Notes & tasks, in depth.
Past the basics from Getting started, here’s everything the editor and the task list can actually do.
Wikilinks
Type [[ anywhere in a note to open a picker of your other notes by name. Pick one (or keep typing to create it) and it becomes a link - click it any time to jump straight there.
Useful for the things that don’t fit neatly into one project: a person, a recurring topic, a reference note you keep coming back to from several places.
Highlights & formatting
Select any text for bold, italic, and underline (⌘U) - plus six pastel highlight colors, for marking things up without the page turning into a circus of colors.
⌘F opens find-in-note and cycles matches; Esc puts it away.
Subprojects
Add a subproject from inside any project to break a large effort into smaller pieces without spinning up a whole new top-level project. Each subproject tracks its own tasks, and its progress rolls up into the parent so you can check on the whole thing at a glance.
Recurrence
Every task can repeat. Free covers the three most common patterns - daily, weekly, monthly.
Premium adds custom recurrence: specific weekdays (Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays) or an interval you set yourself - every 2 days, every 3 weeks, whatever your actual schedule needs.
Quick find
Press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K on Windows) from anywhere in the app to search across notes, tasks, and pages at once, and jump straight to the result.

Want the fundamentals first?
If you haven't already, start with Getting started for the core loop - projects, notes, tasks, and how they link. Calendar, the Dashboard, and billing are their own guides too.
