Notes

Organize with tags, folders, and links

Three lightweight systems that combine: folders for hierarchy, tags for facets, and links for graph.

Folders

Folders give you a tree. Most people want a shallow one — two levels is usually enough. Use folders for the big buckets ("Work", "Personal", "Reference") and tags for everything else.

Tags

  • Type # followed by a word to add a tag (see "Add tags with #").
  • Tags can be nested with /: #work/client-a, #work/client-b.
  • The same note can carry any number of tags across any number of dimensions.

Links and backlinks

Type @ and start typing a note title to link it (see "Link notes with @"). Todrise shows backlinks on the linked note so the graph goes both ways.
