Bi-directional links help you stay in context at all times

When you click a link and go to a new page you will always see a link back to the source page in the footer. Also known as backlinks.

Rapidly build Outlines like this page

You can easily indent and add bullet points with Tab and Enter

Quickly write structured text that's also quick for others to read.

Explore related pages when they share one common link.

Adding a single link lets you browse all related pages up to two steps away.

We call this a 2-hop link. See Editing basics

Pages are links and tags

Link text directly matches the corresponding page title.

Links update automatically when the page title is updated.

Use upper or lowercase in links and they always refer to the same pages

Add links with [link] or #link

Embed an image by pasting a file or link

Display images in one step by pasting the file or link on a Cosense page.

This works well with our instant screenshot sharing service, Gyazo.

Recognize pages at a glance with automatic thumbnails

By adding an image to a page, we create a thumbnail that's shown everywhere on Cosense so you can remember it at a glance.

Visual recognition is much faster than text recognition.

Inline WYSIWYG syntax editing

With simple yet powerful syntax and WYSIWYG editing, Cosense is easy to update.

Syntax is revealed by placing your cursor on a line. Rich text is shown when you move away.

Realtime co-editing with multiple people

With version control similar to Subversion, the same page can be edited by many people at the same time without hiccups.

We've had pages edited by more than 30 people in real time at events and in video chats.

Strong code notation and Code blocks

Syntax highlighting is supported for most programming languages.

You can edit a code snippet or block inside a Cosense page with syntax highlighting on.

Cosense pages are univerally transferable as plain text

Pages in Cosense have a simple plain text format that remains easy to use when pasted or exported into another app or site.

A whole Cosense project can be exported as a simple .json file.

A minimal amount of know-how is required to get the full benefit

Less is more. By leaving out most decorative syntax notation and focusing on the essentials, it's easier to learn Cosense than other tools.

Time spent on organizing is dramatically reduced due to Cosense's quick links and related pages .

Because editing and organizing is done with text alone there is a high degree of freedom in the ways it can be used.
