Notes & Links
Standalone notes, the note workspace, and explicit two-way links between bookmarks and notes.
Notes are first-class in Arivu. A note does not have to be attached to a bookmark, and any item can be linked to any other item.
Standalone Notes
Use the Notes area for thoughts that never started as a URL. A standalone note enters the same workflow loop as a bookmark: it lands in your Inbox, can carry tasks and reminders, and can appear in Review.
/notesis the compact note list./notes/:idis the full note workspace.
The note workspace is where you edit a note, add tasks and reminders, create links to bookmarks and other notes, and see everything that points back at it.
Explicit Links and Backlinks
Alongside the AI-discovered relationships in the Knowledge Graph, you can create your own explicit links:
- bookmark to note
- note to note
- note to bookmark
Every link is two-way. From either side you can see its backlinks, the other items that point to it. This lets you build the connections that matter to you by hand, on top of the ones Arivu finds automatically.
Annotations
While reading an archived page, you can capture a selection as a quote annotation. Annotations are durable notes attached to a bookmark, and you can edit or delete them inline.
Included in Backups
Notes, links, and annotations are all included in JSON export and restore, so your hand-built structure travels with your data. See Import & Export.
