Themes & Settings
44 themes, and every setting in the app.
Make the app feel like yours — a look, a layout, and full say over how the editor behaves. Where files live on disk is covered in File format & storage.
Themes
44 themes ship in the box — switch instantly from settings, no restart required:
- 7 built-in dark themes — Ocean, Amethyst, Emerald, Amber, Crimson, Gold, Penguin
- 7 built-in light themes — Sky, Peach, Lavender, Mint, Blush, Butter, Panda
- 30 developer themes, faithful recreations of familiar editor color schemes — Gruvbox, Dracula, Nord, Monokai Pro, Solarized, One Dark, Catppuccin, Tokyo Night, Ayu, Night Owl, Everforest, Kanagawa, Rosé Pine, Horizon, Flexoki, Ferra, Ashen, and more, most with both a dark and light variant
On macOS, switching themes also re-tints the native window title bar to match, so the whole window feels like one surface instead of an app floating inside stock chrome.
Settings
Everything is searchable directly with settings: / s: — you never have to hunt through menus for a checkbox. The main groups:
| Section | Covers |
|---|---|
| Home Screen | Layout — Grid, List, Last Note, Recent Cards, Daily Note, Graph, or Calendar |
| Mind maps | Growth direction — branches grow right or down |
| Boards | Completed tasks stay put, jump to the top, or jump to the bottom |
| Editor | Left/right padding, backlinks, suggest note links while typing, word counter |
| Sidebar | Note sort order — Alphabetical, Most Recently Opened, Most Recently Made, Most Frequently Opened |
| File Manager | Default folder for new notes |
| Daily Notes | On/off (per vault), default folder |
| Taskbar | Show/hide, position (left, right, top, or bottom). Hiding it enables the keyboard-only sidebar. |
| Slash Commands | Date format for /date — long, short, numeric, or ISO |
| About | App version, Check for Updates, release notes |
The word counter is worth a special mention: select text and it switches to showing stats for just the selection, and its words-per-minute figure is measured against your actual active typing time, not wall-clock time — so stepping away to think doesn’t tank your number.
Nothing here is required to use the app well — it exists to make a vault feel like yours, not to gate a feature.
Vaults
You can have as many vaults as you like. Switch, create, or delete one from the vault button at the bottom of the sidebar, or with the vault: / v: search command. Each vault keeps its own pins, tags, properties, backlinks, daily-notes setting, and custom slash commands — nothing leaks between them when you switch.
To open a folder of notes you already have, see Bring your notes.
