Welcome to Tine

• Welcome to Tine 👋
  • Tine is a fast, local outliner that reads and writes the same Markdown/Org files as Logseq — the very folder you point it at. Edit here or in Logseq; it's one graph, no import, no export. We have a lot of respect for Logseq — Tine just tries to improve a few things.
  • Everything you see here is a real Markdown file in this graph's pages/ folder. Open that folder in your file manager and look — nothing is locked away.
• Try the basics right now
  • Click any bullet to edit it. Enter makes a new bullet, Tab indents, Shift+Tab outdents. Drag a bullet's dot to move it (and everything under it).
  • Tasks — type TODO / DOING / DONE at the start of a bullet, or press Ctrl+Enter to cycle one:
    • TODO Click this checkbox to complete me
    • DONE This one is already done
  • Rich text: bold, italic, highlight, inline code, and even math like \(e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0\).
  • Links: type [[ to link a page or # for a #tag. Here's a link to Project/Roadmap — click it.
• Block references & embeds
  • Every bullet has a hidden id, so you can point at one specific bullet from anywhere. This is a live reference to a bullet over on the Roadmap: Tine's saves are format-preserving, so you can always switch back to Logseq — nothing here is one-way.
  • And here is that same bullet embedded inline — it stays in sync with the original:

• Keep exploring
  • Tine Guide — open the in-app how-to guide beside your own graph, with live examples you can copy into a sandbox.
  • Start/Where things are — a map of the main places: the page, the sidebars, tabs, and Settings and Help.
  • Features/Quick capture — on desktop, drop a thought into your graph from any app with a global hotkey. (Set this one up — it's genuinely good.)
  • Features/Tips & shortcuts — slash commands, the command palette, tabs, the sidebar, focus mode and dimming.
  • Features/Sheets — grids, field tables, and task boards over plain bullets.
  • Features/PDF annotation — highlight PDFs and turn them into linked notes.
  • Features/Plugins — add small capability-limited extensions or token themes without giving code unrestricted access to Tine.
  • Features/Managed sync — learn about the separate, opt-in, known-buggy mode for operation-backed sync that keeps your Markdown/Org graph in place.
  • When you're ready, point Tine at your own Logseq graph: open Settings (t s) and pick a different folder — Start/Bring an existing graph walks you through it. Your notes stay exactly where they are.
