Welcome

Datalith manages a local Vault, a folder of files, and gives you derived ways to find, link, and edit its contents. You are reading Datalith Documentation, a read-only Vault included with the app.

To write your own notes, choose Open a new vault in the vault selector and open a personal folder.

Start with the Tour.todotxt checklist, or read what you need:

• Basics: what a Vault is and how files, tabs, and the sidebar work
• Search: find files and their contents
• Shortcuts: the keybindings that make Datalith fast
• Settings: themes and display options
• formats/Properties: structured properties at the top of a file
• formats/Markdown: the Markdown flavour used here
• formats/bases/Overview: data-driven views; see graphs in particular
• formats/TodoTxt: manage tasks in todo.txt format

Open Overview.base to see a graph of this Vault colored by category, and Tour.todotxt for a checklist of things to explore.
