Stop flattening your thinking
Linear notes are tidy until your idea gets interesting.
Treetor keeps the speed of plain text, then adds the missing shape: books, branches, and items you can grow without turning every thought into a file-management chore.
Write without noise
A calm desktop editor that keeps attention on the words and the hierarchy.
Leave with clean files
Export the same tree to practical formats people and tools already understand.
The shape of serious notes
From spark to structured draft.
Treetor is built around one simple model: organize your work as a tree, then write in each node like a normal note.
Books
Keep a complete project, topic, or body of work together.
Branches
Open the part of the idea you need now, without losing the whole map.
Items
Write small, rearrange easily, and let the document grow by intention.
Keyboard-first outlining
Create, move, and reshape ideas without reaching for the mouse.
Treetor is designed for the moment when your thinking is moving faster than your hands. Add new items, reorder them, promote or nest them, and move between branches with direct keyboard bindings.
