Editor
Aino LifeOS uses a WYSIWYG Markdown editor. You write standard Markdown, but see rendered results in real-time.
Create a Note
In the left file tree:
- Right-click a folder → New File
- Enter a filename (
.mdextension optional) - The file opens in the center editor — start writing
Basic Formatting
Type Markdown syntax directly — the editor renders in real-time:
Or use toolbar buttons and shortcuts:
Link to Other Notes
Type [[ to trigger note search:
- Type
[[ - Search by keyword
- Select the target note
- Generates a
[[Note Name]]link
Click the link to jump to the target note. This is bidirectional linking — two notes connected to each other.
Insert Tables
Type |Col1|Col2| and press Enter to auto-create a visual table. Edit cell contents directly.
Insert Code Blocks
Type three backticks ``` plus a language name for syntax-highlighted code blocks. Supports 100+ languages.
Insert Math Formulas
- Inline:
$E=mc^2$ - Block:
$$...$$
LaTeX formulas render instantly.
Embed Excalidraw Diagrams
Create and edit hand-drawn style diagrams directly in notes. Great for flowcharts, architecture diagrams, mind maps.
Multi-Tab Editing
Open multiple files like browser tabs:
- Click files in the tree to open in new tabs
- Drag tabs to reorder
- Middle-click to close
- Right-click for "Close Others," "Close Right," etc.
Split View
Split the editor into two columns to view and edit two files side by side.
Edit Frontmatter
YAML metadata at the top of notes is displayed as a form for easy editing of tags, categories, dates:
Auto-Save
Files auto-save after changes — no manual save needed. If another program (like Obsidian) modifies the same file simultaneously, a conflict prompt lets you choose which version to keep.
In-Document Search
Cmd/Ctrl + F— Search in current fileCmd/Ctrl + H— Find and replace
