Tobu

Tobu is a handy freeform information organizer that helps you keep all your notes, to-do lists, files, clips, code snippets, diary entries, and pretty much any text-based info in one place. Its main goal is to make it easy to manage a ton of information – we’re talking hundreds of thousands of items or even more! But don't worry if you only have a smaller collection; Tobu is great for that too!

How Tobu Works

The cool thing about Tobu is how it organizes your info. Instead of sorting everything as you go along, it lets you add your stuff with tags. You can then use filters to create lists and sort through everything when you need to find something specific. It’s all about keeping things simple while still being super effective.

Getting Started with Tags

When using Tobu, you'll want to check out the tagging system. Adding tags makes searching for your info a breeze! You’ll want to get comfy with how to add tags and use sortable ones too. The real magic happens when you're on the hunt for something – just filter by tags and watch as the lists organize themselves right before your eyes!

Explore More Features

Now, Tobu has a bunch of features that might not be super clear at first glance. So, it's a good idea to skim through the guide when you get a chance. While some topics like templates, views, and favorite tags can wait for later, understanding keyboard shortcuts will save you loads of time! You can easily view these shortcuts anytime by clicking on Help | Keyboard Shortcuts.

Your Data at Your Fingertips

Tobu keeps everything safe using standard SQLite data files stored in "data.db" in the program's folder. If you're into techy stuff, you can use any tools that work with SQLite files. Plus, there are plans for future versions where you'll be able to create linked HTML files or plain text files from your database directly within Tobu!
