About Roam
As easy to use as a document. As powerful as a graph database. Roam helps you organize your research for the long haul. We believe that writing is a tool for thinking. If we can build a tool for helping people write and organize their ideas more effectively, we can help them have better thoughts and solve otherwise intractable problems.

Athens
Athens is a private, open-source tool for technology pioneers. Dynamically create, connect, and compound your research and documentation using a collaborative knowledge graph. Learn new research workflows, connect with 2,500+ people who love learning, and weigh in on the future of self-hosted knowledge graphs. The problem today is that we are getting drowned in information. If we don't take notes, we forget everything. So we take notes, but then we have too many notes! Search doesn't work. Folders don't work. And no one does tagging. Athens lets you take notes without praying to the search gods, without double-clicking endlessly on folders, and without manual tagging. Athens Research is a remote learning community building the most powerful and transparent, open-source knowledge base; the result is Athens: a free knowledge graph for research and notetaking. Athens is open-source, private, extensible, and community-driven.
