A country house: from plot photos to a brief for the architect
Forty screenshots, three AI chats and one plot photo turn into a brief the architect can read.
Who Kartoteq is for.
Nine situations, from a country house to a product team. Each one has a person, a notebook structure you can copy, and the steps they took.
We kept noticing the same thing when we talked to people about their projects. A house, a store, a thesis chapter, a charity run: none of them had a single source. The important details arrived on different days, in different apps, from different people, and the person in the middle was the only place they met.
The nine pages below are built around that person. Each one tells a short story with a name, a deadline and a number of files, and then shows how the notebook is laid out and what to do in it step by step.
Pick the one that looks like your week
If you are planning something alone, start with the house or the move. If there are two of you and a launch date, read the store. If you write for a living, the analysis and the research pages are closer. None of the structures are fixed: rename the sections to the words you already use and delete the ones you do not need.
An online store: from a supplier spreadsheet to a launch plan
Two founders, twenty-four products and six weeks. One notebook where the catalogue, the delivery rules and the decisions live together.
Analysis: from twelve sources to a conclusion anyone can check
Three interviews, an eighty-page report and a spreadsheet become a note with a path from every claim back to its evidence.
Consulting: back into a client project in ten minutes, not a morning
Four clients, one head. A notebook per engagement keeps the brief, the meetings and the reasons together, and your own methods stay yours.
A product team: from eight interviews to a spec that remembers why
Five people, one feature, three weeks. The customer quotes, the sketches and the final decision stay in one notebook the whole team can read.
Learning and research: from sixty saved papers to one argument
A folder of unread PDFs is not knowledge. A notebook where every source has a question next to it is.
A studio: from a hundred references to one direction the client signed
Four designers, three directions, one review. The notebook keeps the brief next to every image and the reason next to every choice.
A community: the next organiser starts from what you already know
Twelve volunteers, a venue that changes every year and a coordinator who moved away. The notebook remembers what the people cannot.
Moving to another city: thirty listings, three quotes, one decision
A long personal project, with a family and a deadline, needs one place where a passing thought can become the next concrete step.
Start with one notebook.
The Personal plan is free: notes, files and search. AI and shared notebooks can be added later, when a project needs them.
