The vault is the home screen of Stoatify, everything you do starts here. Once you know the three main regions, the rest of the app falls into place.

The Stoatify vault showing the sidebar, a grid of document cards, and the filter bar
The vault: sidebar on the left, your documents in the middle.

The sidebar

On the left you'll find your categories with live document counts, your saved views, and quick links to Trash and settings. Click any category to filter the grid to just those documents.

The document grid

  • Each card shows a document's preview, title, category and tags.
  • Use the filter bar at the top to narrow by category, tag and date.
  • Switch between grid and list, and sort by date, name or category.
  • Select several cards at once to tag, move or share them in bulk.

The detail panel

Open any document to see its full preview alongside its details: category, tags, dates, versions and sharing. This is where you edit metadata, set a reminder, or create a share link.

Tip

The search bar sits at the top on every screen. It looks inside your documents, not just their names, see Find everything, fast.
