AuroraDocs combines a powerful editor, structured databases, tasks, knowledge discovery, and real-time collaboration — all offline-first, all in one workspace.
Built on TipTap with 30+ block types. Start typing, hit / for a slash command, or drag blocks around. Every page is structured, searchable, and linkable.
Every content format you need, all accessible via slash command or keyboard shortcut.
Press / anywhere to insert any block type. Fuzzy search, keyboard navigation, and instant insertion — no mouse required.
Syntax highlighting for 30+ languages via lowlight. Copy button, language selector, and line numbers built in.
Write LaTeX with KaTeX rendering. Block-level and inline equations. Instant preview as you type.
Collapsible toggle blocks for progressive disclosure. Outliner blocks with indent, outdent, collapse, and expand — without affecting regular lists.
Drill into any heading Workflowy-style. Breadcrumb trail shows where you are. Narrows your view without losing context.
Hide the sidebar and all chrome with one shortcut. Just you and the text. Toggle back any time.
Add a cover image to any page. Drag to reposition vertically. Generate with AI or upload your own.
Assign an emoji icon to any page from the full @emoji-mart picker. Shows in the sidebar, breadcrumbs, and graph view.
Paste a YouTube URL to get a full embed. Paste any link to get an inline preview card with title, description, and image.
Embed any page inside another. Content syncs live — editing the source updates every embed automatically.
Reference any block with ((blockId)) syntax. The referenced block renders inline and updates when the source changes.
Every database is also a collection of pages. Switch views, add properties, filter and sort — the data is the same, the lens is yours to choose.
Switch between views without losing your data. Each view has its own filter, sort, and configuration.
Save multiple named views per database. Each tab remembers its own filter, sort order, and grouping. Share a link to a specific view.
Multi-column sort with priority order. AND/OR filter groups with per-property operators. Quick search across all text fields.
Text, number, select, multi-select, date, checkbox, URL, email, phone, file, relation, and rollup. Add as many as you need.
Link rows across databases. One-to-many and many-to-many. Navigate in both directions — related entries appear on both sides automatically.
Aggregate related data: count, sum, average, min, max, or show all values. Updates live as linked rows change.
Properties panel on every page, not just database rows. Add structured fields to any note, task, or document via the __schema key.
Embed a filtered live view of any database directly inside a page with the /set command. Auto-updates as the database changes.
Define your own types (beyond pages, tasks, databases) with custom names and colors. Appears in the sidebar and type filter.
No separate app. Tasks are objects — they have properties, live inside pages, and appear in your calendar. Everything in one place.
Drag tasks between status columns. Configurable columns with custom status values. Collapse columns you don't need.
Monthly grid with daily note creation from any cell. Tasks with due dates appear on their day. Side panel shows tasks for the selected date.
Status, priority, due date, assignee, tags, and any custom property you add. Filter and sort by any combination.
Set a due date and get an email when a task is due. Reminders run server-side so they fire even when the app is closed.
Press ⌘⇧N from anywhere in the app to open a modal and capture a thought, note, or task immediately. No context switching.
10 built-in templates: meeting notes, project tracker, reading list, weekly review, and more. Apply to any page or workspace in one click.
A note automatically created for each day. Navigate forward and back with arrows. Tasks created in daily notes link back to the note.
Drag and drop .md files or exported Notion zips into Settings → Import. Content converts to native blocks automatically.
Links between ideas, visual maps of your entire knowledge base, and spaced-repetition flashcards. Built for deep thinking, not just quick notes.
Every page shows which other pages link to it. Bi-directional — create a link in one direction and both pages know about it.
AuroraDocs finds every place your page title appears without a link. One click to convert the mention into a real backlink.
Copy the block ID of any paragraph, heading, or list item and reference it with ((id)). The referenced content renders live.
A force-directed SVG graph of your entire workspace. Nodes are pages, edges are links. Zoom, pan, and click to navigate.
Infinite canvas with pan and zoom. Add text cards, object cards (linked to real pages), and SVG arrows. Freeform thinking space.
Select any text and press a shortcut to create a flashcard. Review with SM-2 spaced repetition. Due cards surface automatically each day.
Auto-generated from headings. Scrolls alongside the page. Jump to any section with one click. Updates live as you edit.
Hover over any internal link to peek at the linked page without leaving your current context. Supports full peek modal.
Save any URL as a bookmark object. AuroraDocs fetches the title, description, and preview image automatically via Open Graph metadata.
No chat window to switch to. Select text, open the AI menu, and transform it in place. Powered by Claude. Bring your own API key.
Select any text to get instant AI actions directly in the editor via the bubble menu.
Add your Anthropic API key in Settings. The key is stored locally and calls go direct — AuroraDocs never sees your prompts or content.
Generate cover images and inline images with DALL-E 3. Describe what you want and insert directly into the page.
Open a full AI dialog from the command palette to write longer prompts, ask questions about your notes, or generate full sections.
Your data lives on your device. Sync is a feature you opt into, not a requirement. Every piece of the app works without a network connection.
All data stored in IndexedDB in your browser. Zero network requests for your content. No account needed. Nothing leaves your device.
Save workspace data to a folder on your device or cloud drive — iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, or any folder mount. JSON files you can read.
Real-time multi-device sync via AuroraCloud, hosted in the EU (Hetzner, Finland). Keeps all devices in sync automatically.
Powered by PowerSync with a local SQLite mirror. Changes sync bidirectionally. Offline edits merge cleanly when you reconnect.
Create as many workspaces as you need — personal, work, projects. Switch between them from the sidebar. Each has its own sync settings.
Attach files to any page. Stored in S3-compatible storage. Available offline on devices that have synced them. Size limit: 64 MB per file.
Work together without stepping on each other. Real-time co-editing, granular roles, comments, workspace chat, and public sharing — all built in.
Powered by Yjs CRDT. Multiple people can edit the same page simultaneously. Changes merge automatically with no conflicts and no locking.
Owner — full control. Editor — read and write. Viewer — read-only with no edit access. Enforce per-workspace.
Leave threaded comments on any page. @-mention workspace members to notify them. Comment history persists on the page.
A real-time chat channel per workspace. @-mention members, share links, and discuss without leaving AuroraDocs. Powered by Supabase Realtime.
Share any page via a link. Set access policy: public (anyone with link) or password-protected. Optionally allow comments from visitors.
Publish any page as a public website at a custom slug. No login required for readers. Supports custom domains.
Every page save is a version snapshot. Browse the full history, diff changes, and restore any previous version with one click.
See who else is on the same page in real time. Avatar indicators show active collaborators without any setup.
End-to-end encryption, EU data residency, GDPR compliance, and a zero-knowledge option. We don't read your notes — and with E2EE enabled, we can't.
Enable E2EE per workspace with a passphrase you choose. All content is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it leaves your device. The server stores only ciphertext — we have no key and can never read your content. To collaborate on an encrypted workspace, members each derive the key from the same passphrase.
Aurora Cloud is hosted on Hetzner infrastructure in Finland. Your data never leaves the European Union. GDPR-compliant by design.
Protect any share link or publish link with a password. Viewers must enter the correct password before the content is decrypted and shown.
JWT-based sessions with refresh tokens. Revoke all sessions from Account Settings. Supports TOTP (authenticator app) as a second factor.
All admin actions are logged with actor, timestamp, and target. Available to workspace owners and operators in the admin panel.
No analytics scripts, no third-party trackers, no ad pixels. The only network requests your content makes are to AuroraDocs services.
From accent color to full custom CSS. Personalize every workspace independently — a professional workspace and a personal one can look completely different.
Full dark and light theme support. Follows system preference by default, overridable per account. Optimized for long reading sessions in both.
Choose from Copper (default), Purple, Pink, Red, Orange, Green, Teal, or Gray. Different accents in light and dark mode if you prefer.
Choose from built-in Aurora artworks, gradients, photos, or your own uploads for covers and backgrounds. Personal and workspace defaults can each have their own atmosphere.
Inject custom CSS into any workspace. Override any part of the interface. Changes apply instantly without a reload.
Colorize sidebar items by object type or custom color. Makes navigating a dense workspace dramatically faster.
Full keyboard navigation. Shortcuts for new page, back, forward, focus mode, quick capture, command palette, graph view, and all editor formatting.
Open with ⌘K. Search pages, run commands, switch workspace, navigate to graph or calendar. Fully keyboard-driven.
Pin Recent Pages and Favorites sections to the sidebar. Add custom quick-access links to any page or external URL.
The same account and data on web, desktop, and mobile. Native apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android — all built from the same codebase.
Full-featured progressive web app at app.auroradocs.eu. Works in any modern browser. Installable as a PWA for an app-like experience.
Native desktop app built with Tauri. Smaller and faster than Electron. System tray integration, native file dialogs, and offline-first caching.
Mobile app built with React Native and Expo Router. Full editor on mobile with a format toolbar, gestures, and camera integration for image upload.
