Pellet Help
Pellet keeps your notes as ordinary files in a folder you choose. There’s no account, nothing to sign up for, and it works with the wifi off.
No jargon, and nothing assumed about what you already know.
Start here
Section titled “Start here”If you’ve never opened Pellet before, do these in order and you’ll know enough to be useful:
- Install Pellet — where to get it
- Choose your vault — the folder your notes live in
- Find your way around — what all the panes are
- Write your first note — and what markdown actually means
- Link notes together — the bit that makes it more than a pile of files
Coming from another app? Moving in from Obsidian covers what carries over.
- Folders and tags — two ways to organize, and when each helps
- Finding things — the quick switcher and search
- Daily notes and templates — a page per day, and starting from a shape
- Images and files — dropping things into a note
- The graph — your links, drawn as a map
- Read a folder as one document — for anything longer than a note
Tasks and planning
Section titled “Tasks and planning”- Your first task — and what the fields mean
- Choosing a view — which of the four to reach for
- Filters and saved views — narrowing thousands down to today’s handful
- Repeating tasks — weekly reviews and the last working day of the quarter
- Reminders — being told before it’s late
- Show your real calendar — Google, iCloud and subscribed feeds
- Importing tasks — from the Obsidian Task Manager plugin
Beyond text
Section titled “Beyond text”- Canvas and drawing — boards, whiteboards and handwriting

Your data
Section titled “Your data”- Where your notes live — the folder, the formats, and why it matters
- Sync across devices — with a relay you run
- Getting a version back — when you delete the wrong paragraph
- Archiving and deleting — out of the way versus gone
Making it yours
Section titled “Making it yours”- Appearance — themes, colors, fonts, density
