# Fennick docs

> How to use Fennick, a notebook that writes like a document and works like a database. Fennick isn't open yet: join the waitlist at https://getfennick.com/#waitlist. Fennick is alpha, and you may lose data. Pages marked "(coming)" describe things planned but not built.

Each page is plain Markdown at the address below, next to this file.

## Start

- [Fennick docs](index.md): How to use Fennick: day pages, writing, outlining, tags and fields, queries, links, dates, settings, undo and the Op Log.
- [Getting started](getting-started.md): Join the waitlist, write on today's page, make pages, and find your way around.
- [Import and export](import.md): Bring in a Notion export, an Obsidian vault or any Markdown folder, a CSV file, a Tana export or a Fennick export. Export everything as one zip.
- [Using a notebook without Fennick](notebook-file.md): Your notebook is one SQLite file: open it in any SQLite tool, read it while Fennick is open, and how changes are made.

## Writing

- [Writing and formatting](writing.md): Block kinds, the / menu, markdown typing, text styles and the toolbar on selected words.
- [Outlining](outlining.md): Indent blocks into an outline, fold them, open a block on its own, select and move blocks.
- [Dates in blocks](dates.md): Type @ and a day (@tomorrow, @fri, @oct 15), a week, a month, a quarter or a year (@q4) to link a block to it; week, month, quarter and year pages.
- [Pictures, files and tables](files.md): Add a picture or any file to a page, and put a simple table in a block.
- [Copy and paste](copy-paste.md): Paste keeps blocks, nesting and styles; copy works in other apps; cut and paste moves; ⌘⇧V pastes words only.

## Tags, fields and views

- [Tags](tags.md): Tag a block with #, set a tag's color, icon and template, and use one entity on many pages.
- [Fields](fields.md): A field holds a value on an entity. Every Type, Formula (and a formula in a block), Rollup, Progress, two-way links, and how a field looks and where it shows.
- [Views](views.md): Show the same entities as a Table, Board, List, Calendar, Gallery, Chart, Canvas and more, with their own filters, sorts and groups.
- [Canvas](canvas.md): Place a page's blocks, a tag's entities or a query's results as cards on a board, and connect them.
- [Queries](queries.md): Everything a query understands: what to list, Where, Without, Sort, ThenBy, Limit, and the rules for each field Type, with examples.
- [Links and mentions](links.md): Mention pages and entities with @ or [[, link words with a highlight, see what links here, peek on hover.

## Getting around

- [The Library and Tasks](library-and-tasks.md): Every page and entity in one place, and every task with what is overdue, due today and coming up.
- [The command menu](command-menu.md): One menu for going to pages, entities and days, searching every block, and acting on blocks: ⌘K or ⌘P.
- [Settings and the sidebar](settings.md): Settings: your account, sign-in and Lock, light or dark, themes and snippets, start page, week start and date format. Customize the sidebar and the right panel.
- [Keyboard shortcuts](shortcuts.md): Every key Fennick knows, on a Mac and on Windows.

## Together

- [Undo and the Op Log](op-log.md): Undo and redo, the Op Log of every change by every person and agent, undo one change, restore to a point, and the Trash.
- [People and agents](agents.md): Write beside AI agents in the same page, see who wrote what, and undo any change they made.
- [Connect your agent](connect-your-agent.md): How to connect an agent such as Claude to your notebook, what it can do there, and how to keep its instructions, rules, skills and memory in your notebook.
- [Phones](phones.md): Fennick on a phone: the bars, the ⋯ menu, sheets, a page's fields, the Home Screen, the keyboard bar, picking blocks, swipes, undo and search.

## Optional

- [Every page in one file](llms-full.txt)
