Open Glyph from a link
Glyph links use the glyph:// address scheme to open a note, switch Spaces, run a search, or open today’s daily note. Put one in a reminder, calendar entry, or another app when you want a route back to your notes.
Copy a note link
- Open a Space.
- Right-click a Markdown note in the file tree.
- Choose Copy Glyph Link.
- Paste the link into the app where you want to use it.
Clicking the link asks macOS to open Glyph and the target note. Another app may ask before opening an external application.
Link formats
Replace the example paths with paths on your Mac.
Open a note
glyph://open/note?space=/Users/alex/Notes&path=Projects/Launch%20plan.mdspace is the absolute path to the Space folder. path is the note’s path relative to that folder.
Open a Space
glyph://open/space?space=/Users/alex/NotesSearch a Space
glyph://search?space=/Users/alex/Notes&q=%23productThis example searches for #product.
Open today’s daily note
glyph://open/daily-note?space=/Users/alex/NotesSet the Daily Notes folder in that Space first. The action follows the normal open-or-create flow for today’s daily note.
Encode spaces and punctuation
Use URL encoding for query values. A space becomes %20, a hash becomes %23, and an ampersand inside a value becomes %26.
Copy Glyph Link handles note-link formatting for you. Use that command instead of assembling a note link by hand.
Local paths
A Glyph link points to files on a Mac. It does not upload the note or create a public web page. Someone else needs the corresponding Space and file at the referenced paths to use the same link.
If you move the Space folder or rename the target, copy a fresh link. An old link still contains the old path.
Supported targets
Note links target existing Markdown files inside the selected Space. Keep the note path relative to that Space. The link parser rejects paths that escape it, duplicate or unknown parameters, and URL fragments.
Use in-note wikilinks for heading links. Glyph application links do not accept a trailing #heading fragment.
