†The change to Zettlr is in Preferences -> Display -> 'If present, use the first level 1 heading as the filename.' This is so that note titles appear in the file listing panel in the Zettlr editor in addition to file names, which are timestamps with the md (markdown) extension. *I believe that Mendeley will work in place of Zotero with the BetterBibTeX plugin for Zotero, according to this, but I haven't checked. For this configuration I use the note format below (which I am tweaking). † The setup is a little more involved than installing Word. * This works almost out-of-the-box, with one minor change to Zettlr. If you are using Windows, I use Zettlr+Pandoc+MikTeX+Zotero+BetterBibTeX. If you are using MacOS, I recommend The Archive-others here have experience with this.

Thanks very much in advance for your help!Ģ0210930124708 Reply to on Zettelkasten software However, looking at the earlier thread on Evernote, it seemed to get a bit technical with people figuring out plug-ins and fixes - I wonder if there's software I will find more simple and intuitive for Zettlekasten. It would be nice if I could click from my note on an article to easily see the article itself. I have seen that some people use Evernote for Zettelkasten and I wonder if that's the way to go, to avoid proliferating software. Since I already have several programs in this process, my top consideration for Zettelkasten software is that it be intuitive and work out-of-the-box without me having to hack any fixes. As you can see, something to process and organize notes and move them smoothly to the writing process is greatly needed. My existing workflow involves 1) highlighting and commenting on scholarly papers and ebooks in Mendeley 2) highlighting and scribbling in the margin of hard copy books 3) saving popular press articles to Evernote from Chrome. I feel like I'll learn the principles better if I can immediately start implementing the practices, and that means I need to choose what software I'm going to use (definitely not a card-and-box system - my handwriting isn't up to the task).

Hi, brand new Zettelkaster here - as in, I've been reading blogs about it and just ordered How to Take Smart Notes but I haven't started implementing anything yet.
