Notes

Markdown notes with a friendly editor, stored in a format Obsidian and every text editor understand.

Writing

Notes open in View or Edit mode (choose the default in Settings → Notes). Ctrl E switches between them. The toolbar handles bold, italic, headings, lists, checklists, links and more, or you can type Markdown directly.

Properties

Each note has properties at the top: created, tags and categories, and any you add yourself. They’re stored as YAML front matter, with categories written as "[[Name]]" links, the same way Obsidian stores them.

Finding notes

The tabs across the top group your notes by Categories and Tags. Search the list, and sort it by date created or A–Z.

Templates and Today’s note

Templates set the properties and text a new note starts with. Today’s note opens (or creates) a note for the current day.

Archive and trash

Archive notes you want to keep but not see. Deleted notes go to Trash first, so you can bring them back.

AI

With AI turned on, the AI menu on a note can Summarize it, Find tasks in it and add them to Tasks, or Suggest categories. See AI and connections.
