Connect your notes with [[wiki links]]

Link any two pages by typing [[their title]]. Build a connected web of notes — a second brain for school, work, and your AI assistant — where nothing gets lost and links never break.

Most notes are islands. You write a page, it sinks down the list, and a month later you can't remember it existed — let alone how it relates to everything else you were thinking about.

Wiki links fix that. Type [[the title of another page]] and note2it turns it into a live link between the two. Do it a few times and your notes stop being a pile and start being a web — a map of how your ideas actually connect.

Link any two pages by typing [[their title]]

Anywhere you're writing, wrap a page's title in double square brackets: [[CHRO Brief — Founder Capacity & First Hires]]. When that page exists in your notebook, the brackets disappear and the text becomes a tidy underlined link. Click it and you're there.

That's the whole syntax. No menu, no picking from a dropdown, no copying URLs around — you write the name of the thing you mean, and it becomes a doorway to it.

Link to a page before you've written it

Here's the part that changes how you think on the page: you can link to a page that doesn't exist yet. Type [[test]] for an idea you haven't fleshed out, and note2it shows it in soft grey with a dashed underline — a visible placeholder, not a broken link.

It's a to-do for your future self. Capture the thought now, keep writing, and create the real page when you're ready. Your half-formed ideas stay visible in context instead of getting lost, and the moment the page exists, the dashed placeholder becomes a solid link automatically.

See what connects: backlinks and the graph

Links run both ways. Open a page and you can see its backlinks — every other page that points to it — so you land on a topic and immediately see everything you've written around it.

Zoom out and the graph view draws your whole notebook as a constellation: each page a node, each [[link]] a line between them. Pages that lots of others reference grow larger, so your most central ideas rise to the surface at a glance.

Rename without breaking a thing

The usual fear with linked notes is renaming. Change a title and you'd expect a dozen dead links.

note2it rewrites them for you. Rename a page and every [[Old Title]] across your other pages is updated to [[New Title]] in the same move — and because it's snapshotted, the whole rename is undoable. Your web stays intact no matter how much you reorganize.

For school, work, and your AI brain

At school, links turn a semester of scattered notes into a study map: link each lecture to the [[core concept]] it covers, connect an essay to its [[sources]], and follow the threads back at exam time instead of hunting through folders.

At work, they connect the pieces of a project: a meeting note links to the [[client]] it's about, the [[decision]] it produced, and the [[next steps]] it created — so a week later the context is one click away, not a search-and-scroll away.

And they build an AI brain. Because your links and backlinks are structure, not just text, an AI assistant connected to note2it can walk them: ask it to map everything tied to a topic, find placeholder pages you never finished, or pull up a page and everything that references it. Your knowledge graph becomes something you can actually ask questions of.

Private, and part of the editor

Your links live inside your own content and stay strictly tenant-isolated — never shared between accounts. Like every change in note2it, creating and editing them is recorded in the audit trail, never the content itself.

Wiki links, backlinks, and the graph are part of the editor, on every plan. Connecting an AI assistant like Claude to traverse them is available on Premium and Pro.

Try it

Open a page, type [[ and the title of another note, and watch the two connect. Then link to a page you haven't written yet — and give your future self a head start.
