Tour the app

Lar adapts to the available screen size. Desktop uses an expanded multi-pane shell; web can use compact, medium, or expanded layouts; native mobile uses a dedicated navigation shell over the same workspace core.

The expanded desktop layout with primary destinations, Object Types, recent Objects, and upcoming work.

The desktop Library sidebar is the starting point for browsing. It contains primary destinations such as Calendar, Tasks, Captures, Workflows, Shared, Graph, and Trash, followed by pinned items, custom sections, Object Types, and Collections. Availability depends on platform capabilities and enabled features.

On compact layouts, the floating navigation bar exposes the most frequent destinations. More opens the remaining destinations, recent Objects, forward navigation, Settings, and page-specific actions.

The center area shows the current destination or Object. Type pages can switch among list, table, board, calendar, gallery, and other supported layouts. Selecting an Object opens its document surface.

The Object header owns its title, Type identity, Collections, and typed properties. Types can be bodyless; when a body exists, the block editor appears below the structured fields.

Use the details surface to inspect information that should not crowd the document itself:

  • Loose properties
  • Relations and backlinks
  • Unlinked mentions and related content
  • Attachments, comments, outline, and version history

On desktop this appears beside the editor. Medium and compact layouts present inspectors as sheets or full-screen flows.

Desktop supports browser-style tabs for working with several Objects and views. Tabs can be pinned and survive a restart. Navigation history is separate from tabs, so Back and Forward move through places visited inside the active context.

Objects can also open in the side panel, letting you inspect a reference without replacing the main document.

Search is for finding content. The command palette combines recent Objects, navigation, creation, view changes, and workspace actions. On compact layouts, Search opens the palette first; expand it to move to the full search page while preserving the query.

Settings are grouped around general preferences, the current workspace, features, integrations, and utilities. Some pages are capability-gated—for example, desktop can manage local AI provider keys while browser and mobile builds cannot expose those native facilities.

Next, create your first structured Object or see the complete Settings guide.
