Intabula documentation
Intabula is a local-first Markdown notes app for Mac with an AI agent built in. Your notes can grow into workspaces: a folder of plain Markdown files gets typed fields, table and Kanban views, and full-text search, and the agent works in the same files. The agent has no shell; it edits the vault through typed operations.
Start
- Getting started
- Open a folder, connect the agent, start writing. Drafts, Home, themes, updates.
- Keyboard shortcuts
- The palette, new drafts and notes, the chat's fold and side, back and forward.
Notes
- Data model
- Folders are collections, files are records, frontmatter fields are columns. How the schema is inferred.
- Views & search
- Tables, boards, saved views, sorting, full-text search and backlinks.
Agent
- The agent
- Providers, every operation it can run, approval mode, conversations.
- Write safety
- Byte-exact edits, journaled renames, and the activity feed.
- Linked folders
- Read-only access to a repository or docs folder, including its Git history.
- Bots
- A scheduled job on one collection, following a charter you write.
Privacy & sync
- Encrypted collections
- Ciphertext on disk, a password that is never stored, and what the agent can't see.
- Sync, sharing & iOS
- Syncing through your own folder, shared external collections, the iPhone app.
- Obsidian
- Running both apps on the same vault.
