Core Concepts

How your information is organized
InkReaders uses a four-level structure to keep everything easy to find and logically grouped:

Collections → Notebooks → Pages → Notes

Each level has a clear purpose. Together, they let you scale from a single quick note all the way up to a full knowledge base.

Collections — your top-level domains
A Collection is the broadest organizational unit. Use it to separate completely different areas of your work or life so they never bleed into each other.
Examples: Work, Personal, Academic Research, Side Projects
Think of a Collection like a bookshelf — each shelf holds a different category, and you always know where to look.

Notebooks — one subject, one place
Inside each Collection sit your Notebooks. Each one is dedicated to a specific project or subject.
Example: Inside a Work Collection, you might have Notebooks for Q4 Financial Audit, Marketing Strategy, and Onboarding Docs.

Pages — sections within a Notebook
Pages break a Notebook into focused topics, making it easy to navigate without scrolling through everything at once.
Example: A Marketing Strategy Notebook might have pages for Market Analysis, Competitor Research, and Budget Planning.

Notes — where thinking happens
Notes are the actual content — your writing, observations, data, lists, diagrams, and ideas. This is the layer you interact with most.

Example: On a Market Analysis page, a note might contain survey data, key takeaways, and a framework for next steps.

Once you internalize this structure, organizing even large volumes of information becomes second nature.
