Articles and cards can be linked across projects with inline references and bidirectional links. For visual planning, the Graph offers Mind Map, Plot of Story, and Aerial views, alongside a timeline for story design, historical research, and project management.

PDF tools support annotation and translation in 92 languages while preserving original formatting. Exports include PDF, Word, TXT, Markdown, PNG, and ePub. Lattics runs on web, Windows, macOS, and iOS, and works offline. Content is stored locally by default without registration or login; users may choose third-party cloud sync with end-to-end encryption. It offers a free plan, with Basic limits of 3 PDF translations and 3 OCR recognitions per 24 hours, plus 50 graph and timeline nodes per project.

Turtl is a collaborative notebook for organizing bookmarks, passwords, files, shopping lists, and other notes. It supports text, bookmark, password, image, and document notes, with full-text search, tag filtering, Markdown, and TeX math rendering. Users can create Spaces, choose collaborators, and set permissions from read-only access through full ownership. Turtl says data is encrypted in the app before leaving the device, using keys derived from the user's email and password. Shared items get separate random keys, so recipients can unlock only the item shared with them. The service warns that an intercepted email invitation could expose a shared Space if its secret is not communicated separately. Users can import or export their full profile for backup or migration, and can install the open-source server to host their own data. Listed platforms include Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, with Chrome and Firefox bookmarking extensions; offline access is supported. Premium costs $3/mo and includes 10GB note data and 10 collaborators per Space; Business costs $8/mo and includes 50GB and dedicated support.
