ParkourNote is a cloud workspace for researchers and other readers who want papers, books, web pages, videos, feeds, and recordings together with their notes and writing. Materials can be imported into a library, organized with nested tags, and opened alongside notes, feeds, and chat in a tiled workspace.

The reader can transcribe selected pages into editable text and translate it alongside the original. The AI chat can use the page and workspace context to answer questions, search the library and other sources, and create anchored highlights. ParkourNote also supports video notes, meeting recordings and minutes, and Typst or LaTeX writing. It is available in a web app and Chrome extension; its iPhone and iPad app is currently in testing.

ParkourNote imports papers, books, web pages, videos and recordings, transcribes and translates them, and keeps your notes and questions beside the page — in the browser, Chrome and on your phone.

Key Features

Library and Inbox

Import papers, PDFs, EPUB books, Markdown, web pages, videos, recordings, and Typst or LaTeX sources. New items arrive in an Inbox with a suggested tag and a reason; users decide whether to apply the tag, leave the item untagged, snooze it, or archive it.

Feeds

Subscribe to RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds, including journals, arXiv categories, and blogs. Read entries in place and convert an entry into a document when you want to highlight, translate, or ask about it.

Tiled workspaces

Arrange readers, notes, feeds, and chat as tabs in a workspace. Save workspaces with their tabs, reading positions, and chat, and access them on another computer after signing in.

Transcription and translation

Transcribe selected pages into editable documents linked block by block to their positions on the page. Translate into eleven listed languages, with translations displayed below the original or in a second column.

Contextual AI chat

Ask questions using visible pages, attached passages, and the focused note as context. The chat can search the library, web, and arXiv, cite pages, and create editable highlights anchored to a page.

MCP connections

Connect Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, or Codex through ParkourNote's MCP server using OAuth. Connected tools can search and read the library, work with notes and highlights, export citations, and tag papers.

Video notes

Take notes on YouTube or Bilibili videos and uploaded MP4 files. Notes are pinned to the video time and can include a frame; selecting a time chip returns the player to that moment.

Recordings and minutes

Record from the browser or phone. After recording stops, ParkourNote transcribes it and writes minutes whose points link to playable moments in the recording.

Typst and LaTeX writing

Create or upload Typst and LaTeX sources and view compiled pages in the reader. Source edits recompile the page, and chat-assisted edits appear as changes that can be inspected or reverted.

Citations and export

Cite a selection in APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, or IEEE style and export BibTeX, BibLaTeX, RIS, or CSL JSON. Documents can be exported as Markdown, rich text, or a source zip.

Chrome extension

Use the Chrome side panel to ask about a page, clip it, import a paper, or take video notes. The extension uses the same account and library as the web app.

Pricing

Current pricing details are not available from the vendor source.

Use Cases

Research paper reading

Import a paper, transcribe and translate selected pages, keep notes beside the reader, and ask questions grounded in the page or library.

Following research feeds

Subscribe to a journal, arXiv category, or blog, read entries in place, and convert selected entries into documents for further reading and annotation.

Meeting and lecture notes

Record a meeting from the browser or phone and review generated minutes linked to the corresponding moments in the recording. For videos, attach notes to timestamps and frames.

Academic writing

Write and compile Typst or LaTeX documents, inspect compiled pages alongside source, and use chat to propose source edits that can be reviewed or reverted.

AI-assisted library access

Connect Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, or Codex through MCP so a conversation can search and read the ParkourNote library and work with selected notes and papers.

Integrations
