Bold is a button or menu item as it reads on screen. /table is something to type, and → shows what you get: /table → a table. Keys are for Mac; on Windows use Ctrl for ⌘ and Alt for ⌥.
/checkbox → a task. Add a couple more under it and indent them with Tab → the top one gets a bar showing how much is done. Tick one → it sinks below the open ones. Tick every sub-task → the top one ticks itself; tick the top one → all of its sub-tasks get ticked too (unticking works the same way).
Right-click a column header → the column window. Add options in Options — say Done, In progress, Planned → Save → cells with those values become coloured tags. In the same window: ↑ Ascending / ↓ Descending (dates and numbers by value), Fill the whole column and the Checkboxes switch.
Select a word → right-click → Link to block… → pick a paragraph or a heading (this note's first, type to search every note) → the word becomes a link with an arrow: ↑ / ↓ — a spot in this note, → — in another one. A click scrolls there and blinks it yellow twice; another note opens in a new tab. The other way round: select some words → right-click → Copy link to these words → paste it anywhere → a click lights up exactly those words. Hover a paragraph that links point to → a faint 🔗 shows where they come from.
/alarm → Save → an ALARM chip appears in the line; ⚙ on the chip opens it again. At the set time a banner pops up over the editor: Open — go to the line, Snooze 10 min — later. Settings → Editor → Reminders on your phone → Connect → alarms go to a Google calendar of their own and ring on your phone, even with Voidless closed.
At the foot of the sidebar → YAML → + New template → folder Tasks, field status with the value [todo, doing, done] → Done. A new note in Tasks gets these fields at once — a panel at the top of the note shows them; a click on doing changes the status. Update Metadata adds the fields to the folder's older notes too.
Right-click Tasks → New kanban → every status from the template becomes a column. Drag a card to another column → the status in the note changes. + New card under a column makes a note with that status.
Click a card → it opens beside the board, ready to write in; Esc closes it. From the keyboard: arrows move between cards, Space shows or hides a card, ⌥← / ⌥→ moves it to the next column. Right-click a card → move, rename, delete. Table on the board's bar → notes as rows; ▾ in a column header fills that field for all of them, Filter… and Folders narrow the list.
At the foot of the sidebar → Node → a canvas. Drag blocks from the right and link them: where notes come from (On save, On schedule, Made today, Ticked links, From ⌘P — or a note's right-click menu), filters that split them into yes and no (YAML field, Tag, Date, Tasks…), then what happens to them (Create note + Add text, Move, Set field, Rename, Log a line, Reminder, List). The numbers on the ports show what Run now would touch; Report lists it note by note and keeps the past runs with Undo. The AI block puts Claude's version below each note — ⌘P → Apply AI suggestion compares and takes only what you tick. Not sure where to start? Examples. Every block, how they link and ready-made chains → Node blocks.
At the foot of the sidebar → Habits → + new habit → Walk → click the days you did it. The ring on the left shows the month at a glance; Year gives a percentage for every month.
/draw → an Excalidraw board right in the note: shapes, arrows, text. /sheet → a spreadsheet with formulas such as =SUM(B1:B3). Both are saved inside the note itself.
It needs a key: Settings → Plugins → Claude API key. Select a paragraph → right-click → ✨ AI: improve text (or / → AI: improve text) → tick Improve and Fix grammar → Submit → Insert below, or Show diff… → tick what you want → Apply to note. The AI itself never deletes anything. At the foot of the sidebar → AI → What did I plan for October? → Ask: the AI reads your notes and answers with links to them; Save as note keeps the answer.
Right-click a folder or a note → Set color and Set icon → a colour and an emoji by its name. They're stored in the vault itself and move with it to another computer.
At the foot of the sidebar → Focus → a timer in 10-minute steps (or No timer), Turn the sound off, Hold the editor's alarms, on a Mac Do Not Disturb on the Mac and iPhone → Start. The editor fills the whole screen (on Windows over the taskbar), mail and chat sounds go quiet, @⏰ alarms wait until you're done, and with Do Not Disturb the iPhone goes quiet too. Esc twice leaves early.
/ or ⌘P → Descartes square → a square in the note, and its window opens: the decision on top, then four questions — what will and won't happen if you do it, and if you don't. Add answers and rate each 1–10 → the sums for and against and the verdict (Do it, Leave it as it is or A draw) change as you type. Esc, ⌘Enter, Done or a click outside writes it into the note; a click on the square opens it again. In the file it's plain headings and a list, so Obsidian shows it too.
The vault is plain files: sync it with iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive for desktop or Syncthing. Edited a note on two computers and Dropbox or Syncthing left a conflict copy (or Voidless did, when the note changed on disk while you were typing)? The sidebar marks it ⚠ conflict → click it → Conflict detected: both versions line by line, the differences coloured → Keep original, Keep conflict copy or Decide later.
