Review

“Zettlr has become my primary writing and research environment. The combination of markdown support, citation management and Zettelkasten-style notes is exactly what I needed for academic work.

“Zettlr strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and power. I can keep large documentation projects neatly structured while still enjoying a distraction-free editor.

“Zettlr helps me keep ideas, chapters and research notes all in one place. The tagging and linking features make it easy to connect thoughts and develop storylines.
