Card
Save ideas, sources, books, people, events, and open questions as cards.
A visual workspace for reading, sources, and research context.
Vicovio
Create cards, connect ideas, and organize research as it grows.
- Source-based
- Keep readings, notes, and references close to your thinking.
- Visual
- Cards, groups, and bookshelves stay connected in one workspace.
- Historical
- Knowledge takes shape in history. Memory unfolds in time.
Vicovio
Start with one card, then add structure as your research grows.
Vicovio does not ask you to design a full system before you begin. Capture an idea, a book, or a source first. When patterns appear, organize them with groups, bookshelves, and visual links.
Group
When cards start forming relationships, organize them with groups instead of fixed folders.
Bookshelf
Open a bookshelf card to keep related books, themes, and research questions together.
Context
Add context when you need it, so the project grows with the work itself.
Workspace
Every project can grow from a simple canvas into a structured workspace.
Vicovio is not primarily a file manager. Its core is the structure inside a project: cards can be moved, linked, grouped, and expanded into bookshelves when your research needs more context.
Cards / Groups / Bookshelves
Don’t force your research into fixed categories.
Cards can stand alone, or be linked, grouped, or placed into bookshelf context. A bookshelf is not decoration. It is an expandable structure for reading, sources, and questions.
- Cards hold a single object, idea, or source.
- Groups organize context that has already emerged, without deciding every category in advance.
- Bookshelf cards gather related books and reading questions in one place.
How It Grows
Stay simple when the work is simple. Add tools when the research needs them.
Start small
Begin by creating cards. You do not need to learn the whole system first.
Reveal structure
As cards form groups and patterns, related features appear step by step.
Keep control
You decide when relationships are created. Vicovio does not force a rigid system.
Growth Model
More tools appear when your research needs them.
Vicovio does not spread every tool out at once. With a few cards, it stays a clear canvas. As you build groups, bookshelves, and research context, more advanced capabilities become available.
