Welcome

This is your workspace. Five notes, three folders, and nothing you have to keep.

Where things are

Guides explain the editor. Projects is a worked example. Ideas is somewhere to be untidy.

01features

Notes, journal, and tasks. One app, everything links to everything.

Every feature

⌘ /toggle source

A rich editor that speaks Markdown

Type `# `, `- `, or `**bold**` and it just works. Drop into raw Markdown whenever you want the source back.

dgo to date

A journal that remembers

One entry per day with a mood, a calendar, and what you wrote a week, a month, and a year ago.

# $ @reference anything

Tags, people, and note links

#tags, $people, and @note links resolve to real entities. Rename one and every reference follows.

autoon every save

Git history you never set up

Every save is versioned in the background, off the editing path. Diff any revision, restore any version.

⌘ ⇧ Llock folder

Locked notes and sealed sync

Lock a note or a folder behind a PIN. Turn on sync and the server only ever holds bytes it cannot read.

⌘ Kcommand palette

Every action is one keystroke away

Full-text search, tabs, split view, vim mode, and a rebindable shortcut for everything in the app.
