The Linkbook system combines paper and digital tools to build a living web of your thoughts — one link at a time.
Try Linkbooks.app FreeWatch this short series to learn why and how to make a Linkbook.
A Linkbook is a simple paper system for connecting ideas. Each entry in your notebook gets a number. When two ideas relate, you link their numbers. The result is a web of ideas — a tangible, evolving hypertext on paper.
Linkbooks.app gives you searchable, OCR-backed digital backups of your notebooks, so your paper notes are always available and connected.
I'm Michael Herrick, a designer and notebook obsessive. I built the Linkbook because I wanted a paper system as flexible as the web — and a digital archive that stays out of the way. The Linkbook began as a personal experiment in thinking through links, and now I'm sharing it so others can build their own networks of thought.
