How it works

What you see on screen

Orbital shows your vault in four ways: the canvas, the feed, the tag map and the task board.

In short

  • The canvas is where you work. Every item on it is a pane.
  • The feed, on the left, lists what you added and did, in time order.
  • 🏷 and ◫, in the feed’s top bar, open two more views: the tag map and the task board.

How to move around

  1. Move a pane. Drag its title bar. Its corner resizes it.
  2. Zoom. Pinch, or hold Ctrl and scroll.
  3. Add something. Right-click the empty canvas, or in the feed.
⌘K does anything by name

Good to know

  • The tag map (🏷) shows every tag and its groups.
  • The task board (◫) has four columns: Todo, Doing, Blocked, Done.
