Everything Fastpad does, and the reasoning behind the parts that are unusual.
Start here
Getting started
Write a note, connect an agent, and see how its edits reach your notes only through you or a grant you made.
Concepts
Notes, blocks, types, properties, collections and links — the six ideas everything else is built from.
Markdown and export
One canonical serialization, with block anchors, used by the export, the API, the agent tools and the disk mirror.
For agents
Agents
How an agent reads, how it proposes, what it takes for one to accept — and how you see every time it does.
MCP
Connect an MCP client: the endpoint, the twelve tools, sessions, anchor handles and budgets.
CLI
fp— headless, scriptable, capture-first, with an exit-code contract you can rely on.API
The HTTP surface: authentication, the workspace header, idempotency, errors and OpenAPI.
How it works
Search
Four retrieval strategies, fused by rank, with an explanation attached to every hit.
Sync and offline
What actually happens to a keystroke, what happens on a plane, and what happens to a laptop that was shut for a year.
Import
Bring a vault in from Obsidian, Notion or a folder of Markdown — and see exactly what did not come.
