a project-management system.
