Concept Cards
Much like Wikipedia structures millions of interconnected concepts, Lino lets you build and organize your own personal wiki — one Concept Card at a time.
A Concept Card is a card whose title is a unique, reusable concept, shown in the top-left corner. A plain card has no concept.
Two ways to make a Concept Card
- Type directly into the concept field in the top-left corner of the card.
- Turn on Auto Concept to sync the concept automatically with the card's first-line heading.
Why add a concept?
A concept lets you instantly spot when the same idea reappears across different cards. Whenever you reference a concept that already exists, Lino can link the two — a frictionless way to build a Connection, with automatic suggestions and manual confirmation.
Try using concepts to build connections quickly:
A plain card is just a note. A Concept Card is a node in your knowledge graph.
What's next
One concept can have many names, and one name can mean many things. Aliases & Variables show you how to handle both.
