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.)
Pages: your project hubs
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
Enter Focus mode
Click the expand icon on a page description to enter a calming, full-screen writing space.

Customize your pages
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.
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
Star a page
Click the star icon at the top of any page to add it to your favorites.
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.
Access favorites from the sidebar
Your favorite pages appear directly in the sidebar menu for quick access — one click and you're there.
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.
Find anything with Quick Search
Press Cmd+K (or Ctrl+K)
The search bar appears from anywhere in the app. Start typing to search across everything.
Navigate results with your keyboard
Results are grouped by type: pages, contacts, companies, tasks, notes and entries. Use arrow keys to browse and Enter to open. If no page has the name you typed, the search offers to create it.
Shortcut
Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows)
Archive a finished project
Archive from the page
Open the page, then the … menu, and choose Archive. A badge marks the page as archived.
Or archive several at once
In All pages, use Select to archive several finished projects in one action. The Archived filter lists them all.
Bring one back
A project that restarts un-archives in one click — favorites and all.
