Welcome to your Laputa vault! This note walks you through the key features so you can start building your personal knowledge graph.
Editor
Laputa uses a rich markdown editor. Write in plain markdown with headings, lists, checkboxes, code blocks, and blockquotes. Every note has YAML frontmatter at the top (between --- delimiters) that stores metadata like type, status, and relationships.
Wiki-links connect notes together: type [[ in the editor to search and link to any note in your vault.
Types
Types define the kind of entity a note represents — Note, Project, Person, Topic, Task, or any custom type you create. Each type gets its own icon, color, and sidebar section. To create a new type, add a markdown file with type: Type in the frontmatter.
Sidebar
The left sidebar organizes your vault by type. Each type gets its own collapsible section. Special sections include:
- Inbox — notes without a type
- All Notes — every note in the vault
- Archive — archived notes
- Trash — deleted notes (recoverable for 30 days)
Properties
Open the Inspector panel (right side) to view and edit a note's properties. Click any value to change it. Use the + Add property button to add custom fields. Properties containing [[wiki-links]] become navigable relationships.
Relationships
Connect notes through frontmatter fields like Belongs to, Related to, and Has. These appear as clickable pills in the Inspector. Backlinks are computed automatically — linking A to B makes B show a backlink to A.
Views
Views are saved filters that show a subset of your notes. Create a view to see, for example, all active projects or all tasks belonging to a specific project. Views live in the views/ folder as YAML files. This vault includes an "Active Projects" view that filters for projects with status Active.
Favorites
Pin frequently used notes to the Favorites section at the top of the sidebar. Toggle a note's favorite status from the Inspector or the command palette.
Search
Press Cmd+P to quick-open any note by title. Use the search bar in the sidebar for full-text search across all notes.
Command palette
Press Cmd+K to open the command palette. From here you can create notes, switch types, toggle views, and access every action in the app.
AI
Laputa integrates with Claude Code. When Claude Code is running in your vault directory, the status bar shows a green badge. You can use AI to help organize, summarize, and connect your notes.
Git sync
Your vault is a standard git repository. Use the Changes view in the sidebar to see modified files, commit changes, and push to a remote. This means your vault works with any git hosting service for backup and sync across devices.
