Sora

Add

Type in the bar at the bottom and press Enter. Sora dates it, sorts it into a category and links it to related cards.

Rabbit holes

With a card selected, whatever you add next is “led from” it, so you can type a whole rabbit hole in a row. Tap × on “led from” to start fresh.

Lines

Solid with travelling sparks: a rabbit hole you followed. Dashed: something you linked as related. Dotted blue with ✦: Sora connected them. Each line is labelled with how they're connected; hover or tap for the full reason.

Connect

Drag the dot on a card's right edge onto another card, or into empty space to start a new card there. Or use “Connect to…”.

More options

Right-click, or press and hold, on a card, a line or empty space.

Select several

Shift-click cards or Shift-drag a box. On touch: press and hold a card → Select, then tap more.

Undo

Everything can be undone: Ctrl Z, Ctrl Shift Z, or the arrows at the top.

Move around

Drag empty sky to move around. The scroll wheel zooms (no Ctrl needed), the small number at the bottom right is the zoom level (0% all the way out, 100% all the way in); click it to see everything. Zoom far out and cards become stars.

Categories

Tap a category in the bar at the top to see only that (with List for everything in it); tap All, × or Esc for everything again. Shift-click to combine. Keys 1–9 and 0 do the same.

Tree of life

Every animal and plant card shows where it sits in the tree of life (kingdom down to species), with your other cards at the branch they share. ⋯ → Tree of life draws all of them together. Tap any branch for details.

Dictionary

The book button (or D) looks up any word, name or place in Wiktionary and Wikipedia. Every card shows its dictionary entry, and you can double-click a word in an explanation or your notes to look it up.

Offline

Sora works without a connection and syncs when you're back.
