Documentation

Everything the app does, written by the people who built it. Start withGetting started, or jump straight to a topic — the search box (press /) covers full text.

Start

• Getting started — Install Smritsavant, start your free trial, and write your first notes on the canvas.

Core concepts

• Canvas & memory chunks — The spatial model — blocks on an infinite canvas, embedded locally and auto-linked by meaning.
• Cortex & Chronicle views — Four ways to see the same memory — Cortex clusters, Brain layouts, the Chronicle timeline, and Recent.
• Search — Full-text and semantic search across your notes — offline, in 50+ languages, with property filters.

Writing

• Editor & markdown — The full editor — tabs and splits, power markdown, math, wikilinks, transclusion, properties, and templates.
• Note kinds — Daily notes, templates, and mode suggestions today — and where structured note kinds are heading.

AI

• AI chat & inline AI — Chat with a canvas and get cited answers; edit with AI behind a diff — all running on your device.
• Voice — Dictation, lecture capture, and audio import — transcribed on your device, searchable like text.

Your data

• Sync — Sync through any cloud folder or WebDAV server you already trust — no Smritsavant server in the middle.
• Confidential notes — Encrypted-at-rest notes behind biometrics or a passphrase — plus Trash, timed notes, and the audit log.
• Import & export — Plain SQLite on disk, portable markdown export, whole-library backups, and a standalone CLI.

Platforms

• Mobile — iPhone, iPad, and Android companions — the same private core, with honest platform differences.
• Keyboard shortcuts — The complete shortcut reference. Press ⌘? in the app for the built-in cheat sheet.

Buying

• Licensing & devices — The 14-day trial, the four one-time licenses, the upgrade credit formula, and device management.
