Tree Rules
⬡ Each tree starts with a single
root node
representing a big idea or goal
⬡ Any node can have
at most 4 child nodes
— this keeps ideas focused
⬡ Child nodes represent the parts, steps, or sub-goals that make up their parent
⬡ There is no limit on depth — you can go as deep as you need
⬡ All data is stored as JSON and can be exported at any time
Creating Nodes
⌨
Start typing
anywhere to name a new child node — the first character opens the creation dialog pre-filled
⌨ The new node is added to the
blue highlighted node
if it has room, otherwise to the parent
⌨ Use

in the sidebar to create a new root idea
