First Launch

The first launch flow is designed to get you into a real vault quickly without hiding the local-first model.

What You Choose

Tolaria asks whether you want to:

• Create or clone the Getting Started vault.
• Open an existing local vault.
• Create a new empty vault.

The Getting Started vault is cloned locally and then disconnected from its remote. That keeps the sample safe to edit without accidentally pushing tutorial changes.

What Tolaria Creates

Tolaria stores app-level settings on the local machine. Your notes stay in the vault folder you choose.

Data	Stored in
Notes and attachments	Your vault folder
Type definitions and saved views	Your vault folder
Window size, zoom, recent vaults	Local app settings
Cache data	Rebuildable local cache

First Commands To Try

• Cmd+K / Ctrl+K: open the command palette.
• New Note: create a note in the current vault.
• Open Getting Started Vault: clone the public sample vault.
• Reload Vault: rescan files after external edits.

AI Setup Prompt

Tolaria can show an optional AI agents prompt after a vault is open. It checks common local install locations for supported coding agents and gives you setup paths, but you can dismiss it and use Tolaria without AI.
