Organize Everything with Pages

Pages let you connect anything in Keepsake — notes, tasks, entries, contacts — into flexible projects. There's no upfront setup. Just type #project# or [[Project Name]] and the connections form automatically. It's the simplest way to organize without over-organizing. (Pages used to be called tags: same syntax, same features, new name.)

How pages work

A page gathers everything related to a project, an area or a topic. Mention it anywhere — in a note, a task, an entry — and everything linked to the same page becomes connected.
1

Type # or [[ to link to a page

Use #page name# (the closing # is inserted automatically) or [[Page Name]] for wiki-style links. Both work the same way — choose the syntax you prefer. Page names can have several words, like #Q1 Planning#. You can place a page link anywhere in your text.

2

The page is created automatically

If the page doesn't exist yet, it's created on the spot. No need to define pages in advance. When you save your note, recognized page links appear highlighted — that's how you know they're active.

3

Click a page link to open it

Every page link is clickable. Tap it to open the page, which shows all connected content: notes, tasks, entries, and contacts — everything in one place.

4

Access all your pages anytime

All your pages are available from "All pages" in the sidebar (in the Pages tab on mobile), or through the Quick Search (Cmd+K). You can also create one from the New button: choose New page (P). You'll always find your way back.

Tip

Pages auto-complete as you type. After typing # or [[, your existing pages appear for quick selection. This helps you stay consistent and avoid duplicates.

Pages: your project hubs

Each page works like a project hub. It shows everything connected to it, and you can add content directly from the page.
1

Open a page

Click any page link anywhere in the app to open it. You'll see all linked tasks, notes and entries, each in its own section. The summary under the title (for example "3 tasks · 2 notes") counts the tasks still to do and is clickable: click a type to show only those items — even if you had collapsed that section — and click again to get the page back as you left it.

2

Add content from the page

Click Add at the top of the page to create a task, a note or an entry right there. The page is linked automatically — no need to type it again.

3

Add a description

Each page can have a rich description. Use it for project goals, meeting notes, or any information you want to keep front and center.

Tip

Long descriptions can be collapsed with a "Show more / Show less" button. The collapsed state is remembered for each page.

The context column: people, related pages, rediscoveries

On a wide screen, a column on the right of every page gathers its context. It is there to make ideas collide: the people involved, the pages that keep coming back alongside this one, and older material you may have forgotten. Each block only appears when it has something to show.
1

People

The people and companies linked to the page come first. Click Add to link someone (search ignores accents), hover a name to remove it. Under them, On this page suggests people who appear in the page's tasks, notes or entries without being linked to it yet — one click links them.

2

Related pages

The pages most often found on the same tasks, notes and entries as this one. Click one to show only what the two pages have in common (a In common with #… pill appears; click it to see everything again). The arrow opens that page.

3

A random note

An older note from the page — at least a month old — comes back to the surface. Click it to reread it, or use the refresh button to draw another one. The draw changes at each visit.

4

Images and links

The images found in the page's notes, entries and tasks: the most recent ones, plus a couple of older ones drawn at random. See all … images opens a gallery you can browse with the arrow keys. Links work the same way, starting with notes that are a link — to collect a source, capture a note with the link.

Tip

The related-page filter applies to the whole column: images, links and the random note then only come from what the two pages share.

Focus mode for writing

When you need to concentrate on writing a page description, Focus mode gives you a distraction-free full-screen experience.
1

Enter Focus mode

Click the expand icon on a page description to enter a calming, full-screen writing space.

2

Write without distraction

Your changes are auto-saved after a few seconds of pause. A QuickNote bar stays available at the top if a thought pops up.

3

Exit when done

Press Cmd+Enter to save and close, or Escape to close. Your writing is safe either way.

Customize your pages

Make each page your own with colors and icons. Visual customization helps you identify projects at a glance — in the sidebar, in search results, and on the page itself.
1

Choose a color

Open any page and click the icon next to its name ("Choose an icon and a color") to pick a color. The color appears on the page header, in the sidebar, and on page badges throughout the app.

2

Pick an icon

From the same place, select an icon for your page. The icon appears next to the page name in the sidebar and on the page header, making it easy to spot your projects visually.

Tip

Use consistent colors for related projects. For example, all work-related pages in blue, personal in green. You'll find things faster.

Pin your favorite pages

Keep your most important projects easily accessible by adding them to your favorites.
1

Star a page

Click the star icon at the top of any page to add it to your favorites.

2

Reorder your favorites

Drag and drop your favorite pages in the sidebar to arrange them in the order you prefer. Your custom order is saved automatically.

3

Access favorites from the sidebar

Your favorite pages appear directly in the sidebar menu for quick access — one click and you're there.

4

Browse all pages

Open "All pages" to see every page you've created, with the number of linked items for each one. A single field, "Search or create a page…", finds a page or creates it if none has that name. It's your central directory for all projects.

Link your notes to pages

The most common use of pages is in QuickNotes. Link a note to a page as you write it, and it's instantly organized.
1

Write a note with page links

Example: "Meeting notes: discussed budget for #Q1 Planning#. Need to follow up with #marketing# team."

2

Find the note later

Open the "Q1 Planning" page or the "marketing" page to find this note alongside all related content.

Tip

You can change a note's pages after creation. From the inbox, use Add a page on the note to pick one with auto-complete suggestions.

Link your tasks to pages

Pages work in task titles and descriptions too. This lets you see all tasks for a project on its page.
1

Link a task to a page

Type #project name# or [[Project Name]] in the task title or description. The task will appear on the page.

2

View project tasks

Open the page to see all tasks linked to that project — completed and pending — alongside notes and entries.

3

Add tasks from the page

Type them in the line at the bottom of the page's tasks (or press A), one after another: each one gets the page. They're filed under Someday — end a title with T+0 for a task to do today. See Add tasks in a row.

Merge duplicate pages

Accidentally created two similar pages? Merge them into one without losing any content.
1

Open the page

Navigate to the page you want to merge (the one you want to remove).

2

Click "Merge with…"

Open the … menu at the top of the page and choose Merge with…. Select the destination page.

3

Everything transfers automatically

All contacts, tasks, notes, and entries move to the destination page. References like #old page# and [[old page]] are updated automatically.

Tip

Merging is one-way. The source page is removed and all its content moves to the destination. Choose your destination carefully. Your AI assistant can also merge two pages for you: ask it, for example, “Merge the Book page into Photo book”.

Archive a finished project

A finished project used to leave you two bad options: clutter your lists forever, or delete the page and lose its history. Archive it instead: the page leaves your page list, your sidebar favorites and the # suggestions, but keeps everything — description, contacts, tasks, notes — and stays findable through search. It is reversible in one click, and retyping its name links to the archived page rather than creating a duplicate. Deletion remains for what should never have existed: typos and duplicates.
1

Archive from the page

Open the page, then the … menu, and choose Archive. A badge marks the page as archived.

2

Or archive several at once

In All pages, use Select to archive several finished projects in one action. The Archived filter lists them all.

3

Bring one back

A project that restarts un-archives in one click — favorites and all.
