Getting Started

Quickstart

Create your first workspace and start using Nomendex.

This guide will walk you through creating your first Nomendex workspace.

Create a Workspace

A workspace is just a folder on your Mac. Nomendex works with your existing files — it doesn't take them over.

  1. Open Nomendex
  2. Click Open Folder or press ⌘O
  3. Select any folder with markdown files, or create a new empty folder

That's it. Nomendex will index your files and you're ready to go.

Create Your First Note

  1. Press ⌘N to create a new note
  2. Give it a title at the top
  3. Start writing in markdown
# My First Note

This is my first note in Nomendex.

## Ideas

- [ ] Learn how to use wiki links
- [ ] Try asking Claude a question
- [ ] Set up Git sync

Link Between Notes

Use wiki links to connect your notes:

Check out my [[Other Note]] for more details.

When you type [[, Nomendex will suggest existing notes to link to.

Ask Claude

Reference Claude anywhere in your notes using @claude:

@claude What are some good ways to organize a project?

Claude will respond inline, with full context of your current note.

Track Your Tasks

Nomendex includes a built-in todo system. Create your first todo:

  1. Press ⌘K to open the command palette
  2. Type "Create New Todo"
  3. Enter a task and optional project name

Todos support statuses, projects, tags, and due dates. See Todos for more.

Chat with Claude

For longer conversations, use the dedicated chat interface:

  1. Press ⌘K and type "New Chat"
  2. Start a conversation with Claude
  3. Reference files with @filename.md

Chat sessions maintain full context and can be revisited later. See Chat for more.
