The goal is speed. Get the thought into a bullet before it slips. Organize later.
Every bullet is a block with its own identity. It can be tagged, referenced, dated, typed, moved, embedded — without ever losing its place in the outline.
Bullets are single-line. For longer thinking, indent children underneath. Workflowy-style.
Each day gets its own page automatically. Open the app and you land on today.
Don't think about where a thought belongs. Drop it in the journal. Move it later if it matters.
(( to link to anythingType two open-parens ((. A picker opens with fuzzy search over every bullet in your vault.
Pick one. You've embedded a live reference. It updates if the target changes. Click it to jump.
References are bidirectional: the referenced bullet shows a backlink pointing back at you.
# followed by a word#idea, #followup, #book — anything. Tags are inline and searchable.
The Library's Tags tab shows every tag you've used, sized by frequency — click one to filter the vault down to bullets that carry it.
/ followed by a type name/task — a tracked task with status, due date, priority./event — for something that happened or is scheduled./note — the default plain bullet./draw — a freeform drawing canvas.Different types render differently in the Library views.
Drag a file onto the page, or click Attach at the bottom, and it becomes a bullet like any other. PDFs, images, Office documents, emails (.eml), and more are recognized automatically, and their text is pulled in so they're searchable. See Attachments for the full guide — including how to bring in emails from your mail app.
Click a bullet's circle, or press Cmd+., to zoom in. That bullet becomes the new top of the page.
Great for "I just want to think about this one thing for ten minutes."
Cmd+, zooms out. Cmd+' jumps back home.
#, ##, ### at the start of a bulletFor structuring long bullet trees. Headings are still bullets — they can have children, be moved, be referenced.
