Foam for VSCode

</div>

Foam is a note-taking tool that lives within VS Code, which means you can pair it with your favorite extensions for a great editing experience.

Foam is open source, and allows you to create a local first, markdown based, personal knowledge base. You can also use it to publish your notes.

Foam is also meant to be extensible, so you can integrate with its internals to customize your knowledge base.

Features

Graph Visualization

See how your notes are connected via a graph with the Foam: Show Graph command.

Foam Queries

Embed dynamic, auto-updating lists, tables, and counts of notes directly in the Markdown preview using foam-query and foam-query-js code blocks. See the Foam Queries documentation for the full reference.

Block IDs

Link or embed specific paragraphs, list items, headings, and blockquotes within a note using [[note#^blockid]] syntax. Add a ^id marker to any block element, then reference it from anywhere in your knowledge base.

Note embed

Embed the content from other notes. Embed entire notes, sections or even just blocks.

Link Autocompletion

Foam helps you create the connections between your notes, and your placeholders as well.

Sync links on file rename

Foam updates the links to renamed files, so your notes stay consistent.

Unique identifiers across directories

Foam supports files with the same name in multiple directories. It will use the minimum identifier required, and even report and help you fix existing ambiguous wikilinks.

Link Preview and Navigation

Go to definition, Peek References

See where a note is being referenced in your knowledge base.

Navigation in Preview

Navigate your rendered notes in the VS Code preview panel.

Support for sections

Foam supports autocompletion, navigation, embedding and diagnostics for note sections. Just use the standard wiki syntax of [[resource#Section Title]].

Link Alias

Foam supports link aliasing, so you can have a [[wikilink]], or a [[wikilink|alias]].

Templates

Use custom templates to have avoid repetitve work on your notes.

Backlinks Panel

Quickly check which notes are referencing the currently active note. See for each occurrence the context in which it lives, as well as a preview of the note.

Tag Explorer Panel
