Databyss
Databyss is a free, open-source application for taking notes, managing bibliographical sources, and publishing collections online. Databyss 3 is a native desktop app for macOS and Windows, with listed downloads for Apple Silicon Macs, Intel Macs, and Windows 10+. Notes and other data stay on the user’s hard drive; the site describes them as 100% private. The app stores reference material and PDFs, and can export bibliographies and citations in major styles. Its search connects notes, topics, sources, authors, and collections. Users can publish collections to shareable URLs, which other Databyss users can import. Mobile access is limited to read-only pages, with no search. Databyss is associated with the Databyss Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization focused on open and equitable infrastructure for humanities and digital humanities work. Team collaboration is listed. The Databyss plan costs nothing, with no free trial.
