My current workflow needs the following features
- Daily jots and from that making reminders and to-do lists
- Making mind maps to create relations between strings
- Cross-platform without losing features
- Integration with Zotero or GitHub
- To dump any thoughts or ideas on the go and reflect on it later
- to support latex not just maths but whole typesetting if possible
- weekly history or review summary should be generated.

While it might be challenging to find a single application that covers every aspect perfectly, a combination of tools might serve your purpose effectively. Here are some suggestions:
1. Notion
