Aloha
A note becomes a house
Write a thought, and a house goes up right next to you. Walk to its door to read it.
Aloha: a place for your thoughts
Your notes become a little world you can walk through. Every note is a house, every link a road, every folder a land of its own. Go for a walk and read what you wrote.

how it grows
Write, and the town builds itself.
No settings to learn. Four rules, and you already know them all: what you write is what grows. Nothing on the map is decoration. Every house is a note of yours.

Write more, a garden grows
The more a note holds, the more grows by its door: flowers, bushes, ivy, a tree. Pictures hang on its wall.
-
A link is a road
Link two notes and a road runs from door to door. The more links share it, the better it gets: a path, a road, paving, lamps.

More thoughts, a town
A hamlet becomes a village, then a town round its square. Notes you haven’t opened in a month fade until you visit.
Every folder, one world.
Folders become lands with their own ground, meadow, desert or snow, joined by bridges. Portals on each square take you from one to another, so a big vault still feels like a place you know your way around.
your notes
Bring the notes you already have.
Aloha draws your notes. It doesn’t keep them somewhere else. Open a folder, connect a workspace, or just start writing.
Obsidian
Open your vault folder. Folders become lands, notes become houses, [[links]] become roads. Everything stays plain Markdown on your device.

the film
Twenty-three seconds.
From a single note to a world of towns. Sound on, if you can.
What the film shows
- A note drops onto the ground and a house goes up where it fell.
- The note is written further, and a garden grows round the house.
- A link to another note lays a road from door to door.
- More notes, more houses: a hamlet becomes a village, then a small town round its square.
- The camera pulls back: every folder is an island of its own, joined by bridges, as evening comes and the windows light up.
questions
Before you go for a walk.
Is Aloha free?
Yes. Aloha runs in your browser and costs nothing. There is nothing to install and no account to make.
Does it work with Obsidian?
Yes. Open your vault folder: folders become lands, notes become houses and [[links]] become roads. Your notes stay plain Markdown on your device. Chrome and Edge can read and write the vault; other browsers open it read-only.
Does it work with Notion?
Yes. Sign in with Notion and choose which pages to share. Pages become lands and houses, and open with their tables, toggles and pictures.
Where are my notes kept?
With you. A world you start in Aloha is kept in your browser; an Obsidian vault stays in its folder on your device; Notion pages stay in Notion.
How do I get in touch?
Write to hello@aloha.place. We read every letter.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Aloha is made for phones first and can be added to the home screen, where it opens offline too.
