Notes

A note in Zettel Notes is a plain-text file with a supported extension (e.g. md, org, txt). Zettel Notes indexes every file in a repository for fast search.

Edits are saved directly to the file, so any other app can read your notes and you are never locked in.

Tip

For full list of supported file extensions, checkout Repository

View mode shows the rendered Markdown. Its layout depends on the note type.

Edit mode is where you write with Markdown formatting and insert tags, authors and links. See also Zettelkasten method.
