Creating Your First Vault

When you first launch Knosys, you'll be asked to create a vault — a folder on your computer where Knosys stores your data.

Choose a location that makes sense for you. The default is ~/Documents/Knosys. All your notes, calendar data, and settings will be stored here as plain files you can browse, back up, or sync however you like.

Your First Note

Click the Notes icon in the sidebar or press Cmd+N (Ctrl+N on Windows/Linux) to create a new note. Knosys uses a rich text editor with Markdown shortcuts:

  • Type # for headings
  • Type - or * for bullet lists
  • Type [] for task lists
  • Type / to open the context menu with more options
  • Use [[Note Title]] to create wiki-links between notes
