About

Tangent lets you write the way you think. Your thoughts are connected; Tangent lets you link to existing notes and make new ones with ease. Let your mind wander along the path of interest. Don't suppress tangential thoughts; embrace them. Key features include:

  • [[Wiki-link]] linking to other files in your workspace by name.
  • Horizontally-scrolling sliding panels for quickly moving back and forth along a trail of thoughts.
  • A Map View of the links between notes created and followed during your current session.
  • Note creation automation with support for creating notes within folders defined by wildcards.
  • Full-workspace note search powered by a custom query language.

Tangent reads and writes plaintext notes using a loose interpretation of Markdown syntax. Text is rendered in a pseudo-WYSIWYG style, with formatting characters appearing only when you need them. Tangent supports bold, italics, headers, lists, links, images, todos, tags, inline code, block code with syntax highlighting, inline and block KaTeX math, color highlights, strikethrough, and comments.
