Rambling: using Kilonotes for commonplacing and story boards 🔗

Downloaded Kilonotes the other day and it's like a 6/10 but still I've been enjoying it quite a lot and using it so much since i got it.

I'm a sort of a huge 'memory' hoarder and I LOVE storing and keeping track and referring to stuff that I enjoy, whatever that may be.

Been wanting for a while something that I could use to just chuck in loosely whatever I wanted to 'keep', like thoughts, artworks, quotes, pictures, messages, etcetcetc and the app has been working well for that. Its like a digital commonplace really.

TBF the fact that i cannot backup Kilonotes SUCKS sO MUCH and it has many more limitations - its def v poor still but hell, it does what i want it to do plus i can pdf download everything so that works for me for now

But yeah its been working so great.

I got a commonplace journal notebook where I just chuck in whatever , like me doing airdry clay, sticker orders that come in, cute interactions over tumblr, me being depressed, all the good and random stuff.

But i also created a notebook for one of my stories and ive been LOVING it cause for once i can just have a centralised space for all the reference material i find over the internet- usually id just have stuff saved on my camera roll (which ofc id never look at again) or pinned on pinterest or saved on ig or twitter and it just DOESNT work but this??

I love this <3 ; I can just have sections and slap pictures and reference material and its great cause it allows for better visualisation.

I had a bunch of outfits saved and ytd was bored so i created these simple oc character design boards and i loveee them. im such a visual person i just need to SEE things constantly to work as i wish to and this helps with that

but yeah i truly wish they develop it more cause i think it has Sooooo much potential and its already great ; have also tried other similar apps and ugh i hated them sm so theres that

(Also how cute and somewhat terrible is my dorohedoro clipart ackkk)

Side Note: im a HEAVY Notion user btw and im v much an expert at it by now, but its a bit... 'stiff' for me; like i need to SIT down to play with it, to create the tables and formulas and sort the clumns and whatnot, like it just needs effort which i appreciate actually! but it doesnt serve me in this case... ++ the app sucks. There's also canva but i literally CANNOT use canva regularly, I usually just use it to do whatever quick design or get some sort of reference material, but thats it. It's just also very... 'stiff' to me. Idk how to explain it. I just cant be quick with it, it doesnt work like that ++ i hate the constant reminder that I need to pay to use all the reference library it pisses me off. but i appreciate it for what it is ive also been using it for years.

i’ve been revising for my upcoming test and using @kilonotes has been great for math sprints and short note-taking! ✍🏼 the best part is that they are absolutely free for all ios users to download! they have your basic features, plus you can customise your notebook covers & paper (which is a nice touch)! it’s simple to use, and i think it’s the perfect app to use if you are just starting to digitally take notes! ✨ #kilonotes #notetaking #digitalplanner | ad https://www.instagram.com/p/CTW_inCp8GK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Durian and Plum based on the “Kiki and Boba” association example. They are orphans that grew up in an orphanage together, but it was hard for them to get adopted because the potential families only wanted one kid. Didn’t matter though! They’d still find a way to escape and meet up no matter what! They’re a double package, cant have one without the other. They grew out of the foster system<; with no money, nor brains they still find a way to survive and understand the world around them. Because while the odds of a successful life are against them, they still have each other.

Durian is overly active, stupid and impulsive while Plum is the hesitat, slightly less stupid one that reins her back.

PLEASE ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM!!!!!

How I Stopped Losing My Mind (and My Notes) in Med School 📚🤓

How I Stopped Losing My Mind (and My Notes) in Med School 📚🤓

If you’re a med student, you know the feeling. It’s 11:30 PM, you’re on your third cup of coffee, and you’re staring at a 70-slide pharmacology lecture that you swear was written in ancient hieroglyphics.

For the first two years, I tried everything. Paper notebooks? Too heavy. Standard PDF readers? Too clunky for when I need to quickly diagram a nerve pathway. I spent way too much time hunting for the best notetaking app for students 2026 because I wasn't just looking for a way to write, I was looking for a way to survive the sheer volume of content. I eventually settled on Kilonotes , and honestly? It’s been a bit of a lifesaver. Here is how I’ve been using it to make back to school season feel like a fresh start instead of an impending doom. My "Low-Pressure" Workflow In med school, you don’t have time to be a digital artist, but there is something about having notes that are actually pleasant to look at. When I’m reviewing for boards or just trying to get through a daily module, I find that a clean, organized page makes the information sink in better. I’ve been using Kilonotes as my primary aesthetic notes app for ipad/android, and the balance is just right. It’s not cluttered with a million useless features, but it has exactly what I need to stay sane

Customizing the Chaos: I use a specific color-coding system (red for "do not forget this for the test," blue for clinical relevance, green for diagrams). Being able to drop in a quick sticker or move around my handwritten notes with the lasso tool means I can actually keep my pages organized, even when I’m speed-writing through a lecture. The AI Agent for Kilonotes: This is the game-changer. When I’m drowning in a massive, dense research paper, I’ll let the AI help me summarize the main clinical points. It’s not about cheating—it’s about knowing what to focus on when my brain is already at its limit. Audio Recording: This saved my life during a few long-winded lectures where I missed a crucial detail. Being able to record the audio and sync it to my writing is a lifesaver when I’m reviewing weeks later.

A Note to My Fellow Students📚

Look, don't stress if your notes aren't perfect. We’re in this to learn medicine, not to win a calligraphy contest. My advice for this year? Focus on finding a system that works for you. If that means using Kilonotes to combine your digital slides with your own handwritten thoughts, do that. If it means keeping it simple, do that. Just make sure that by the time you're heading back to school , you have a place where all your "second brain" info lives. It makes the 11 PM panic sessions so much easier to handle when you know exactly where your notes are.

How is everyone else keeping track of their lecture volume this year? Are you a "digital-only" person, or are you still holding onto a physical notebook? Let’s talk about it below.
