Do I need to choose a structure before writing?
No. You can write immediately and organize later with links, tags, and filters.
Next-generation note-taking
Write first.
Then organize.
As connected as Notion, as fast as Apple Notes.
You don't need to build structure before you capture a thought.

Philosophy
When an idea passes by, there's no time to stop and build structure first.
Speed first
You don't pick a folder, template, or category before you write. Capture first - the system handles the rest. Your flow never breaks.
Connection second
Link note-to-note with @id, group with #tags, and route with /projects. The backlink panel traces every link backward.
Solo or team
Local in your browser, Cloud across devices, Team with your crew. One app, three scales.
Features
Everything you need to note fast and think clearly
Backlinks, mentions, recurring tasks, and five note types in one calm workspace.
Backlinks & graph
See how ideas connect without manual linking gymnastics.
Note-to-note links
Type @id — autocomplete bridges notes instantly.
Hashtags & filters
Slice your library with saved views that stay fast.
Task & Reminder handling
Set recurring tasks and timely reminders without extra setup.
Five note types
Structure without rigidity — from quick captures to deep docs.
Custom filters
Combine type, tag, project, priority, and status with AND logic. Saved filters stay in the sidebar.
How it works
From quick capture to connected notes
Three steps to keep momentum while your structure forms in the background.
1Write, send
Type in the input, press Enter. No picking type, folder, or template first.
2Link and tag
Link with @, group with #, add to projects with /. Autocomplete speeds everything up.
3Explore and track
The backlink panel shows the network. Thread view shows the full history. Mini calendar tracks due dates and reminders.
