RedString Features
Discover the powerful tools RedString offers to help you connect the dots, map complex narratives, and uncover hidden truths.
Versatile Element Types
Embed images directly onto your board. Ideal for photos, screenshots, or visual evidence.
Link to external web pages for quick reference. Store important URLs related to your investigation.
Reference external documents, articles, or files. Keep track of textual evidence and sources.
Represent individuals involved. Track their details, photos, and classify them (e.g., Suspect, Official).
Map out groups, companies, or institutions. Add logos and classify their type (e.g., Government, Corporation).
Formulate hypotheses and speculative ideas. Assign a likelihood (Fringe, Needs Evidence, Hypothesis) to guide your focus.
Jot down quick thoughts, reminders, or miscellaneous pieces of information as text notes.
Core Investigation Tools
Freely position and organize your information visually on an expansive corkboard-style canvas.
Add various information nodes: Images, Links, Documents, Persons, Organizations, Notes, and Theories to build your case.
Detail each element with labels, descriptions, and type-specific data like URLs, classifications (e.g., Suspect, Corporation), and theory likelihoods.
Draw connections between elements to map relationships, timelines, and hierarchies with ease.
Classify links as 'Confirmed,' 'Unsubstantiated,' or 'Disinformation' to represent the nature and reliability of relationships.
Attach detailed notes and evidence directly to each connection, substantiating your inferences and findings.
Specify how closely related elements are, from direct links (0 degrees) to more distant or speculative connections (4+).
Organization & Clarity
Organize complex boards using layers. Create, name, toggle visibility, and switch between layers to focus your investigation.
Quickly show or hide entire categories of elements (e.g., hide all 'Notes' to focus on 'Persons' and 'Organizations') for a clearer view.
AI-Powered Insights
Leverage AI to analyze your board and suggest new, plausible connections between existing elements, complete with explanations and confidence scores. (Pro Feature)
