Made for researchersSources, claims and drafts, side by side.
A thesis is an argument with evidence. Put the evidence on a board, draw the lines that make the argument, and write the chapter right next to it.

Sources
the forest path, day 4
A 90-minute walk in nature cut rumination. The same walk in the city didn't.
Argument
Twenty minutes outside a day measurably lowers stress.
Is it the trees, or just time away from screens?
Writing
Chapter 2: Why green matters
Cities are getting denser and our days more indoor. Yet the evidence keeps pointing outside: a short walk among trees changes how we think…

field notes
Thesis: time in natureSee the whole argument.
Time outdoors lowers stress.
A walk in nature cut rumination.
The effect held with phones away.
Trees, or just no screens?
Draw how the evidence connects.
A study supports a claim; a counterpoint pushes back. Label every arrow, and the structure of the chapter is there before the prose.

Questions
How is this different from a reference manager?+
A reference manager files citations. untitled is where you think with them: findings, photos and drafts on one board, with the lines between them. Keep your references where they are and bring the ideas here.
Can I add PDFs?+
Yes. Drop a PDF and its first page pins to the board; double-click it to read every page, or download it. A Word document becomes a document card you can edit, footnotes and tables included, and downloads as Word again whenever you need it.
Can I share a board?+
Yes. Turn on a board's link and anyone with it can look, no account needed. Signed in, they can ask to edit it with you, live, once you approve them (that takes untitled Plus). You can also export a board as one file for someone to import, or publish it as your page at untitled.cards/@you, for anyone to open.
Is untitled free?+
Yes, for your own boards: notes, photos, videos, PDFs, documents and sync across your devices (2 GB of photos, videos and files), with no ads and no card needed. The frog draws ten doodles a day with a free account, and you can publish a board as your page. untitled Plus, a paid plan, adds editing together with the people you let in, comments, 50 GB for photos, videos and files, thirty doodles a day, and your page at your own domain without the badge.
