What is DenkWerkZeug?

“What Excel is for numbers, Denkwerkzeug is for Thoughts, Snippets and Arguments.”

Sort, Structure, Connect

• Thoughts and Arguments: Reach complex decisions faster and with higher precision (e.g. when making expensive purchases, making career choices or evaluating business ideas)
• Personal Knowledge Management: Note your thoughts short and simple. Then add links and tags, as desired. This enhanced the value of your entry: It becomes easier to find and use it in queries.
• Complex Systems: Manage complex systems or the documentation for one in Denkwerkzeug. E.g. you can model a software system and look at all layers of abstraction in a single tool.
• A discussion about further use cases can be found here.
