Two Ways to Link

Create page links with keyboard shortcuts or the formatting toolbar. Both methods are fast and intuitive.

Type [[

Start typing [[ anywhere in a text block. An autocomplete dropdown shows all your pages. Type to filter, arrow keys to navigate, Enter to insert.

Inline Toolbar

Select text and click the link icon in the formatting toolbar. Search for a page and the selected text becomes a clickable page link.

How Links Work

Page links are fast, private, and resilient. Here is what happens under the hood.

Stored by ID

Links reference the page’s unique ID, not its title. Rename a page and all links to it still work perfectly.

Click to Navigate

Click any page link to jump to that page instantly. Links are styled with dotted underlines so you can tell them apart from URLs.

Fully Private

Page links are local references only. Zero network requests. No external URLs, no tracking, no analytics.

Works With Encryption

Link to encrypted pages freely. Clicking the link prompts for the page password if it’s locked.

Works Offline

Everything is local. Links work identically whether you’re online or completely disconnected.

Clean Storage

Links are stored as HTML anchor elements with data-page-id attributes. Content is sanitized through DOMPurify.
