OriginText documentation

Guides and help for getting the most out of OriginText — from your first note to wikilinks, the knowledge graph, encrypted sync, and importing your existing markdown.

  • Getting started with OriginText — Create your first note, link ideas with wikilinks, and see them in the graph — all on your device.
  • Linking notes with wikilinks — Use [[wikilinks]] to connect your notes — with autocomplete, Ctrl/⌘-click navigation, and automatic backlinks.
  • Using the knowledge graph — Every wikilink you write becomes an edge in a live force-directed graph — click nodes to navigate, and spot orphan notes that nothing links to.
  • Sync and your recovery code — Optional encrypted sync keeps notes across devices — your passphrase locks the keys, and the recovery code is the only backup if you forget it.
  • Import from Obsidian — Export your Obsidian vault as a .zip and import it with one click — your markdown files and wikilinks come across intact.
