Welcome to Selah! This guide covers the core features of the app.
Selah is a local-first app. All your data is stored in a folder on your computer called a Vault. You can create multiple vaults, back them up by copying the folder, or sync them using a service like Dropbox or Syncthing.
The Daily Journal is the heart of Selah. It automatically creates a new note for every day of the year, allowing you to write down your thoughts, log your day, and track your life.
You can create custom notes and link them together using [[wiki-links]]. Just type [[ to search for another note in your vault and link it instantly. This allows you to build your own personal knowledge graph.
Selah uses a powerful block-based editor. Type / to open the slash menu and insert:
- Headings and Lists
- Callout Blocks
- Images and Photo Galleries
- Bible Verses (Scripture Blocks)
- Bookmarks and Embedded Links
You can change the look and feel of Selah in Settings > Appearance. Selah supports Light, Dark, and fully custom themes with cover images and icons for your notes.
