Getting Started

Getting up and running with General Text takes about a minute.

Create an account

Visit the registration page and sign up with your email and a password (minimum 8 characters). After registering, you'll be signed in automatically.

Create a workspace

A workspace is your top-level container — it holds files and apps. After signing in, you'll be prompted to create your first workspace. Give it a name and you're in.

You can create multiple workspaces for different projects or contexts. Each workspace has its own storage, members, and installed apps.

Add files

Use the + button in the sidebar's Files section to create a new file. You can also drag and drop files onto the workspace to upload them. Files can be organized into folders using paths like notes/ideas.md.

Invite collaborators

In workspace settings (the gear icon in the sidebar footer), go to the Members tab to invite others by email. Members can view and edit files in real time. Admins can additionally manage settings, install apps, and add other members.
