The Advanced Note Editor

The Arka Note Editor is a high-performance, block-based system built on the TipTap engine. It transforms static documents into dynamic, interactive workspaces where text, data, AI, and visualization coexist seamlessly.

Block-Based Architecture

Every element in Arka—from a simple paragraph to a complex database—is a distinct block. This modularity allows you to drag, drop, and reorganize your thoughts with precision.

  • Granular Control: Each block can be independently styled, moved, or deleted.
  • Infinite Flexibility: Mix and match over 30+ block types on a single page.
  • Clean Slate: Start with a blank canvas that feels as natural as paper but as powerful as a dev console.

The Command Slash (/) Menu

Never break your flow. Use the `/` command on any new line to trigger the block selector and insert content instantly.

  • Core Blocks: Headings (H1-H3), Bulleted/Numbered lists, Task checklists, and Dividers.
  • Rich Media: Direct access to Image uploads, Video embeds, Audio files, and File attachments.
  • Functional Blocks: Insert Buttons, Callouts, Equation blocks (LaTeX), and even full Workspace links.

Advanced Interactive Blocks

Arka goes beyond text. We provide native support for deep visualization and productivity tools directly inside your notes.

  • Unified Hub: Use the right-hand sidebar to switch between 'Editor View' and 'Canvas View' for spatial organization.
  • Mind Maps: Convert complex hierarchies into interactive visual maps using native integration.
  • Sketch Pads: Need to doodle? Open a drawing canvas inside your note with a full set of brush and shape tools.
  • Focus Timers: Start a Pomodoro or Countdown timer directly in your note to track deep work sessions.
  • Flashcards: Create active recall cards as you study; they integrate directly with your Arka study dashboard.
  • Synced Blocks: Create a block in one note and sync it to others. Any edit in one place reflects everywhere instantly.

Unified AI Intelligence

Intelligence is baked into the editor, not bolted on. Use Arka AI to accelerate your writing and organization.

  • AI Block: Use the magic sparkle button to generate content, summarize long sections, or brainstorm ideas based on page context.
  • Magic Metadata: Let AI auto-generate the perfect Title, pick an expressive Emoji icon, and set a beautiful Cover image from Unsplash based on what you wrote.
  • Inline Assistance: Highlight any text to have the AI rewrite for tone, fix grammar, or translate to another language.

Real-Time Collaboration

Work together as if you're in the same room. Arka uses high-speed sync for a frictionless team experience.

  • Live Cursors: See exactly where your teammates are typing with color-coded cursors and name labels.
  • Permission Control: Set granular access levels—from full 'Editor' rights to 'Suggestor' or 'Viewer' modes.
  • Conflict Resolution: Built on robust Yjs technology, Arka handles simultaneous edits without data loss.

Spatial Layouts

Traditional notes are vertical. Arka is multi-dimensional.

  • Multi-Column Layout: Drag blocks side-by-side to create professional layouts, comparison tables, or dashboard-style notes.
  • Full Width Mode: Expand your canvas to use the full width of your screen—perfect for complex databases and large sketches.
  • Auto-Generating TOC: A sticky Table of Contents is automatically built from your headings for easy navigation.
