The same notes. A clearer view.
Turn one Markdown workspace into live tables, Kanban boards, and focused graphs. Filter, group, sort, and search without moving a single file.
One result set, three ways to see it
Start with the detail of a table, group the same notes into Kanban lanes, or open a graph to explore how they connect. Every layout works from the same live results.
Keep only what matters now
Combine dates, tags, tasks, links, system fields, and your own properties. The result updates as your notes change.
- See it before you save it
- Filter edits preview live. Click Save when the result is right, or Undo to return to the last saved query.
- AND or OR, your call
- Click the connector between two filters to switch it. Mixed connectors are evaluated in the order shown.
- Dates that stay current
- Pick relative ranges like Today, Last 7 Days, Last Month, or This Quarter, or choose a date from the calendar.
Bring the right details forward
Choose the fields you need, sort and group by them, and search what's on screen, all without changing the notes underneath.
Columns you choose
Show or hide fields from the columns icon, drag headers to reorder, and drag an edge to resize. Name stays pinned to the left.
Sort by any column
Click a header to sort, and click again to flip the direction. Sorting is saved with the view.
Groups that bucket themselves
Group by a field and dates or numbers fall into readable ranges, like Past 7 days or 501–1,000 words. Click a header to collapse it.
Search the rows you see
Press Cmd/Ctrl + F while a view is focused. Search matches the values the view displays and works together with its saved filters.
Move a card, change the note
Group a view by a field, then switch its layout to Kanban. Each value becomes a lane, and the card fields you pick decide what each card shows.
- Drag to update
- When grouped by a property, tags, pinned status, or read-only status, dropping a card in another lane changes that value on the note.
- No value clears it
- Drop a card in the No value lane to clear the field. For a list or tags property, the value is replaced with the lane's value.
- Built-in fields stay put
- Folder, note type, dates, and content statistics can't change by dragging, so those cards stay where they are.
Read a note without leaving the view
Click a note's name to open a sheet beside the table with a read-only preview, its statistics, and its properties.
- Step through with j and k
- Move to the next or previous note with j and k or the arrow keys. Navigation follows the current filters, sorting, and grouping.
- Edit when it needs you
- Choose Edit in Tab to open the note in a full editor tab.
Keep your views within reach
Pin a view, link it from a note, or jump to it from anywhere. Every workspace starts with three views ready to use.
Pin it beside your notes
Right-click a view and choose Pin view. Pinned views sit at the top of the sidebar's Pinned section with their icon and color.
Link a view from any note
Type [[ and the view's name to insert a link. Click it to preview the view in a sheet, or Cmd/Ctrl + Click to open it in a tab.
Three views to start
Octarine creates Organised Notes, Pending Tasks, and Recently Written when you set up a workspace.
Two keys away
Press g then w to go to Views from anywhere, or type a view's name in the Command Bar. You can also open Views on startup.
