What is LimanDoc?
LimanDoc is a knowledge visualization tool designed to enhance productivity by replacing traditional folder hierarchies with an infinite zoomable canvas. Users can create mind maps and diagrams with inner canvases, allowing for a more intuitive and flexible way to structure documentation and files. The tool supports various file formats including PDFs, images, and markdown files, which are rendered directly on the canvas. Files stored in a vault appear as icons that can be arranged visually, and any edits made to files—even outside the app—are synced immediately.
LimanDoc is available on MacOS, Linux, and Windows, with mobile support coming soon. It is offline-first and uses peer-to-peer synchronization, ensuring data privacy without central servers. The app is currently in Alpha and will always remain free, with an optional Lifetime Ownership plan for additional features like automatic backups and priority support.
