Roam Research is a note taking and knowledge development application. Roam uses bi-directional links to connect and reveal relationships between your notes. Its flexibility and list of innovative features mean that it has many other uses within the personal productivity ecosystem as well, on its own or in combination with other apps. These other uses include goal and project management, task management, information management and writing.
Roam’s power comes from its ability to connect and organize your notes and information, act as a central repository for your information and knowledge which can then be utilized in many different areas.

ROAM DEPOT: Random Block & Auto Tag Mode with Abhay Prasanna
ROAM WITH YOUR FAMILY
My 10yo daughter loves writing stories. We find her journals all over the house with character sketches & chapter drafts.
So when she said she wanted to write a book *for real*, I naturally set her up with a Roam graph.
Last week, we completed her first two writing sessions. pic.twitter.com/lQMjJknU1L

HIGHLIGHT & WRITE IN DIFFERENT COLORS
I've published on #RoamDepot a small extension that helps to highlight or write in different colors in @Roamresearch. For the moment, it is keyboard only, and based on the native keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+h, Ctrl+b) so as not to conflict with other hotkeys. Here is a demo:#roam pic.twitter.com/t20tSvrB4j
