NB: This integration currently requires macOS Big Sur, as noted below. Please make sure you have the latest Hook integration scripts (version 165 or newer) in Hook > About (or its Update tab). You may need to do Hook > Preferences > Update > “Check Now”. That will update the integration with Craft (if is not up-to-date.)
Craft is a relative newcomer to the world of note-taking, writing and document-creation apps, but its beautiful UI and rich feature set have led many Mac users to adopt it. Its developer clearly values integration with other apps and services, and has growing support for automation of these integrations – allowing you to stay “in flow” while you’re working in Craft.
From its first release, Craft has supported bidirectional linking and backlinks. In addition to allowing users to copy a link to any page, its Copy Deeplink
and Copy Markdown Deeplink
features let you copy links to blocks, cards or sub-pages within documents.
Hook enables you to bidirectionally link Craft pages, blocks, cards or sub-pages to just about anything else on your Mac, including other files and folders throughout your system. They are connected via a hook – a bidirectional link that is visible whenever you invoke Hook on either item in the link.
You can also paste links obtained through Hook into Craft to connect files, folders, emails, tasks, contacts cards and other resources to your Craft documents.
