Get started

Have you ever needed a more effective way to organize your notes while keeping important details and connections? IWE is here to assist you.

IWE organizes your Markdown notes by treating them as a graph, where each document is a sub-tree and the links serve as the edges connecting them. It works at a semantic level, comprehending the structure defined by headers, lists, and links, and offers various tools to help you efficiently navigate and restructure the graph.

IWE allows you to organize notes hierarchically using block-references, all without relying on a folder structure, directly within your favorite editor. See the example below.

Supercharge your note-taking workflow

IWE works as an extension (LSP) for your favorite text editor and provides essential features for notes management, such as:

• 🔍 Search through your notes
• 🧭 Navigate through markdown links
• ✨ Auto-complete links as you type
• 🧩 Extract or inline sub-notes seamlessly
• 🖋️ Format the document and refresh link titles
• 🏷️ Rename files and automatically update all related links
• 🔗 Select backlinks to find references to the current document
• 🔄 Convert lists into headers and vice versa
• 💡 Display inlay hints with parent note references and link counts

Notes Search

IWE keeps the index of all your notes and allows searching for notes using the Workspace Symbols LSP command.

Auto-formatting

IWE offers auto-formatting, which typically kicks in when you save your file with Format LSP feature. This helps tidy things up. Here’s what it can do for you:

• Updating link titles to the header of the linked document.
• Adjusting header levels to ensure tree structure.
• Updating the numbering of the ordered lists.
• Fixing newlines, indentations in lists, and much more.

Graph transformations

IWE supports Extract/Embed note graph transformations, allowing you to split complex documents into smaller, more manageable files. You can do this using the Code Actions LSP menu in your editor while your cursor is on a header.
