Links and Backlinks

Links are what turn a pile of notes into a web of ideas. In Culma, linking is as quick as typing.

Type [[ or @ and start typing a note's title. Pick it from the list, press Enter, and you have a link. For example, Getting Started and Whiteboards are links.

  • Click a link to open the note.
  • A link to a note that doesn't exist yet is fine. Ideas for Later leads nowhere today, but it starts working the moment a note with that title exists.
  • Renaming never breaks anything. Change a note's title and every link to it is updated.

Scroll to the bottom of any note to see backlinks, every note that links to the one you're reading. Look at the bottom of this page: Welcome to Culma links here, and so does the whiteboard How Culma Fits Together.

Backlinks let ideas find each other without you filing them anywhere. Write a thought in today's daily note, link it to a project, and it shows up on the project's page.

Paste a web address or type an email address, and it becomes a link by itself. Hover over a web link to change where it points.
