overview

yoınko is an AI-native cloud knowledge base. You write in Markdown or HTML, organize pages into folders, build diagrams, manage task boards and priority to-dos, and keep spreadsheet-style pages next to your notes. The AI lives in a chat drawer on the right — ready to draft new sections, summarize what you've written, generate checklists, or create images from a description. Your workspace stays organized, searchable, and available from the cloud.

key features

  • Markdown & HTML pages — TipTap-based WYSIWYG editor with live preview for HTML; full inline table editing (add/delete rows and columns), collapsible sections, and distinct icons for each page type
  • Diagram files — create visual canvases for sketches, maps, and system diagrams using a curated shape library designed for diagramming, with resizable shapes and font-size control for text inside and outside shapes
  • Kanban task pages — manage board-style tasks with a per-task details modal (description, attachments, links); assign tasks to a project, filter and group boards by project, set Start Date and Due Date with color-coded deadline indicators on cards; Cloud Crew can assign tasks to tenant members
  • Priority to-do lists — add Low, Medium, and High post-it columns to folder pages
  • Spreadsheet pages — capture structured rows and columns without leaving the workspace; import CSV/Excel, reorder sheet tabs, and format values from the toolbar
  • Real-time collaboration — on Yoinko Cloud, peers see your saves without refreshing the page
  • Bulk file operations — multi-select files and folders in the sidebar and move them in one action
  • Cross-workspace tabs— open pages from different workspaces side-by-side in the same window; browser tab titles are prefixed with the workspace name so you always know what you're looking at
  • AI chat drawer — context-aware chat that knows your current page; apply replies directly
  • AI image generation — generate images via DALL-E, Imagen, or any compatible endpoint
  • Bring your own LLM — OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, LM Studio, OpenRouter)
  • Multi-workspace — organize work into separate workspaces with independent folder trees
  • Folder tree — one level of nested folders, drag-free ordering, right-click context menus
  • Asset management — upload, preview, and delete files attached to any page
  • File locking — make a file read-only until you intentionally unlock it
  • Page sharing — read-only shared pages with optional passwords before publishing; Markdown, Kanban, and Diagram pages all render correctly when shared
  • Access protection — password-protect specific folders or pages so only people with the password can open them
  • Storage breakdown tooltip — hover the storage bar to see how much of each file/page type is using your quota, with color-coded segments
  • Branded mascot chat — the Yoinko mascot is your AI assistant, always one click away
  • Light & dark mode

usage

creating pages

Click + page/folder in the sidebar. Create notes, HTML pages, diagrams, task boards, spreadsheets, files, or folders from the same picker. Use numbered prefixes (e.g. 01 home) to control the order.

folder nesting

Folders support one child-folder level: Parent Folder → Child Folder → Content. This keeps the sidebar readable while still supporting grouped work.

folder priority to-dos

On a folder page, add a priority to-do list above the search input when you want lightweight planning for that folder. The list is split into Low, Medium, and High post-it columns.

locking files

Lock a file when you want to prevent accidental edits. Locked files stay read-only until you unlock them again.

AI chat

Open the drawer on the right to chat with yoınko. It knows the current page as context — ask it to summarize, rewrite, or add sections. Click "Apply" to insert an AI reply directly into the page.

AI image generation

Describe an image in the chat and yoınko generates it via DALL-E, Imagen, or your configured endpoint. Images are saved as assets attached to the page.

page types

Yoinko workspaces can hold different file and page types in the same folder tree.

TypeUse it forNotes
Markdown pageNotes, specs, drafts, researchEditable with the TipTap WYSIWYG editor; full inline table editing (add and delete rows and columns) plus collapsible sections
HTML pageCustom layouts, snippets, embedded previewsIncludes a live preview workflow; displayed with a distinct icon in the sidebar so it's easy to tell apart from Markdown pages

Task boardKanban planning and project trackingClick a card to open a details modal with description, attachments, and links. Each task supports a Project field plus Start Date and Due Date, with color-coded deadline indicators (green on track, yellow overdue, red not started or inactive) and a Created At footer timestamp. Boards can be filtered and grouped by project. Cloud Crew can assign tasks to tenant members.

SpreadsheetTables, trackers, lightweight structured dataGrid-style page. Import CSV/Excel, reorder sheet tabs, merge cells, and format values (number, currency, percent, date) from the toolbar.
Uploaded fileImages, PDFs, and other supporting assetsCan be opened from the sidebar or context menu

sharing

Public page sharing publishes a read-only version of a page. Add password protection before publishing when a page should only be available to people with the password. Markdown, Kanban, and Diagram pages all render correctly in the shared view.

access protection

Folders and individual pages can be password-protected from inside the app — only people with the password can open the protected branch. Useful for keeping client-specific or sensitive sections private inside a shared workspace.

FAQ

Can I use it without an LLM?

Yes. Without a configured provider the AI features (chat, AI sections, image generation) are disabled, but the editor, folders, and asset management work fine. The LLM is optional.

Where is my data stored?

Yoinko Cloud stores workspace data on managed infrastructure with encryption at rest and in transit. You can export your workspace from the dashboard.

Can I use my own LLM provider?

Yes. Choose OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, or OpenAI Compatible in Settings, then save your provider key and model.

Can I export my data?

Yes. Use the dashboard export action to download your workspace content as a zip file.

Can I lock a file?

Yes. Lock a file when you want it to stay read-only and avoid accidental edits. Unlock it before making intentional changes.

Can I share a page publicly?

Yes. Shared pages are read-only, and you can add password protection before publishing when needed. Published viewers cannot edit the source page. Markdown, Kanban, and Diagram pages all render correctly in the shared view.

Can I password-protect specific folders or pages?

Yes. Set a password on a folder or an individual page from inside the app. Only people with the password can open the protected branch — useful for keeping sensitive sections private inside a shared workspace.

Which plan should I choose?

Cloud is for individual workspaces. Cloud Crew adds team seats, member assignment, and more storage. Cloud Enterprise adds dedicated hosting, managed Yoyo AI, and 24-hour SLA support.
