doXmind – for people who want docs, not all of Notion

Hi HN, I’m Steve, co-founder of doXmind.

We built doXmind for people who want docs and AI, but not all of Notion.

Notion is powerful, but if your main use case is writing, collaboration, and AI help inside documents, it can feel like more than you actually need. You end up inside a much bigger workspace of databases, templates, and project management features, when sometimes all you really want is a clean doc editor with strong AI built in.

So we took a different approach.

In doXmind, AI works directly in the document instead of living in a sidebar chat. It reads the structure of what you’re writing, helps with multi-step workflows like research → draft → revise → format, and applies changes inline. Every AI edit shows up as a diff, so you can review and accept or reject each change instead of getting a black-box rewrite.

You can also upload PDFs, research papers, and style guides into a knowledge base. doXmind searches across those sources, pulls relevant context into the writing flow, and cites what it used.

We’ve also built support for cross-document AI across your files, version history with restore, BYOK, diagram support, presentation mode, and export to Markdown, PDF, and Word.

We’re two co-founders bootstrapping from Toronto. We don’t train on your content.

We’re also running an early-bird Pro plan at $2.99/month.

If you’ve wanted something lighter than Notion for writing-focused work, I’d love to hear what matters most to you in a doc editor.
