Built around
your writing.

From the first sentence to the final edit. A closer look at the tools that help you get there.

Start writing

01 / Write

Plain text.
Room for more.

Start typing in Markdown. Add a heading, make a list, or drop in a code block without leaving your draft.

# A small beginning

A little space to **think**.

One note, two ways to look at it. Try the preview.

02 / Focus

Stay with
the next sentence.

Focus mode dims the text around the sentence or paragraph you’re working on. Keep your place in a longer draft.

Want more space? Zen mode hides the sidebars so your writing fills the window.

The shape of a thought.md

Some ideas need a little time. A few words on a page are enough to begin.

Stay with the thought in front of you. Give it room to become something clearer.

The rest can wait until you’re ready.

Try sentence or paragraph focus.

03 / Organize

A place for
each train of thought.

Separate work and personal writing into workspaces. Keep a project’s notes in folders, and drag those folders into the order that suits you.

Write tags like #ideas or #ideas/essays to connect notes across folders. Nested tags let you browse a whole topic or a smaller branch.

Connect notes with wikilinks when one idea leads to another, even across workspaces.

04 / Templates

A familiar start.
Every time.

Save reusable Markdown for journals, meeting notes, or project briefs. Choose a template for one note, or set a folder default.

Add @date or @datetime to fill in the local date or time when a note is created. Type @ in the editor to insert either value while writing.

Try the example. Each new note gets its own copy, with the date filled in.

05 / Tasks

Find the next step
in your notes.

Open a folder’s Tasks tab and choose “Find tasks” to collect actions from its 25 most recently updated notes. AI functions must be enabled for each note you want to scan.

Tasks are grouped under collapsible note headings. Search the list, switch between All, Open, and Done, and check off work as you finish it.

Click a task to open its note and select the source passage. Edit its wording or show passages from the row’s controls. Choose Refresh to scan again; your edits and completed tasks are kept.

06 / AI writing

Another perspective.
Still your words.

Select a passage and ask AI to refine it. Give it instructions for the note’s tone or context.

Use “Help me start” to turn rough thoughts into an outline or opening. Use “Help me finish” for a draft review with suggestions for clarity, repetition, and structure.

Review the changes before applying them. Accept what helps, skip what doesn’t. AI is optional.

07 / Privacy

Private thoughts. A place of their own.

Encrypt a note’s title and text on your device before they’re saved. Set a folder or workspace to encrypt new notes by default.

Saved versions of encrypted notes stay encrypted, too. Keep your encryption key somewhere safe so you can read them again.

AI is off by default for encrypted notes. If you enable it, your text is sent to an external AI service.

Your note’s text, encrypted before it’s saved.

The little things, too.

Save as you go.

Changes save automatically. The editor shows when your note is saved.

Make it familiar.

Choose a light or dark theme. Turn on Vim mode if that’s how you like to edit.

Format as you write.

Use the formatting toolbar or keyboard shortcuts for headings, lists, links, and more.

See your progress.

Check the word count and estimated reading time as your draft grows.

Add more than words.

Include images, links, task lists, and highlighted code in your notes.

Share a finished note.

Create a public link to a note, with optional password protection.

Return to an earlier draft.

Preview saved versions in edit history and restore an earlier one. The version you replace stays in history, too.

Take your writing with you.

Download a note as Markdown for further editing or as a formatted PDF to share.

See the bigger picture.

Browse All notes across folders in your workspace. Search and sort the list to find what you need.

Make room for your next idea.
