People
Skriuw tracks everyone you mention with the $ menu, so you always know who is connected to what, without any manual bookkeeping.
Skriuw keeps track of everyone you mention in your notes with $, so you always know who's connected to what - without any manual setup.
How it works
Type $ followed by a name to mention someone. Skriuw remembers them automatically, giving you a People overview where every person you've ever mentioned lives in one place, along with a color you can pick to spot them at a glance.
The People overview
- See every person you've mentioned, with a color swatch next to their name
- Click a person to open their page and see every note that mentions them
- Renaming a person updates every mention across all your notes instantly - no need to find and fix them one by one
- Merge two people into one if you've accidentally created duplicates; every mention gets repointed and the duplicate disappears
- Delete a person if you no longer need them - their mentions simply become plain text
Person pages
Open any person to see:
- A running count of how many notes mention them
- A list of those notes, each showing when it was last edited
- A shortcut to view them in the graph, alongside the notes and tags they're connected to
Tips
- Mentioning the same person consistently keeps their page accurate - use the same
$nameeach time rather than variations - Pick distinct colors for people you reference often, so they stand out while skimming notes
- Use the graph view to see how a person connects to your notes, tags, and other people at once
Why use People?
People blur into the background of most note-taking apps - a name typed once and never surfaced again. Skriuw turns every mention into a living connection: rename someone once and it ripples everywhere, open their page and instantly see everything you've written about them. It's how your notes stay connected to the people in them, automatically.
