About

A minimal writing scratchpad
for note keeping, novel drafting, and web publishing.
Made with love by idcs.

Shoutout to my wife buns.

Archive Opened

Prepare the workshop.

Set the tone, choose your starting desk, and step into RecallPad with the room already arranged the way you want it.

Select a visual preset that matches the kind of drafting mood you want to begin with.

Start with the guided workshop layout or enter a blank notebook and write immediately.

Choose the mood of the archive before entering.

Choose a theme preset

These are quick starters. You can still customize every color later from Theme Colors.

Choose your starting desk

Keep the guided starter layout, or begin with a clean page and no ceremony.

Workshop Layout

Starts with About RecallPad and Chapter Notes so the archive introduces itself before you begin.

Blank Desk

Clears the room and opens a single fresh tab so you can start writing immediately.

How Wikilinks Work

The Basics

Wrap any tab name in double square brackets to create a link to it. The name must match a tab exactly (case-insensitive).

I wrote about this in [[World Building]] earlier.

If the tab exists, the link is highlighted in amber. If the tab doesn't exist yet, it shows dim with a dashed underline.

See [[Chapter 4]] — but [[Chapter 99]] doesn't exist yet.

Typing Links

Type [[ to open an autocomplete dropdown. Keep typing to filter by tab name. Use ↑ ↓ to navigate, Enter or Tab to insert. Close the brackets manually with ]] to create a link without autocomplete.

Navigating Links

Hover over a highlighted link for a preview of the first 280 characters of that tab. Ctrl+click any link to jump to that tab directly.

The Links Panel

Open the panel with Ctrl+L or the Links button in the toolbar. It shows three sections for the current tab:

Links in this tab — every [[link]] this tab makes outward, flagged if unresolved.
Linked from — other tabs that reference this tab by name, with a line of context.
All wikilinks — a global index across the whole project, sorted by reference count.

※ Tab names are the source of truth. If you rename a tab, links pointing to its old name will show as unresolved until updated. The Links panel's All Wikilinks section flags them.
