Canvas Notes
A Joplin plugin that turns a note into an interactive canvas: note and task cards, links between them, free-form layout, and auto-saving to SVG.
Features
- Create a Canvas Note with a single command (
Tools → Canvas Notes → Create Canvas Note). - Visual editor with note/task cards and connections between them.
- Drag & drop, context menu, toolbar.
- Cards linked to existing Joplin notes.
- Localization support.
- Canvas state stored as an embedded SVG resource of the note.
Requirements
Joplin 3.5 or newer.
Installation
From Joplin: Tools → Options → Plugins → search for Calendar Notes.
Manual: Tools → Options → Plugins → Install from file → select the .jpl file.
Usage
Tools → Canvas Notes → Create Canvas Note— creates a new canvas note.- For an existing note already recognized as a canvas:
Tools → Canvas Notes → Open Canvas Editor. - The editor opens automatically for notes whose body is detected as a canvas.
Do not edit the body of a Canvas Note manually in the markdown editor — this will break the embedded SVG resource that stores the canvas state.
