Card
Save ideas, sources, books, people, events, and open questions as cards.
A visual workspace for reading, sources, and project 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.
- Temporal
- Place ideas, events, and readings in a timeline when time matters.
Vicovio
Start with one card, then let structure grow with your research.
Begin with an idea, a book, or a source. 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
Let structure emerge from your research.
Cards can stand alone, or be linked, grouped, or placed into bookshelf context. Bookshelves give readings, sources, and questions a shared structure.
- 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 structure when the research needs it.
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
Create relationships at your own pace, as the shape of the project becomes clear.
Growth Model
Add more structure when your research needs it.
Vicovio starts as a clear canvas. As you build groups, bookshelves, and project context, the workspace can carry more advanced research structures.
