Guides
Start at the top if you are new to Onnoir. The first guides walk through a safe first session; the later guides are reference material for specific workflows.
Start safely
Install Onnoir, create a vault, save recovery material, and write your first notebook.
- Start here Create your local library, save your recovery key, write your first note, and make a verified backup.
- Install and update Choose the right installer, update carefully, and verify downloads when release metadata is available.
- Vault, passphrase, and recovery Understand the local encrypted vault, the system keychain, recovery keys, and what Onnoir cannot reset.
- First notebook Create a notebook, open a chapter/page, rename it, and learn the Shelf.
Core workflows
Write, organize, search, and work with files without learning the whole product model first.
- Writing and editing Use the editor, slash menu, links, rich blocks, autosave, and recovery-minded writing habits.
- Organizing your library Understand Shelf, Today, Collections, Threads, Cardboard, Atlas, Trash, and practical workflows.
- Search Search notes, Cabinet files, Collections, and indexed PDF, DOCX, Markdown, plain-text, and OCR-readable document text.
- Files, media, and documents Add files to Cabinet, embed media in pages, preview documents, and understand large-file behavior.
Protect and move data
Back up, restore, export, and understand what stays local.
- Backups, restore, and snapshots Create encrypted .onbk backups, verify them, rehearse restore, and use snapshots carefully.
- Markdown export Export readable copies of notes and assets without confusing Markdown with encrypted restore backups.
- Privacy and local data Understand what stays local, what can leave the device, and how beta diagnostics differ from download metrics.
