Precise filters
Keep only what matters now.
Combine dates, tags, tasks, links, system fields, and your own properties. The result updates as your notes change.
Views
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.
Table
Scan every useful field
Kanban
Group notes into lanes
Graph
Explore the connections
A workspace that rearranges itself
Ask a different question of the same notes.
Your folders stay simple and your files stay portable. Views use the metadata already in your workspace to surface the right notes for the job in front of you.
Useful columns
Bring the right details forward.
Choose the fields you need, reorder and resize them, and sort across multiple columns without changing the notes underneath.
Quick row search
Narrow it without rebuilding it.
Search the values already displayed in a view. Your saved filters stay intact while you find the exact row you need.
From rows to a workflow
See the shape your work needs today.
Start with the detail of a table, group the same results into Kanban lanes, or open a graph to explore relationships. Every layout works from the same live result set.
Group it your way
Turn status, priority, note type, tags, or any custom property into the organizing rule for the work in front of you.
Bring the right details forward
Choose the fields that appear on every Kanban card, so each lane carries enough context without becoming noisy.
Return to the source
Preview any note without losing the View, or open it as a regular workspace tab when it needs your full attention.
Live before you save
Preview filter edits immediately, save the result when it is right, or undo to return to the last query.
Built around your metadata
Use system fields, note types, tags, and custom properties across filters, columns, sorting, and groups.
Keep it within reach
Pin a View, make it your new-tab home, or jump to it from the command bar.

Been using Octarine as my daily driver for the past few days and I'm impressed. Seriously considering jumping from Noteplan.
