Wiki links: [[Note]]
Type double square brackets around a note name to create an internal reference: [[Project Roadmap]]. You can also specify an alias using a pipe separator: [[Project Roadmap|the roadmap]].
When you click a wiki link in the rendered preview:
- If the note exists in your workspace, Tessamark opens it immediately.
- If the target does not exist yet on macOS or iOS, Tessamark creates
<Title>.md in the same folder as the current note, starting with a # <Title> heading, opens it in the editor, and keeps your cursor ready to write. On Linux, if not found relative to the document or workspace, it creates the file in the workspace folder. On Android, a notice reports that no note with that title exists yet.
Backlinks
Tessamark indexes references in both directions. The backlinks panel lists every document in your workspace that contains a [[wiki link]] to the currently active note. Plain mentions of the note's name do not count, and a note linking to itself is left out.
Selecting any backlink item jumps directly into that source document, making connections visible without requiring manual indexing.
Tags and the tag filter
Add tags anywhere in your document body with a hash symbol (for example, #research or #meeting) or in YAML front matter under the tags: key at the top of your file.
The workspace sidebar maintains an updated list of all unique tags across your workspace under the Tags section. Selecting a tag filters your workspace file tree down to a flat list of notes containing that tag, with a Clear button to restore the full tree.
Today's note and its settings
The Today's Note command jumps straight to a dated journal entry. If the document already exists on disk, Tessamark opens it; if not, Tessamark creates the file in your configured daily notes folder, populates it from your template, and opens it.
Under Settings → General → Daily Notes, you can customise:
- Folder: the directory path relative to your workspace root where daily notes live (such as
daily).
- Template Path: an optional Markdown template file. The template supports variables:
{{date}}, {{date_long}}, {{time}} and {{title}}.
Workspace search
Search quickly across note titles and content in your workspace. The shared Rust core runs ranked search against your notes, returning matching excerpts with highlight offsets.
- Open the search field in the workspace sidebar (or trigger the search command).
- Type keywords into the search box.
- Click any matching result to open the target note directly at that excerpt.
Back and forward
When moving across notes via wiki links or search results, Tessamark maintains a session history stack. You can step backward to return to earlier documents and forward again.
