Auto-save

Notes are automatically saved as you type. You'll never lose your work.

Wiki Links

Connect your notes with wiki links. Type [[ to open a search and find any note in your workspace. Select a note to insert a link.

Wiki links look like [[Note Name]] and automatically update if you rename the linked note.

Backlinks

Nomendex automatically tracks backlinks between notes. When you link to a note, that note knows about the connection. View backlinks to see all notes that reference the current note.

Notes can be organized into folders. Create folders directly from the notes browser to keep related notes together.
