Glob for Web

Glob for Web is a workspace for developing ideas through notes and their connections. You can capture a sentence, expand it into a longer note, arrange it on a canvas and connect it to other notes. Tasks use the same workspace, with completion, due dates and subtasks.

Open Glob for Web in your browser. The Linux desktop app uses the same workspace and adds application menus and desktop update controls. See Linux installation and updates for the available download choices.

Start with a small project#

Follow Getting started to sign in, enter the sync passphrase and create a project. A useful first exercise is a project called “Garden”: add a node for the main idea, capture a few notes about plants, and make a task to measure the space.

The canvas and the list panel show different views of your material. Nodes follows the open canvas. Snippets holds notes you are collecting. Tasks holds work you can complete. A note can appear in more than one place, so arranging it on a canvas need not remove it from a list.

Capture and organise#

• Capture and lists: add notes and tasks, choose a list, nest rows and move several items together.
• The canvas: pan, zoom, connect nodes, work with groups and enter a node's own canvas.
• Nodes and the editor: write, format text and use the actions attached to a node.
• Tasks and projects: complete tasks, set due dates, manage subtasks and choose projects.
• Search: filter the list you are using or move the canvas to a matching node.
• Import and export: exchange Glob Portable v1 files with the CLI and import older Mac projects.

Work with AI#

Ask Glob opens a conversation over the workspace. You can review proposed notes, tasks and connections before creating them. Contextual AI covers Look up, Brainstorm and hashtags around an individual note.

Use Synthesis for summaries of connected material and Project View. Prompts explains the guidance controls and their current limitations. Check the material used for a result before treating it as a complete account of your notes.

Work with other people#

Sharing projects explains invitations, roles and opening a shared canvas. Canvas chat and notifications covers messages between collaborators and task completion notices. A shared project starts separately from your private project; setting up membership does not automatically populate it with your existing notes.

Make the workspace yours#

Use Settings for appearance, sync controls and account entry points. Keep Keyboard shortcuts nearby while learning the controls. Limits and availability explains platform boundaries, and Troubleshooting names the messages you may meet.
