What is Trueffles about?

Trueffles is a visual organization and mapping tool – built for the way your brain actually works. You don’t think in long text, folders or bullet points. You think in fragments, questions, and relationships that connected suddenly make sense. Trueffles helps you organize your research, thoughts, and sources visually.

It’s where scattered information becomes clear, connected knowledge.
Whether you’re breaking down a complex topic, prepping for uni or investigating your next big story – Trueffles helps you see how it all connects.

Tinush*Tina Weise

Our non-binary queen of project is Tina, also called Tinush, the fox or organizational talent. Longtime strategic consultant, detective and a curious mind of the first class. Disciplined, dedicated and equipped with multiple skills and - as they call it - a sieve brain. That's when the Trueffles' idea was born. Why not build a platform that presents all knowledge clearly and makes connections easy to grasp? The sieve brain is helped and so is everyone else.

De-ve-lo-per - noun, masculine [the]PHOTOGRAPHY: 1. Watery solution for developing photographs (source Google): A "watery solution" does not apply to our lead developer. Steffen is our rock solid IT hero. He not only has the talent to code the platform and manage everything for the technical implementation, he is an explorer by heart. He is interested in politics, society and more transparency. The best foundation for Trueffles.

Why is it called "Trueffles"?

Trueffles – the combination of "true" and "truffles" – stands for finding information that is not obvious at first glance and being able to directly check the underlying sources. What true or false – Trueffles – is, is mostly a philosophical question these days. What we can do about it, is to directly link the sources to the information we gather. This gives everyone the opportunity to find out easier and quicker, whether the source and the respective information is legitimate.

Your Questions Answered

What is Trueffles?

Trueffles is a collaborative research tool where you can compile, organize and share your information in enhanced mindmaps that show how things are connected.

Why is it called Trueffles?

Trueffles – the combination of "true" and "truffles" – stands for finding information that is not obvious at first glance and being able to directly check the underlying sources. What true or false – Trueffles – is, is mostly a philosophical question these days. What we can do about it, is to directly link the sources to the information we gather. This gives everyone the opportunity to find out easier, whether the source and the respective information is legitimate.

What is Trueffles' vision?

Trueffles is about a simple vision: more collaborative research and fewer individual people sitting behind a computer screen, reading website after website and trying to make connections between each piece of information they find. We want to enable everyone to see and show how everything is connected.

What is the team's motivation?

Our Drive: We want to contribute to a more transparent, understanding and exchanging world. Our Purpose: To connect it all, so everyone understands. Our Mission: We are building a platform that makes it easy to obtain an overview and show how things are connected.

Is Trueffles really free?

Yes, the basic account is for free and comes with all features to try out. If you want to explore more and need more workspaces, upload space or AI credits, you can upgrade to Trueffles Pro.

Is my data secure?

Yes, all of your (and our) data is safely stored on EU servers.

Can I use Trueffles on my phone or tablet?

Trueffles is currently optimized for desktop and laptop computers. While it may open on mobile, the full experience — especially creating and navigating visual maps — works best on a larger screen. We're focused on giving you the best possible clarity and control, and that means starting with desktop-first.
