Inspector#

The Inspector is a sidebar panel on the right side of the editor. Toggle it from the toolbar button on macOS, or swipe left on the editor on iOS.

Inspector pane

Tabs#

The Inspector has five tabs, selected via a segmented control at the top:

Graph#

Shows a local link graph centred on the current note. Connected notes (via wiki-links) appear as nodes. Click a node to navigate to that note.

Outline#

A table of contents generated from the note's headings. Click any heading to jump to it. Useful for navigating long documents.

When the editor is hoisted on a heading, the outline narrows to just the hoisted subtree — so it doubles as a chapter-level mini-navigator while you work inside one section. Learn more about Hoist →

Platform availability

Outline is available on macOS, on iPad (both orientations), and on iPhone in landscape. On iPhone in portrait the Inspector hides the Outline tab — there isn't room to show both the outline and the editor at the same time, and a tap on a heading wouldn't have a visible editor to jump to. Rotate the iPhone to landscape to access it.

Words#

Displays writing statistics:

  • Word count
  • Character count
  • Sentence count
  • Paragraph count
  • Estimated reading time
  • Key dates (created, modified)

Properties#

Shows the note's front matter properties. You can view and edit custom properties (like status, category, etc.) that you've added to the note.

Tasks#

Lists all tasks in the current note, grouped by status. Each task shows its text, due date, and priority. Click a task to jump to its location in the editor.

Collection Graph#

For a full collection-wide graph (not just the current note), use Cmd+Shift+G to open the standalone Collection Graph window. This shows all notes and their wiki-link connections as an interactive force-directed graph.
