What Nodebook is
Nodebook combines mind mapping with built-in PDF, EPUB, and TXT reading for study and document work. Users can import documents, highlight text or images, and turn selected passages into draggable nodes on an infinite canvas, with links back to the source. The listed formats also include HTML, while video, audio, and web articles can be imported by URL or text-fragment link. Nodebook says scanned-PDF OCR supports 12 languages, and formula OCR converts handwritten or printed formulas to LaTeX. Export formats listed include PNG, PDF, FreeMind, Word, and MS Office, depending on the feature or plan. The native app works offline; offline use is listed for Windows, Android, and iOS. The free plan includes document reading, limited text snippets, offline work, and mind-map preview. Nodebook Plus is listed at $39.99, paid once, with a one-time purchase note, and includes full mind-map editing, flashcards, export, and offline use. Nodebook Max is $8.99 a month, billed monthly, with cloud sync, collaboration, and online version history; the site also lists $7.49/month when paid yearly upfront. A 14-day trial is listed.
