In this section, we'll take a quick look at the key concepts behind how Arky organizes information.

Workspace

A workspace is a place where you can edit and store knowledge—on your own or with a team.

It's organized into three types: Projects, Shells, and Resources. You can group and categorize each type using folders.

Project

A project is a collection of knowledge grouped around a specific purpose.

It supports a dynamic canvas, and most of your editing happens here. You can also bring in Shells and Resources and use them in your project.

Shells

Shells are the atomic unit of content in Arky—each Shell maps to a heading and its nested content.

You can create Shells inside a project or directly in your workspace.

Shells that live outside of any project are organized in folders at the workspace level and can be brought into a project whenever needed.

Resources

Resources are reference materials such as PDFs and web links.

You can attach Resources to a project to use them as context while working. Attaching a Resource makes it available within that project—it's not inserted into your document, but kept alongside it as a reference.

• Web links are identified by their URL (so the same URL won't be duplicated).
• PDFs are identified by their file name.

Folder Structure

You can organize your Projects, Shells, and Resources into folders, and nest those folders as deep as you need.

Inside a folder, you can switch between grid, list, and column views to browse your items however suits you best.

Support for adding custom properties to items and managing them as a structured database is coming soon.
