Help & documentation

Create your account, pin your first index card, and learn the corkboard basics in about five minutes.

Make boards for each project, switch between corkboard and kanban views, and rename boards as your work evolves.

Open the full-screen card editor, write in rich text or raw markdown, and color-code your index cards.

Drag cards anywhere on the corkboard, slot them between neighbors, pile related cards into stacks, and work in kanban columns.

What archiving does (and doesn't do), what deletion removes permanently, and how each affects your plan limits.

Every card is markdown underneath — here's the full formatting reference, from bold and headings to live checklists.

Connect characters to scenes and ideas to chapters with double-bracket links, custom link text, and automatic backlinks.

Label cards with tags, filter a board down to just the cards that match, and keep each board's tag vocabulary its own.

Search every board at once with ⌘K, scope to the board you're on, and use #tag to search by label.

Paste, drop, or upload images onto index cards — plus how the 10 MB limit and your plan's storage pool work.

Give anyone a view-only link to a board — no account needed on their end — and switch it off whenever you like.

One click turns any board into a clean, portable .md file — your words in a format every writing tool can read.

What each Cork plan includes, how yearly billing works, and exactly what happens when you upgrade, downgrade, or cancel.
