Kryton

Your first notes

Kryton is logged-in and empty. Time to put something in it.

1. Make a note

Section titled “1. Make a note”

In the left sidebar, click the + next to FILES (or hit ⌘⇧N). A new note opens, focused on the title.

Kryton dashboard with sidebar tree and command palette button highlighted 12345
  1. Command palette — search and jump anywhere (⌘K).
  2. New note button (⌘⇧N).
  3. Toggle light / dark theme.
  4. Top-level sections: All notes, Daily note, Graph view, Tags.
  5. Files: folders and notes. Right-click for rename, move, delete.

Give it a name (no need to type .md) and press Enter.

2. Write some markdown

Section titled “2. Write some markdown”

Kryton is plain markdown. Headings (#, ##), lists (-, 1.), code (`), bold (**bold**) — all standard. The toolbar above the editor inserts these for you if you would rather click than type.

Section titled “3. Link to another note”

Type two square brackets — [[ — and start typing the name of another note. A picker pops up; pick one, hit Enter.

If you link to a note that does not exist yet, the link still works — it is styled differently to flag it, and once you create that note the link wakes up automatically.

4. Tag it

Section titled “4. Tag it”

Anywhere in the note, type # and a word. #idea, #meeting, #project-alpha. The tag becomes clickable in preview and shows up in the Tags view in the sidebar.

5. Open the graph

Section titled “5. Open the graph”

Left sidebar → Graph. Every note you have written so far is a dot; every wiki-link is a line. As you add more notes, the graph fills in.
