Cluing (previously known as Collabwriting) is a solid choice for teams building a shared research workspace, especially with its neat browser extension and native MCP server for frontier AI models. But its recent rebranding can cause some confusion, and the higher pricing tiers might be too steep if you just want to organize personal research or web clippings.
If you find Cluing's upper tiers too expensive or you prefer a different approach to personal knowledge management, there are plenty of other ways to capture and organize your research. You might want a tool that lives entirely on your local machine for privacy, one that handles audio and video sources better, or a collaborative canvas that mixes documents with whiteboards. Here are some of the best alternatives to consider for your note-taking and research needs.
