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.

How to copy links in Craft for use with Hook (Copy Link and Copy Markdown Link)

There are two ways to copy a link from Craft. With either method, have your Craft document open and the window selected. Then, either:

1. Invoke Hook in your preferred manner, then press ⌘C or choose Copy Link or Copy Markdown Link from the menu, as shown below. This will copy the link to the current Craft document. OR

2. Use Craft’s own link copying capabilities, by selecting or placing your cursor in any Craft block and either using File menu > Copy Deeplink (or File menu > Copy Markdown Deeplink) or ⌘/Right Click and choosing Copy Deeplink (or Copy Markdown Deeplink) from the contextual menu.
