Writing Experience

No distractions, just your thoughts. Toggle Zen Mode to focus on a single line, or use our split-pane workspace to build complex knowledge webs without leaving the keyboard.

Syntax & Shortcuts

Beyond what any text editor offers. Cycle workflow statuses with clickable #tags, auto-sum budgets with a Total: line, evaluate expressions inline with calc(), and insert or edit any date with a single shortcode or click.
