Getting started

Lattice workspaces are normal directories marked by a readable lattice.yaml. You can create the default ~/Lattice home, create a workspace in another folder, or open an existing workspace.

The desktop workflow

1. Open Lattice and create or choose a workspace.
2. Use the Files sidebar to open pages, canvases, tables, and ordinary files.
3. Create a page with the visible + menu or open Quick Capture with Cmd/Ctrl+N.
4. Use search with Cmd/Ctrl+K and the command palette with Cmd/Ctrl+P.
5. Open Inspect for properties, backlinks, history, schema, source, permissions, and diagnostics.

Pages are Markdown files. Lattice autosaves through its semantic command core and reports a conflict instead of silently overwriting an external edit.

Interoperate with other tools

Canonical files remain available to Finder, Explorer, terminals, Git, backup software, VS Code, and format-specific applications. Quick Note and resource actions can open the same file externally; Lattice does not require a separate export step.
