Getting started
Mudlark is a scratchpad for macOS. You write on the left side, and the right side shows your notes cleaned up and organized. Start any line with a special character to tell Mudlark what it is: a task, a question, a highlight, and more.
// the basics
- Open Mudlark. Two panes: type on the left, read the organized view on the right.
- Start typing. Plain text shows up in both panes.
- Add a prefix. Start a line with
+for a task,?for a question,#for a heading. - Check off a task. Type
− part of the name. Fuzzy matching finds it. - Export when ready. Send notes to Obsidian, Notion, Apple Notes, and more.
