Rows, documents, upkeep — pick three.

A spreadsheet gives you rows and comparison, but a cell can't hold a document. A notes folder holds the documents, but you can't sort or filter it. Chat does the upkeep, then forgets it. So you run all three, copy between them, and the set goes stale the week you stop.

Intabula handles all three in one place — and the agent can take as much of the upkeep as you hand over, so the workspace stays current.

Give it a problem, get a workspace.

Ask for open roles that fit you: one record per job, columns inferred from the data — status as a select, applied as a date, company as a relation — a tailored cover letter inside each record, and a board grouped by status.

Works the same for apartments, vendors, papers, bugs. Add a referral column later and the agent backfills every record.

Notes that are also data

Folders are collections, files are records, and the fields at the top of each note become sortable, filterable columns. Click through any row and you're in the full note.

A sandboxed agent

A coding agent pointed at your files gets a shell; Intabula's agent gets a toolbox. update_record splices only the changed segment of a file — every other byte survives. rename_record rewrites every wikilink atomically under a crash-recovery journal. Every change lands in an activity feed with a before-and-after diff.

Your files, not a database

Every note is a Markdown file in a folder you choose; the index is a disposable cache that rebuilds in seconds. Grep them, sync them, open them in other apps. Delete Intabula and nothing is lost.

The agent is built in.

Sign in with your Claude or Codex account and the agent is ready on first launch. No API keys or per-token billing — usage counts against your existing plan.

It edits the vault through sixteen typed operations — create, update, rename, move, link, search, manage views. No shell, no direct file access. It can also search the web; your files leave your machine only as model context, within the scope you've granted.

Notes that can see your code.

Attach a repository to a collection as a read-only linked folder. The agent reads the code and its history — git_log git_show git_diff — without touching the working tree, so decision records cite the actual commit.

Linked folders are fenced to their path, with secrets blocklisted. The agent reads there; it only ever writes into your workspace.

Your vault, on your phone.

The iOS companion has full search, table and board views, editing, and quick capture. The agent stays on the desktop; the phone is for updating and looking things up.

Keep the vault in iCloud Drive and it syncs like any other folder — no Intabula server, no account. Git, Syncthing, and Dropbox work too.

Sharing is a folder.

Share a Groceries folder in iCloud Drive with your partner and add it as an external collection. They set status: got at the store and the change syncs back to you. The schema travels in a dotfile, so everyone gets the same columns.

No invites, no seats — sharing and permissions are the operating system's job.

Warns, never blocks

Schema drift, broken links, and odd values route to a needs-attention inbox. Nothing is rejected or silently fixed.

Schema inferred, never imposed

Write a few notes with the same fields and Intabula offers to promote them to columns. You never design a schema upfront.

Approval mode shows real bytes

The optional review diff comes from dry-running the actual write. What you approve is exactly what lands.

Views from a sentence

"Show me a board grouped by status" becomes a saved Kanban in your sidebar.

Links that don't break

Records keep their identity when moved between collections — every reference follows, so the agent can reorganize without breaking anything.

Your Obsidian vault works as-is

Point both apps at the same folder. Full-text search across everything, accent-insensitive — "Lodz" finds "Łódź".

Try it on the notes you already have.

Chat gives you answers. Intabula gives you the place they belong.

Open your existing folder and start writing — or give the agent a problem. Intabula reads plain Markdown as-is.
